Sometimes the very best meals are the easiest to prepare.  Take this one for example.  This is what I made over the weekend.  My favorite roast has always been a rump roast.  Why?  It doesn’t have much fat!  I don’t seem to care for a roast that has fat marbled all the way through it.  […]

    Just found your site. A.MAZ.ING. I linked your Hot Fudge Oreo Cupcakes recipe on my blog http://ificould-ificould.blogspot.com and I can’t wait to make some (and lots of other things as well).

    Looks like you’re revamping your blog, but you can get a button saying you were featured here http://ificould-ificould.blogspot.com/p/featured-sites.html.

    Thanks- can’t wait to get baking!

    Thank you so much for posting such amazing recipes. I am a friend of Chantri’s and I have tried making lots of your recipes. I have a question about these rolls, I tried making them and they did not rise at all. I am wondering after you put the sugar and cinnamon on how long it took for them to puff up and rise?. Maybe my rhodes rolls were just too old or somthing. I am going to try again. The pictures you put on look SO good.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 03/16/2010 - 6:51 pm

      Hi meg,
      Your rolls must have been Old. Sometimes when I’ve used Rhodes rolls that were not fresh,
      they have done the same thing. You can sit them by a warm window, or for faster results:
      Heat your oven to 175 degrees, then turn the oven off.
      Lay a clean towel on the middle rack in the oven, and then set your Cupcake tray on top of that towel.
      Leave the oven door a jar, and let them rise. It doesn’t take long….20 minutes or so.
      Good luck trying this again….they are really delicious.
      Thanks for commenting and visiting.

    What could you use instead of these Rhodes dinner rolls, I have never heard of them> is it like a bread dough? I could make it from scratch maybe? or is it a different kind of pastry like a doughnit? Thank-you for your time. I really want to make these!ReplyCancel

    Just StumbleUpon-ed this site. These look delicious, easy (and most of all – impressive!!) – going to try them for Thanksgiving. 😀 Great idea!!

    For those who asked about Rhodes rolls – I did a google search (simply “Rhodes rolls”), since I never heard of them, either. Apparently they are available in my area (who knew!?). They seem to be a freezer-based dough.

    Monkey bread is made with white dough, so any white bread recipe would also work. I make bread a lot (started yrs ago to economize), so I’ll use a standard recipe.

    You could also try pizza dough sold in the grocery stores – but bread really isn’t difficult to make. Might even try the no-knead recipe circulating around the net, too.ReplyCancel

      Hi Judy,

      Use a large commercial size cookie sheet. Mine are at least 12×17 and have a 1″ thick side. You can also use 2 round cake pans, and make a layered cake as well. We love this cake and the frosting is scrumptious!

      Hi Megan,
      I usually use leftover Chicken Breasts from the following nights dinner. I just slice it very thin and cut it in small pieces.
      Rotisserie Chicken is also very good in this as well.

    Has anybody tried freezing it and can report back? I’m vegetarian and never ate meat, but I like cooking for my DH that eats meat. This recipe looks easy, delicious, but would only work for us if I can freeze whatever leftover I have so he can eat later.

    I’m making this right now. Didn’t add the poppy seeds bc I’m too lazy to look for them lol. Substituted wheat/sesame crackers for 1/2 the Ritz bc I didn’t have enough Ritz and I wanted to use them up. I was a little confused about the butter. I used 1/3 cup for the sauce and the rest of the stick for the crumbs???? I’m sure it will be yummy 🙂ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 09/19/2011 - 5:04 pm

      Hi Cassandra,

      Yes….use one stick for the crumb crust and an additional 1/3 cup for the sauce.
      If you want a lot of crumbs, use both packages of crackers and 1 stick of butter.
      For less crumbs, use 1 package of Ritz crackers and 1/2 stick of butter.ReplyCancel

    My mom has a chicken caserole recipe we all love. I made this tonight and it was a hit. I made some changes because we like our broccoli small and crisp so I didn’t pre-cook the broccoli and I only used the tips. Didn’t have cornstarch so used just flour. I made bread crumbs with some days old whole wheat bread instead of crackers and it was delicious!!! Big hit with the family. Thanks!!

  • collette - 10/21/2011 - 3:41 pm

    I also found this on pinterest. It is in the oven now. Can’t wait to try it. the sauce seemed to need a little something so I added a 1/2 Tablespoon chicken seasoning. YUM! really bumped up the flavor. I also didn’t have RITZ crackers so I used club crackers.ReplyCancel

  • Ally S - 10/23/2011 - 1:05 pm

  • Jen - 11/07/2011 - 3:05 pm

    I found this recipe on pintrest, and have been looking for freezer friendly meals for our neighborhood meal swap, this totally fit the bill….in fact, I froze it from already cooked stage(even with the breadcrumbs on top), then later defrosted and stuck in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes to heat it back up! WONDERFUL! I didn’t have any chicken stock so I just used a chicken bouillon cube in with the water milk and butter, and didn’t add any extra salt…..great flavor!ReplyCancel

    I’ve made this a couple times since finding it on pinterest and I have to say, this is by far the BEST broccoli chicken casserole I have ever tried.

  • Terra - 12/04/2011 - 2:06 pm

    I also found this on Pinterest. However, for a more substantial meal, I added 4 cups of cooked rice to the bottom of my casserole dish and then poured my broccoli, chicken, and cheese sauce on top. I also made 1 1/2 times the cheese sauce. And I served it with rolls. Delicious! Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

    I’m looking forward to trying this recipe, but have one question. The Ritz cracker packaging has just been re-designed so that now there are more tubes with fewer crackers. About how many cups of Ritz crackers do you think you normally use?

    Thanks so much!ReplyCancel

  • nicole - 12/12/2011 - 7:09 pm

    I made this tonight. wow soo very good. this one is a keeper. the only substitue I made was the cheese. Didn’t have cheddar on hand, but I did have a bag of shredded monterey jack/mild cheddar. So I used that instead. Came out good.ReplyCancel

    The recipe sounds delicious!

    Quick tip: I’ve recently realized how amazing pre cooked rotisserie chicken is. If you buy it cold at the deli, its a few bucks cheaper, too. I believe its 3.98 at Wal-Mart for a whole chicken. I dice it up and use it in so many recipes callin for cooked chicken.ReplyCancel

    How should I “cook” the chicken? Boil, saute, fry???

    Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 01/18/2012 - 5:14 pm

      Hi Tiffany,
      When I make this, I usually use leftover chicken from the previous nights meal. Whatever method you use, will work just fine.

  • Taryn - 01/18/2012 - 7:49 pm

    My husband LOVED the dish but mine came out a bit runnier than what I would’ve thought. I think it had to do with my cornstarch in the dissolved water – there was still some at the bottom of my small glass and it hardened so I didn’t even try mixing in. Any tips on how not to have this happen the next time?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 01/19/2012 - 10:00 am

      Hi Taryn,

      Sometimes I use frozen broccoli, and then I need to make al little more cornstarch/water mixture.
      Next time, just mix a teaspoon or more cornstarch into the water, and slowly add it.
      You might also try cooking it a bit longer. Crack the corner of the foil on top as it bakes, this will help thicken
      the sauce as well. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for this AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL recipe! Love it! I’ll be making it again! Just wanted to share that next time, I’m going to top it with Stove Top Stuffing. It makes another great topping. Just mix a package with a stick of butter and top your casserole. Thanks again and take care!!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 02/02/2012 - 10:32 am

      Hi Susan,

      I would think that 1 to 1 1/4 cups of cracker crumbs would be sufficient. I usually decrease the amount of butter
      used in the crumbs, to save a few calories. You will just want enough butter, to bind the crackers together a bit.

  • Carolyn - 02/06/2012 - 7:55 pm

    How many servings does this usually make? And do you use one whole rotisserie chicken instead of 3 breasts? Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 02/07/2012 - 9:33 am

      Hi Carolyn,

      I would think 5 to 6 servings. If I’m not using leftover chicken breasts, I would normally use half of one whole chicken,
      and freeze the rest.
      Hope this helps,

    This recipe sounds like it will be delicious! How well would this freeze? I am expecting my first child this summer and looking for meals I can prepare ahead of time and freeze.

    • Jonna - 02/21/2012 - 10:17 am

      Hi Megan,

      I haven’t ever tried to freeze this before, so unfortunately I really can’t advice you on how well it might turn out.
      Possibly, you could have everything in the freezer and ready, like the chicken, broccoli or any other veggie you might like.
      That way, all you will have to do is quickly make the sauce. If you do try to freeze it, let us all know how it works!

    • Jonna - 02/22/2012 - 10:33 am

      Hi Sarah,

      Possibly you could use low fat milk, reduced calorie cheese, and the reduced fat ritz crackers….with a low fat butter substitute.
      You could also just leave the crumb topping off, or even just sprinkle panko crumb over the top without butter!

  • chelsea j.f. - 02/26/2012 - 10:14 pm

    I had to do some tweaking to the recipe, but once I did it tasted great. I added 1 tsp curry powder (the secret ingredient in my family’s recipe)and a little lemon juice and it turned out great! I also grilled my turkey (didn’t have chicken) in my george foreman to give a little more crispness to the texture. Instead of Ritz crackers I toasted bread to crumble on top (hopefully it knocked off at least a few calories!).ReplyCancel

  • Karen - 02/27/2012 - 6:38 pm

    • Jonna - 02/28/2012 - 10:28 am

      Hi Amanda,
      I think you could use the crock pot for everything, except maybe for the crumb top.
      Possibly use a toaster oven if you have one, to brown the crumbs…or just sprinkle them on the top without the addition of butter.
      Make sure that you use already cooked chicken, and really all you would need to do in the crockpot, is just let it warm through,
      until it’s hot and bubbly.

  • blythe - 03/02/2012 - 5:34 pm

    I also came over here from Pinterest. 🙂 Delicious recipe! I changed it a bit… I didn’t want to use corn starch, so I made a roux with 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of flour over medium-high heat. Browned that up, added just the milk, salt, pepper, and a little bit of ground mustard. Whisked frequently to get a nice creamy sauce, then threw in about 2 cups of the cheese, stirred it and quickly took it off the stove. In the mean time, I’d cooked 1 cup of quinoa, which bulked up to more than 2 cups of cooked. I mixed the quinoa in the cheese sauce and then poured it over the chicken and broccoli in the greased casserole dish. I used panko bread crumbs on top mixed with 1/2 stick butter. Same cooking time. Seriously good.ReplyCancel

  • Mylinda - 03/06/2012 - 3:32 pm

    I made this today and added brown rice on top of the chicken. I used 1% milk, and only half of the cheese. Used Toll House crackers sparingly because that is what I had. Very delicious and Hubby liked it. Next time might add a little onion, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and shredded carrots. I’m trying to lose weight also, and when I figured the calories and divided by 8 servings – YIKES. Delicious but the canned soup has less calories. I will make again and it is nice to have a recipe for a delicious sauce if I don’t have a can at home. Thanks.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 03/13/2012 - 7:50 pm

      Hi Robin,

      Yes…just make a roux instead.
      Heat your butter to a bubble, and quickly whisk in 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour until well blended. Over med. heat add the milk/broth slowly,
      and continue whisking until it’s thickened. Turn heat to low and add the cheese.
      This will set up after it sits for 5 minutes before you eat it.

    • Jonna - 09/06/2012 - 10:05 am

      Hi Katy,

      No, No, No….you should not see that! It was certainly the cornstarch you were seeing. You must dissolve cornstarch with Cold water, and then add it super duper slowly, or it will lump up. Also let it simmer slowly for a few minutes so that any cornstarch taste is gone. They key to adding your cornstarch/water mixture is to make sure it’s very well blended before adding. Add it super slowly!
      I hope you were still able to enjoy it. It’s my favorite!

I did that tonight and it came out fine. Change I made: I let it cook for 30 minutes, then topped it with bread crumbs,and didn’t add the extra cheese on top, no poppy seeds, the kids wouldn’t go for it. found it on pinterest.served it over rice, but it wasn’t necessary as it cooked up well. will probably skip the rice next time. it’s a keeper!ReplyCancel

    Found this recipe on Pinterest and I’m finally getting a chance to make it! I prepped it this morning by doing everything except the cracker topping and putting it in the refrigerator. I’ll do the topping this evening before I bake it. I also made some brown rice to go with it. Can’t wait to taste!ReplyCancel

    This recipe looks delicious and the comments seem to back that up! I am going to make this for a baby shower! One question, though…when I opened my box of Ritz Crackers, I realized they are not in tubes!! They are just loose in one bag!! How do I know how much to use??
    Thanks!!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 02/22/2013 - 7:19 pm

      Hi Donna,

      I would just use about 1 1/2 cups of cracker crumbs and about 3 to 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
      I rarely use as much butter as the original recipe calls for….it’s good, but not necessary. Just play with it!

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 03/08/2013 - 12:11 pm

      Hi Tiana,

      Sometimes I boil chicken breasts. Sometimes I use leftover Chicken breasts from last nights dinner. Sometimes I use rotisserie chicken.

    Made this for dinner tonight, pretty OK, but not perfect. I followed the recipe, I added a jar of alfrado to my cheese sauce, and left out the poppy seeds. I seasoned my chicken, like normal, garlic season sale pepper onion powder and paprika, the sauce seemed like it was a little much, so I half cooked rice, and added it. I baked for 30 minutes then topped with whole grain butter crackers. My hubby and I decided next time, add bacon, and maybe a bag of frozen mixed veggies. It was good, but missing something….ReplyCancel

    Found this recipe on pinterst. Made for dinner tonight. I did add onion powder and garlic powder and used Habanero cheddar cheese. I have to eat Gluten Free I used Glutino Cheddar crackers. Which made me think for Mom’s out there it might be good with goldfish on top for the kids.

    It was very good and hubby even liked it.ReplyCancel

  • Sandi - 06/09/2013 - 7:24 pm

    I usually make a Chicken Divan recipe which call for cream of chicken soup. We love it. I gotta say; this was SO MUCH BETTER! Such great flavor. I made it with only a minor change. I used the whole stick of butter in my sauce and didn’t add any to the crackers on top. It was delish! Thanks so much for the recipe!ReplyCancel

  • Alex - 07/02/2013 - 12:10 pm

    hi!
    i am planning on making this tonight! can’t wait. just wondering if you think it would be ok to use frozen broccoli? and if so, would i need to change anything else in the recipe to accomodate a frozen broccoli? i am assuming i would want to cook the broccoli first correct? sorry for all the questions!!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 07/02/2013 - 5:35 pm

      Hi Alex,

      Yes….I often use the frozen broccoli from my summer garden. Since frozen broccoli is blanched, I simply thaw it, and remove any moisture that might be present, then just layer
      it in with the chicken. It works great!

      Hi Julie,

      I really don’t, but you can lighten this up, by omitting alot of the ritz cracker crust. I often use
      just half and also the reduced crackers as well. Use low fat milk and low fat cheese if need be.

  • Brandy - 07/17/2013 - 8:10 pm

    Hey, had this pinned on Pinterest for a while and made it tonight with a few adjustments. Tasty and easy! Sauteed garlic and a diced onion before adding the chicken to the pan. Also, to create a casserole-type dish, added in some cooked not-quite-al-dente pasta shells to it. Came out great!ReplyCancel

  • Nicole - 07/22/2013 - 10:13 am

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 08/01/2013 - 10:29 am

      Hi Karen,

      Gee….I’m sorry you were disappointed. You could have always added extra seasonings.
      I’ve never made it a secret that we are pretty plain jane in this house when it comes to adding extra kick or
      a lot of seasonings. I use salted butter, and salted crackers as well, so it hasn’t ever seemed to need extra salt.
      If you try it again, you can add any seasonings to the sauce you like!

  • Angela - 08/04/2013 - 6:16 pm

    This is in the oven right now! I can’t wait to taste it. I did use more butter then you called for and I added some chicken bullion to the sauce to make sure it had a rich flavor.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 08/05/2013 - 6:39 pm

      Sorry Amy,
      I’ve never had this problem! When the sauce is first made, it is a touch thin, but once the cheese is added and left to melt, it it such a delicious cheese sauce!

      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Tasha - 08/11/2013 - 5:51 pm

    I made this for tonight’s dinner. It was delicious! I did make a couple of changes to it. I seasoned chicken breasts with garlic salt and pepper, and then browned in oil in a hot pan. I covered them with water and took it down to a low simmer. After the breasts were tender, I incorporated the leftover broth into a roux, using flour instead of corn starch. I will definitely make this again and again.ReplyCancel

    This is in the oven right now and it looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it. Do you think this would freeze well? Wondering if I could make it as a freezer meal (without the topping) and just pull it out and bake it on a night where we need a quick meal? Thanks!ReplyCancel

  • Toni - 09/10/2013 - 7:05 pm

    I have made this several times and my family loves it! And we are not even casserole eaters;-). I bake the chicken first after brushing w olive oil and sprinkling w salt & pepper then cube it. I save the juices and use it for my broth in the recipe. I do add more s & p to sauce before pouring over chicken and broccoli. ( just add to taste).
    For the person who said the sauce never got thick, it could be your medium heat was not high enough to bring the sauce to a boil, a low one at minimum. Cornstarch needs to be brought to a boil to thicken and also to neutralize the flavor.
    Love this recipe!ReplyCancel

  • Carrie Hobbs - 09/11/2013 - 1:18 pm

    I made this and it was wonderful. I scratch cook all of the time so naturally , I tweaked it a little. I added chopped onion, mushrooms and chopped garlic to the sauce. But, to ALL of you……try the NEW Ritz Everything crackers. The are seasoned with onion, poppy seeds ( so, I didn’t add the poppy seeds listed in the recipe ), garlic and sea salt. These crackers add wonderful flavor . Being that I was going to all of the trouble, I doubled the recipe, made 2 casserole dishes and froze one for later.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 09/11/2013 - 2:20 pm

      Hi Carrie,

      I’m glad you enjoyed this!
      It’s sooooo much much better than the canned soup casserole.
      The sauce thickens as it sits, even after baking. It ends up perfect.

    This recipe looks so yummy!!! Please don’t laugh, but if I don’t follow a recipe just right…it turns out wrong. When you say a stick of butter, are you using the 1/4 cup sticks or the 1/2 cup sticks?

    Thanks so much for the recipe and the help. This might be one dish my picky little eater will enjoy!ReplyCancel

  • Kathy - 12/27/2013 - 7:15 pm

    “No soups” caught my attention. I needed to use leftover turkey this week and I had broccoli in the frig so this was perfect. Turkey and turkey broth went into my version of your already great recipe :-), I didn’t have Ritz crackers so I used crushed corn flakes. Really really good.ReplyCancel

  • Ninalp - 01/28/2014 - 10:56 am

    I just put this dish together, I made a few changes though. Instead of chicken broth, I used some cream of chicken, herbs de Provence, a few feta cheese crumbles, 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, and I sautéed some onions and celery. And added that to the cheese sauce to add some flavoring other than salt, I didn’t have ritz, so I used town house. I’ prepare my dinners early in the day, so I won’t know how it is, but I know it’s going to be good…..ReplyCancel

    I made this tonight for my husband as we watch the Superbowl. It’s a delicious recipe. I will have to make this for family. I used a rotissiere chicken and broccoli. I also added some shredded carrot sticks from a bag. I just wanted some added veggies. I bought the poppy seeds but it was not in my bag when i got home so I did without them. The buttery topping and the sauce make this dish wonderful!! Thank you so much for this easy recipe.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 02/02/2014 - 5:22 pm

      Hi Penny,

      I’m so glad you enjoyed this casserole. It’s my favorite as well!
      I actually use the same cream sauce base for broccoli cheese soup as well. You can just add
      a bit more milk, cream or broth if it seems too thick.

      Thank you,
      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Kristina - 11/05/2014 - 11:08 am

    This was AMAZING! Even great reheated days later for lunch :-). I followed the recipe exact, except I seasoned the chicken with mccormick’s montreal chicken seasoning, and added about 1/4 teaspoon of ground mustard to the sauce, as another reader suggested. This added a sutle layer of “something” that just made it taste less like cheese and more like a sauce. Wasn’t noticeable though, you can sneak it in ;-).

    For the broccoli, incase you have to steam it the old fashion way like me, and time isn’t the best judge, I suggest steaming it just until it darkens, and softens just slightly. It makes it soft and crunchy.

    I have never cooked with poppy seeds before, but I am hooked now! Thank you! 🙂 Doesnt affect the taste much, but the texture is sooo worth it! Everyone will love it!

    This is definitely getting added to my regular rotation of casseroles. It was well worth making from scratch! Thank you so much for sharing! This would make a great side without the chicken even! 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Catherine Murphy - 07/31/2013 - 3:01 am

    What a beautiful treat. I had seen these on a friends post and googled them, glory there they were, delicious and easy. Went together a dream. The directions and photos are superb. If I may hint that for the butter measurement of the fudge sauce you put weight needed instead of ‘stick’. In America we have 4oz. Stick but in the UK, where my son is studying and in Kuwait where are we currently reside a stick is 100gr. Such a small difference in a sauce might not signify, but in a cake or something more delicate, could be tricky. Not to mention, my son as a learner cook would not know what size a ‘stick’ is, 200gr stick is available although that’s more of a slab isn’t it? Thanks again for such a beautiful site, a dessert that looks and tastes so lush, but goes together so easily, a cooks dream. Best of luck in all your cooking endeavors. Sincerely, Catherine Murphy.ReplyCancel

      Hi Catherine,

      What a sweet comment to wake to this morning. I need a lift!

    I saw these on Facebook and they look so yummy! I Googled to find the original recipe, but I thought you might like to know that there’s a website sharing the recipe with your picture on their Facebook page with no link back to you. Here’s their post:https://facebook.com/FoodiesNetwork.TV/photos/a.232968730173564.57399.232967203507050/271703672966736/?type=1 Maybe I’m nit the first to let you know but I would want to know if I were so you. 🙂 Have a great day!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 06/18/2012 - 6:44 pm

      Hi Theresa,
      Make sure that your puff pastry stays cold. Pinch together very firmly and seal with egg white or egg wash. Make sure that the open holes are very open. Once they start baking, if you notice some opening too much, quickly pinch tops together again, before they are golden. Hope this helps. I hope you were still able to eat them!

    THe exciting thing, is I just got booked for a wedding in Montana next July.. I am HOPING that it will still be season for huckleberries then?? I want to see them in perosn, bring them home, eat them, have milkshakes, pies, EVERYTHING i can find if I can! I hope!ReplyCancel

    I love this recipe. The contrast between the red cupcakes and the glossy Marshmallow is captivating. However, the use of unpasteurized egg whites scares me. According to the recipe, they are never cooked or heated in anyway.

    I wonder what other kind of homemade dough recipe you could use for this instead of the Rhodes frozen dough (don’t have it here). I wonder if I could make basic dough in the breadmaker and then use that?? Maybe I’ll just have to try it and see!!!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 06/30/2011 - 3:50 pm

      Hi Karen,
      Rhodes Roll dough is in the freezer section of our grocery stores. It is frozen dough that is in the shape of balls, or in a loaf shape. All we have to do is let it thaw, shape it, and then let it rise….just like homemade bread dough. Possibly your stores would have a different brand available in your area. Good luck! You could always use your homemade bread dough in place of the Rhodes roll dough. It’s just so darn handy!

  • Jo Ellen - 09/27/2011 - 11:15 pm

    I absolutely love Auntie Em’s Pretzel bites but hate to pay their price or even have to visit the mall when I’m craving them. Then one day I came across your website and knew I had to try this recipe.

    I recently traveled to another state to visit my boyfriend and took the recipe with me. He was my taste tester and he LOVED them. I made both Salt and Cinnamon/Sugar, he liked the sweets better, of course. He also insisted I leave the recipe with him when I left. lol!

    The only thing I had a problem with (since i’m a perfectionist) I couldn’t get them near as round and pretty as you did. Any tips? I’m thinking that it may have to do with the fact that I quartered them before they thawed.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 09/28/2011 - 9:31 am

  • Alice - 10/17/2011 - 12:17 pm

    Made these last night. They didn’t stay as round as expected when I put them in the boiling water. I also should have let them brown more in the oven.
    I think that I let them rise too much (let the dough thaw too much in a warm oven) before making them into small balls. Still good though. Made some with butter and kosher salt the other wish Cinnamon and sugar. Will probably try these again.ReplyCancel

  • Tonya - 11/02/2011 - 9:52 pm

    Just adding a little know-it-all tidbit. German and soft pretzles get their chewy outside, soft inside texture and their browned exterior by boiling them in an alkaline solution, not just water alone. You can get this by adding 1 tablespoon of baking soda to 3 quarts of water in your pot. This also give pretzles a slight zingyness on the sides of your tongue when you are eating them. Incidentally the alkaline bath makes them brown much quicker than if they were just boiled, leaving the inside just cooked through and soft. Any frozen, yeast bread dough (as long as it is not sweet dough) would work in this recipe.ReplyCancel

  • Brenna - 01/16/2012 - 6:25 pm

    I tried these and they were a horrible failure. They shriveled in the water which I wouldn’t have minded but I thought they were going to taste like pretzels. Instead they just tasted like rolls with some butter and Parmesan.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 01/16/2012 - 7:29 pm

      Hi Brenna,
      I feel so bad. The only thing I can figure, is that you possibly left them in the water bath a bit too long. Some of them might shrink, but once baked they puff again. This process also makes them chewy like a pretzel.

      Try, try again. We love these.

      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Robin danford - 01/18/2012 - 3:18 pm

    My pretzels didn’t turn out as well as expected. I wanted to take them somewhere but they were too ugly! Not chewy enough like a real pretzel. I will eat them, but probably won’t try them again.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 01/18/2012 - 5:16 pm

      Hi Robin,

      I’ve never had this problem. I might have a few of the balls shrivel, but they puff back up when baked.
      This might be due to over rising the balls, or leaving them in the water bath a bit too long.

  • Bethany - 01/21/2012 - 3:30 pm

    Thank you for the recipe and all the explanations. We made these this afternoon and they are delicious. I’m not sure they will last long enough to get some dipping sauces made! The only note I would add for anyone else wanting to make them is that the ones I baked on a dark metal baking sheet got a little too “done” on the bottom. The ones I made on a lighter metal baking sheet were just right. Thanks again!ReplyCancel

    Hi, what is Rhodes roll dough? Thanks.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 02/29/2012 - 6:40 pm

      Hi Lisa,
      Rhodes roll dough, is a brand of frozen unbaked bread dough that comes in loaf size or small balls of dough.
      You can find it in the freezer section, and it comes in bright orange packaging.
      All you have to do, is let the dough thaw, then you shape it anyway you like, and let it rise and bake.
      Maybe you can find a different brand in your freezer section. My newest post is a homemade version for Pretzel bites.

  • Hillary - 03/04/2012 - 7:28 pm

    I tried this recipe tonight and it was pretty amazing. I especially love the cinnamon sugar ones, but I never got around to making the glaze. On a side note, I wanted to suggest something that I personally think would be yummy (but as a college student with minimal basic kitchen essentials, I cannot try it at the moment). My idea is to make the bites, brush with melted butter, then dip into a mixture of crushed graham crackers and apple pie spice.ReplyCancel

  • Melissa - 06/07/2012 - 9:30 pm

    I had high hopes for this recipe. I used Kroger brand rolls and followed the directions. The only difference I did was add baking soda to the water and I didn’t roll in parmesan or cinnamon sugar. I just brushed with butter and salt then made the cheddar dip. I don’t know if it was the brand or what, but it didn’t taste like a pretzel. It just tasted like a bland chewier roll. It wasn’t bad.. but still doesn’t satisfy the pretzel craving like mall pretzels do.

    Have other people had better luck? Does Rhodes end up tasting more like a pretzel?ReplyCancel

    I just wanted you to know that we just made these using a basic roll dough. When I bake bread and rolls I usually tripple the batch so that we can pull them out and proof them anytime we want rolls for dinner. Well I only had 8 rolls left so I used them and ended up with 64 pieces. They came out wonderful! and to accompany them I made a “chic-fil-a sauce” receipe i also found on pintrest! They were so good together my daugher asked me to make them special for her slumber party! so thank you so much!ReplyCancel

  • Shannon Thomas - 08/14/2012 - 12:36 am

    I’d like to share my story of these pretzels.
    Once upon a time a girl named Shannon was up late re-watching One tree Hill. She happened to be watching the episode where Nathan has to go work at the pretzel shop in the mall.
    Being pretty hormonal, Shannon suddenly could not live without a pretzel, so she quickly scoured pinterest for a quick fix.
    Then she found her knight in shining armor, a link to just get off your butt and bake.
    She whipped up the pretzels and continued the guilty-pleasure marathon, all while binge eating approximately 83 of these fantastic pretzel bites.
    She lived plumply ever after.
    The end.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 08/31/2012 - 11:21 am

      Hi Lisa,

      Rhodes rolls….original size and Texas size which are a bit larger, are frozen balls of bread dough.
      They come in a large package and are found in the freezer section on your grocery stores. Hopefully you
      will be able to find them. (Freezer section) You simply thaw as many little balls of dough as you like, and then make
      yummy dinner rolls, scones, pretzels or a number of other desserts. They are very handy to have around.
      I also have recipes for homemade pretzel dough as well on my site. I hope you can find the frozen dough balls….Rhodes makes
      it sooooo simple though.

    These were seriously amazing! I made these for a Sunday afternoon snack and couldn’t stop eating them! I no longer need to go to the Mall and get Auntie Anne’s pretzels I can just make these at a way cheaper price!ReplyCancel

  • Susan Reyes - 10/08/2012 - 7:10 pm

    Forgot to explain they are found in the Bakery dept at Publics. Or you can ask for frozen if not making right away.ReplyCancel

    This might be a silly question, but I’m new to any kind of cooking and I just need some sort of clarification. When you’re letting the bites rise (double in size) are you doing that by putting them until the oven or just letting them sit?ReplyCancel

      Hi Victoria,

      Cover them with a clean kitchen towel, or even saran wrap and let the balls of dough double in size….while sitting on your countertop.

    I’m thinking of making these soon because I LOVE soft pretzels, and have never made them before but wanted to try the bite size first. I was wondering though, could I make a variation of half whole wheat and half all purpose flour? Or that wouldn’t work? I’m fine with sticking to all purpose, but if I can use whole wheat, I think that’d be really great!ReplyCancel

  • Jill - 11/05/2012 - 4:36 pm

    I made these pretzel bites, the first time they were perfect and awesome, so delicious!!!! Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, they are not working. What happened? They turn out doughy (almost like snot) in the middle and don’t plump back in the oven. I am lost, not sure what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions? I don’t add salt to the water, I grease my cookie sheets for them to raise, I let them double in size, bake at the normal temp and for the recommended time.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 11/05/2012 - 7:08 pm

      Hi Jill,

      The only thing I can think of is that you left them in the water a bit too long.
      Make sure that they raise double in size as well, before the water bath.

    Do you think the rhodes bread dough would work the same as the rolls?ReplyCancel

  • Kim - 11/17/2012 - 5:22 pm

    I am making these tonight and I have waited 45 minutes and the dough does not look double in size to me??!!ReplyCancel

  • Jen - 11/21/2012 - 5:04 pm

    Just made these for an appetizer for Thanksgiving. I hope they last overnight. I just saw your comment that they are better served the same day as baked. I agree with another commenter who said they turned out much larger than I expected. When you called these “bites” I expected something bite-sized. These are at least 2-3 bites in size. More like mini-rolls. They turned out fantastic (both parmesan and cinnamon-sugar). Luckily, they are also SUPER easy so if they don’t taste as great tomorrow morning, I will whip up another batch. 🙂
    THANKS for sharing your wonderful recipes.ReplyCancel

  • Tracy - 12/22/2012 - 8:56 pm

    I made these a few months ago and they were great! I want to make them for a party so I need to do as much prep as i can…is it better to make them fully and reheat or can I boil than then cook a few hours later?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 12/23/2012 - 1:37 pm

      Hi Tracy,

      These pretzel bites are best eaten the day you make them. They can be re-heated, but just won’t have the same punch!
      You also need to bake right after boiling them or they will wrinkle up.

  • Jenn - 01/05/2013 - 11:39 pm

    I thought the whole point of making pretzels was the baking soda in the water. Did I mess that in your recipe?ReplyCancel

  • Jo - 01/09/2013 - 5:34 pm

    Hi, I’m a little confused. I don’t have frozen bread dough where I am, so I looked up your pretzel dough recipe. With this one, you have to let it double in size but that one you don’t? And what if I make them with pizza dough.. Would I have let that double in size first? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. (sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m not much of a baker)ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 01/10/2013 - 5:40 pm

      Hi Jo,

      With the frozen (Rhodes roll dough – found in the freezer section of our grocery stores) you just thaw it-shape it- and let the balls of dough double in size.
      With homemade pretzel dough, you let the dough rise until double, then shape into pretzels and rise again until double in size.
      I hope this makes sense…if you’re still confused, email me.

    I’m making these a little ahead of time, for a get together tonight. What is the longest they can rise and turn out right? i don’t want to make them too early but i don’t want them to rise too long either.ReplyCancel

  • Melanie - 01/20/2013 - 3:10 pm

    So I couldn’t find the Rhodes brand, plus I like to make things from scratch, so I incorporated your recipe with the recipe from http://leecooks.blogspot.com/2012/02/homemade-pretzels.html?m=1
    They turned out amazing! I made 1/3 plain (salt only), 1/3 garlic butter with Parmesan (my husband’s favorite), and 1/3 butter with cinnamon sugar (my favorite). I made about half of the dough in little bite-size balls and half I rolled into 5 inch sticks. Both work well, but I like the balls a little better. Thanks for your recipe!ReplyCancel

    I’m sure like all the rest of your fans they are saying, wow these look awesome! I’m making them for Super Bowl weekend with the boys! CheersReplyCancel

  • Nanci - 02/03/2013 - 2:49 pm

    I just made both the parmesan and the cinnamon sugar varieties. Oh my word…I cannot decide which is yummier! I used the Rhodes rolls regular size, since they didn’t have the Texas size. I just cut them in half instead of fourths and it worked fine. I did have to bake them almost 25 minutes at 375 degrees to get them to brown. They are delish and now I’m ready for the Super Bowl. Thanks for posting!ReplyCancel

  • Jackie Kraftchick - 02/22/2013 - 11:37 am

    The pretzel bites looks so good – I want to make a batch to take to my buddies at our scrapbooking crop tomorrow. I could only find the Rhodes dinner rolls not the Texas size. Should i just cut them in half? HELP!

    I should have read the comments first – I found the answer – thanks for sharing this.

  • Alishia - 06/08/2013 - 10:07 am

    Add to the water 1T salt and 4T baking soda! This gives them the dark brown pretzel like crust. I’ve been doing this for a while and they come out much more pretzel like.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 06/08/2013 - 8:35 pm

      Hi Alishia,

      I often do this as well. When I did this post for Rhodes Rolls, I needed to follow their original. This does help give the top a beautiful golden color and a saltier taste!

    Seventeen photos for a recipe that begins with frozen dough? You don’t think this might be a tad excessive?

    At some point adding photos — even pretty photos with pretty font — ceases to be a benefit to your readership. In fact, by illustrating all the steps and showcasing the alternative toppings you are confusing your audience. If you haven’t the language skills to explain how to layer a paper towel on top of a cloth towel, then you shouldn’t have a blog. If your readership is unaware of the difference between parmesan cheese and cinnamon, they are addle-minded and shouldn’t be left alone in the kitchen.

    Hi Mari Lyn,

    You must have a lot of time on your hands!

      Mari Lyn, that was just down right mean. YOU are the one who should just skip this blog and move on. I really appreciate the step by step illustrations and being able to read through the comments to find answers to my questions. And by the way, I am a really good cook! Thanks Jonna!ReplyCancel

  • Melissa - 12/12/2013 - 2:40 pm

    These were so wonderful! I really enjoyed the step by step pictures because it helped illustrate the process and I could then compare my food to (what it should look like)yours. These turned out amazing! I am bringing them to two parties and can’t wait! I love your blog! Keep doing what you are doing! Haters gonna hate.ReplyCancel

    Yum! I would gladly trade the remote for one of those. I better not make them though, because I am not sure i could stop at just one!!! I love all the cute comments on the pictures.
