LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Auntie Anne's^® is keeping its 30th birthday celebration going with a gift for its fans – Birthday Cake Pretzel Nuggets. Starting today, the festive new flavor will be available for a limited time, meaning fans can have their Birthday Cake Pretzel Nuggets…and eat them too.

Earlier this year, Auntie Anne's Pretzel Nation Creation empowered pretzel lovers to select a new birthday-inspired flavor in honor of the brand's 30^th birthday. An initial request for flavors on social media generated more than 650 suggestions. Fans voted for the ten finalists at PretzelNationCreation.com from June 19 – 25.

"We've been celebrating our birthday milestone with ours fans all year," said Marcel Nahm, Auntie Anne's Vice President of Marketing. "We hosted a Free Pretzel Party at all of our stores nationwide after more than 1 million guests RSVP'd, launched the stylish "For the Love of Pretzels" clothing and accessories collection, and then called on our fans to choose a new birthday-inspired pretzel flavor. Birthday Cake Pretzel Nuggets are the perfect culmination to this celebration, our tasty gift to pretzel lovers everywhere."

The bite-size Birthday Cake Pretzel Nuggets are dusted with vanilla, drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with fun confetti sprinkles. Whether for a birthday celebration or just a special treat, these nuggets are a snack that anyone with a sweet tooth can enjoy.
