Launched in November 2010, the product appeals to holiday gift givers because of the worldwide recognition of the Auntie Anne’s brand, the general consumer appeal of the kit due to a rise in home baking, and the affordable suggested retail price ranging from $3.99 to $7.99.
Auntie Anne’s At-Home Baking Kit contains step-by-step instructions and all of the key ingredients needed to prepare Auntie Anne’s signature pretzel dough.

Since the dough mix is so versatile, bakers aren’t limited to making only Auntie Anne’s familiar pretzel products. Auntie Anne’s Food Science experts created a host of additional breakfast, appetizer, entrée, side dish, and dessert recipes that can be made from the food gift, including cinnamon pull-apart bread, cheesy twists, deep dish pizza, stuffing, and bread pudding.
