Auntie Anne's adds new menu item to all locations

Auntie Anne's has added a new menu item to all of its locations — and it's going to heat things up.

The pretzel chain is now offering the Sriracha Pretzel and Pretzel Nuggets for a limited time at locations nationwide. Auntie Anne’s gave customers the opportunity to vote for the new pretzel flavor, and more than 1.3 million people voted in the Pretzel Nation Creation.

Sriracha won the competition, beating out other flavors like S’mores, Korean BBQ, Pink Lemonade, Dill Pickle and Maple Brown Sugar. The chain is also offering Pumpkin Spice Pretzels and Nuggets for a limited time.

There are more than 1,700 Auntie Anne’s locations in 48 states and more than 25 counties.
