For a deeper flavor, try using a dark beer instead of water for boiling the pretzels. Experiment with different types of bratwurst, such as cheddar-filled or spicy Italian. Brush the pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt immediately after baking for an extra touch of indulgence. Make sure to tightly seal the dough around the bratwurst to prevent them from unraveling during boiling.
