Unique PretzelsSplits, 11 Oz

Accurate title, very important in a pretzel. It’s very rigid/crunchy and the well done ones seem to have a few reviews saying they taste overly burnt, these tasted well done as is so I won’t be trying the others. This becomes the new go to pretzel.

If you or someone you love enjoys chocolate covered pretzels, then you might be perusing these reviews as I did to determine whether they are suited for making them. Look no further!These are perfect for chocolate covered pretzels because:- Size: Larger than most snacking pretzels, so easier to cover with chocolate.- Texture: “Split” texture allows for chocolate to adhere better to the surface- Taste: Dry and salty - provides a good juxtaposition to chocolateI was able to cover almost an entire bag of these pretzels with a 10oz. bag of chocolate chips.1. I melted the chocolate via the double boiler method.2. I placed pretzels in the melted chocolate one at a time, using stainless steel chopsticks to maneuver them and scrape off excess chocolate.3. I placed the chocolate covered pretzels on a silicone baking mat (parchment paper or aluminum foil would also do).4. Refrigerated pretzels on mat to help chocolate harden.Why make your own?- Store bought chocolate covered pretzels are about $1/oz. The 365 chocolate covered pretzels are $3.99/5oz. = $0.80/oz.- If you make your own, these pretzels are $2.96/11oz. and 365 milk chocolate chips are $3.69/10oz. In total, $6.65/21oz. = $0.32/oz. That’s 60% less than if you purchased chocolate covered pretzels from WF, roughly 78% less than if purchased from other grocers or confectioners

Nice crunch and great flavor. Best store sold pretzels.

I love these pretzels. They are really crunchy but don't break your teeth, they are salty but not too salty. I love how they are handmade, I even can see finger prints baked into the dough... they are really high quality.

Best pretzels ever. The texture, amount of salt. So satisfying.

I purchased these once they came out in the store, in the dark version because I generally loved darker pretzels and chips. I was not impressed as they were TOO dark. It made them bitter rather than more flavorful. I looked for the regular version in the store but they were always sold out so when I saw them online I threw two in the cart. I liked them better than the dark ones. Warning: they are very hard . Good teeth, much care needed eating them. One of my favorite low calorie treats is a hard pretzel or two dunked in flavored seltzer (orange is good) or a diet root beer. Had nothing for dunking but did managed to out away the two bags within a week or so. They are good, just the right amount of salt and not terribly pricey. Will purchase again but make sure I have something carbonated.

My grandmother used to buy these in bulk in giant clear bags from the factory, once upon a time. They were considered "seconds" (she said) but got the name "specials" probably because locals loved them (?). This is my memory, at least. I loved them then and I love them now, all gussied up in their own fancy bags distributed far away from PA. There's also a sour dough whole grain variety shaped liked chunky rings (exquisite).

My favorite pretzels. I had a hard time finding them in my local store… I’m hooked on these, so crunchy!
