Pretzel Twists with Jalapeño Cheddar Dip

"I have a very strong love and affinity for bread (and butter, and brie) in the form of pizza, pastry, whatever. All the bad things that taste so delicious. Now, when you take dough, slap some butter and salt on it and bake it til it’s golden brown, chewy and irresistible, you’ve made a fan of me. Pretzel twists make it easier to snack on them without eating everything…at once. I also decided to add a nice cheese sauce to go with my pretzels. But because I experiment far too much and I need spiciness all the time, I decided to add some chopped fresh jalapeños and smoked paprika in the mix."
