One of my favorite Food Network shows is Good Eats, starring Alton Brown. He shows the science behind food through cute visual effects. This is so far, the best recipe for pretzels I've tried (I've tried 3). Boiling the pretzel in the baking soda + water mixture helps the dough brown a lot better than just an egg wash. I don't know why (haven't seen that episode yet).
These turned out exactly like the pretzels you would get from Auntie Anne's- doughy, chewy goodness. I used sea salt instead of pretzel salt and I sprinkled some cheese on a few of them. Be careful storing them, condensation will make the salt dissolve.
