Brentwood Appliances TS-251 1000W Non-Stick Mini Pretzel Maker Machine, Green

The pretzel maker is a gift to my daughter who loves the pretzels in movie theaters. I was disappointed for two reasons – there are no 'recipes' for the actual pretzels, just for the dip. Also, I later located the same pretzel maker in Kohls and Walmart for $5 less and of course no shipping costs. I searched online for actual recipes and instructions and printed some out for my daughter to use, but I was disappointed that all it said in the packaging was to use 'your favorite pancake recipe' or something like that. The machine also didn't have the same number of impressions to put the pretzel dough in as was advertised.
