Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove the puffed biscuit bites from the baking soda bath and transfer them to your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all the remaining biscuit pieces.

There you have it, my Soft Pretzel Bites.
Notes
1) An alternative to the soft pretzel bites is the harder-style pretzel bites. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are darker in color and have a much crunchier texture. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
