This Cheese Dip for Pretzels is rich, creamy, and full of cheesy goodness. It’s the ideal dip to complement the soft, salty bite of freshly baked pretzels.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for a creamier texture)
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for extra creaminess)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder (optional, for tanginess)
Salt and black pepper to taste
A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)
