I am trying to come up with a cupcake based on the Hershey's Take 5 candybar. So far I have a chocolate cupcake, peanut butter filling, caramel buttercream and peanuts on top. I need to work in a pretzel somehow. I was thinking of putting a mini pretzel in the bottom of the cupcake before filling.
Has anyone ever baked pretzels into a cake? Do they remain crunchy? Or do they get soft and mushy?
Thanks!
No idea, but if I had to guess.. I'd say it'd get soft and not stay crunchy. I think putting one ontop would work though.. at least some of it would stay crunchy. But it's true.. there's only one way to find out! 
Thanks for the quick replies! I was just going to stick one on top as a backup plan, but thought that if it were baked into the cake it would be a nice surprise when you bite into it. I like the idea of a chocolate dipped pretzel rolled in peanuts! I may go with that idea if I have enough time.
I will experiment with baking a pretzel into a couple of the cupcakes and let you guys know the results.
maybe Did you try??? How did it turn out? I love this idea. My husband and I love Take 5s. If you still haven't tried it you could put the pretzel on top of the cooked cupcake but under the frosting so it is still kind of hidden. I will have to make this idea into a cake for DH's birthday.
Thanks for the idea.
I really would like to know too. How did it work?

what if you chopped up some pretzels and put them on top with the peanuts??
This sounds so good!
