Pretzel Crisps

Pretzel Crisps – Rethink your pretzel!

Pretzel Crisps are thin and crunchy like potato chips but have half the calories and none of the fat!

*These are not gluten free.

 

It was an exciting day when our Pretzel Crisps arrived! We were able to try out their Deli Style Flavors (Original, Garlic Parmesan, Buffalo Wing, Everything, Sesame, Jalapeno Jack, and Chipotle Cheddar).  My husband’s favorites were the Chipotle Cheddar and the Garlic Parmesan.

The Chipotle  flavor had a spicy kick from Chipotle, combined with a sharp cheddar.  The Garlic Parmesan are a zingy twist on an old favorite, with great gourmet taste from naturally wholesome ingredients. The best part of the pretzel – that satisfying flavor and crunch – is crispy thin and baked with a light, savory garlic flavor for big flavor in a light, crispy snack.

He enjoyed all of the flavors by themselves and in hummus.  I like that they are much healthier for him!

The munchkins also enjoyed them.  They’re favorite was the original and they liked that it was more of a “chip” style rather than the same old pretzel sticks.

We’ve already purchased more!
