Product: Glutino Chocolate Covered Preztels – $5.99+
For anyone who knows me…I mean really, really, really, knows me…you’ll know that my favorite treat of all time is chocolate covered pretzels. Guess what? I hadn’t had chocolate covered pretzels since I had to go gluten-free back in February.
But then, today, while out at the grocery store, my roommate snagged a bag of Glutino Chocolate Covered Pretzels as a gift for me. I normally wait until I get home to try gluten-free goodies like this because I have to take pictures for the blog, but I figured I could still do pictures and rip into the bag while we drove home.
Yeah…I was craving that bad!
Yeah…they are as amazing as they sound. Here’s the deal. Salty and sweet is the perfect combination, which is why chocolate covered pretzels have been my favorite snack to binge on for years. Glutino seems to have the only gluten-free variety in existence on the market. These were on sale, but I usually stare longingly at them and then pass they up because the small 5.5 oz bag is so damn expensive. But, at least now I know the product is worth it in the end.
This is the danger of finding something I love so much. Already a fan of Glutino’s pretzel twists, these are coated in delicious milk chocolate. If that isn’t a tasty win, nothing else is my friends. But…I warn you…once you start eating these, you won’t want to stop. If chocolate is a weakness of yours as it is for me, then pour it over pretzels and I’m a lost cause. The bag will need to be hidden from sight or I might just eat them all in one sitting. It has happened before…more than once…with other products.
These pretzels have a gentle crunch, meaning they aren’t almost stale like a lit of pre-packaged chocolate covered pretzels sometimes seem. They have a light crunch and the sweet layer of chocolate melts away as you chew. It’s heaven in pretzel form. Honestly. I can now die happy because it’s almost been a year since I’ve indulged in my favorite snack…and here I am in my little Corolla stuffing my face with them because…it obviously had been too long.
Are they worth the cost? Hell yeah! I wouldn’t buy them every time I went to the store, simply for the sake of maintianing my waistline, but every now and again to treat myself to one of the greatest inventions on Earth (that would be chocolate covered pretzels…genius!)…yeah, that will happen. These amazing morsels of goodness are worth treating yourself to every now and again. Just because I have to eat gluten-free doesn’t mean I have to make everything from scratch for it to be good (although I do have Glutino pretzel twists and Ghirardelli dark chocolate, so this may happen regardless). Sometimes, a company knows what people need (and want) in life…and offer a sweet and salty solution.
Thank you, Glutino…for feeding my snack-loving side with such amazing treats. Keep it up. You’re swiftly becoming one of my go-to gluten-free brands.
For now…another handful of chocolate covered pretzels won’t hurt, right?
