When you’re craving a quick, tasty snack, these German-imported pretzels hit the spot. For just under five bucks, you get six soft, chewy pretzels. Each one has eight grams of protein and brings a little Oktoberfest home. Dip them in cheese sauce, brush them with butter, or eat them plain. These pretzels practically beg to be paired with a cold beer.
Aldi’s upcoming German Week is packed with tasty finds, including schnitzel, soups, beers, and plenty more. If soft pretzels aren’t enough, you can also grab pretzel sticks for an easy grab-and-munch option. However you stock up, this year’s Aldi Oktoberfest drop is looking especially delicious.
Deutsche Küche Bavarian Soft Pretzels, $4.79 at Aldi
You’re going to want to stock up on this latest freezer find. For just under $5, you’ll get six pretzels—a steal at about 80 cents each. They’re a little different from the standard, doughy mall pretzels you’re used to. They’re made in Germany, shipped frozen, and bake in minutes with a crispy and chewy interior, and shiny and salty crust you usually only get from a beer hall.
Each box comes with a little packet of coarse salt so you can go light or heavy depending on your mood. Pop them in the oven at 350°F for just 5 minutes and you’ve got something that feels way more authentic than the price tag suggests. These pretzels are hearty enough to pair with a pint or split in half to slather with your favorite spread. Aldi’s take on this German classic makes it easy to bring Bavaria home without booking a flight.

Why Fans Are Clearing the Shelves
Aldi shoppers are obsessed. Scroll Reddit and you’ll see people clearing out entire freezer cases. As one shopper put it, “This explains why the person behind me in line yesterday had at least 15 boxes in her cart.” When an Aldi Find inspires that kind of devotion, you know it’s worth trying.
Fans also love to swap hacks. Some skip the oven and go for a microwave-plus-air-fryer combo. Just warm it quickly in the microwave, then crisp it at 350°F in the air fryer for a just-baked texture. Others brush the tops with butter to help the salt stick, or even make them sweet with cinnamon sugar. A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning is another fan favorite. However you dress them up, these Bavarian pretzels are the perfect seasonal snack, and for Aldi regulars, a must-have.
