"Crispy, salty pretzels dipped in smooth candy coating are the kind of sweet snack that's fun, festive, addictive and entirely shareable. Simple dipped pretzels have been an American favorite for more than a century, but more recently, confectioners have kicked the idea up a few notches, bringing a host of creative new flavors to store shelves. That said, it is important to know that dipped pretzels are not available everywhere."
"Top grocers may stock none. But snack hot spots such as CVS or liquor stores may have entire racks devoted to the category. That said, the undisputed top player is Trader Joe's - the stores stock no less than nine different varieties. Good dipped pretzels start with a super fresh, crispy pretzel and great quality coatings. Tweaks, twists and additions can vary, but the the combination must result in a perfect balance of rich flavors and pleasing textures."
Dipped pretzels offer a sweet-and-salty snack experience by coating crisp, salty pretzels in smooth candy coatings. The category mixes classic, century-old simplicity with modern flavor innovations from confectioners. Availability varies widely: some major grocers carry few or none, while CVS, liquor stores and specialty shops often stock many options; Trader Joe's carries multiple varieties. Quality depends on fresh pretzels and high-quality coatings to achieve balanced flavors and pleasing textures. Poor products are stale, overly sweet or made with cheap ingredients. Nutrition for a serving just under an ounce generally ranges near 130–135 calories with varying fat, sodium, sugar and protein.
