What is the Sonic Sweet Pretzel Twist?
Sonic’s convoluted menu has a new snack for those two dudes to ramble on about – the Sweet Pretzel Twist.
How is it?
Let me preface this review by stating that soft pretzels are easily one of my favorite foods in the world. I may very well be overrating Sonic’s new Sweet Pretzel Twist. That being said, this twist is pretty amazing.
The texture is spot on. It’s right where you’d want a soft pretzel to be. The outside is buttery with a mild crisp that makes way for a soft, warm doughy interior.
It’s not BLASTED with cinnamon sugar like you’d think. It’s definitely less sandy than a cinnamon pretzel from Auntie Anne’s, but it’s just about as buttery, which makes for a delicious sweet and salty merger. Don’t worry though, it’s still sweet and you still get plenty of cinnamon, it’s just not complete overkill.
It’s also a perfect size. While it goes down in five bites max, it’s satisfying and you won’t feel like you just ate a lead doughball.
Is there anything else you need to know?
The pretzel comes with Cinnabon cream cheese frosting. It’s good, but I found it to be unnecessary. Save the icing cup for something else and just enjoy the pretzel on its own.
Oh, and honestly, it kinda looks like Mr. Hanky. So, there’s that.
Conclusion:
If I were a God*, my ambrosia would be soft pretzels. Yeah, I may aim low, but I adore them. I consider them to be in the ballpark of pizza, where even the worst, not-so-soft pretzel is still satisfying. For me to rate these this high, they must be good. Right?
This is going to become a staple in my diet. While I’ll probably go for the regular pretzel most of the time, the Sonic Sweet Pretzel Twist is stellar, and well worth stopping for.
*Still waiting for my 23andMe results.

At least it a bonus for you to save that icing to spread on toasts or anything else. Enjoy that twist and then save that icing for later.
The icing costs extra and the one that I got had been salted before they put on the cinnamon and sugar. Disgusting. And they didn’t tell me the frosting costs extra until I was ready to pay.
