The pieces are packaged in a small and modest-looking foil wrapper. It is nice and homey with a rustic feel – the only boast being the pieces “bursting with intense flavor”, the flavors in question being honey mustard and onion.

Honey mustard and onion – the thought of these two ingredients combined conjures the image of a beautiful symphony of tastes. Caramelized savoriness of toasted onions uniting with the bittersweet seduction of honey and mustard. Now imagine crunchy chunks of pretzel drenched in these wonderful flavours.

Despite looking like they have been soaked in oil, the sourdough hard pretzel pieces retain a delightfully dry crunch. Bursting with intense flavor, you say? Indeed. Every bite is so full of concentrated tastiness, my taste buds are dancing, jumping and rejoicing with delicious, delicious (yes, twice) joy. Breaking up the pretzel into small pieces is a genius move as it allows the fantastic flavouring to penetrate over a greater surface area.

Granted at $3.95 per pack this isn’t the cheapest snack on the aisle, but oh the crunchy deliciousness of these pretzel pieces more than makes up for it.

Are these healthy? At 140 Calories a serving, one could do worse. But who cares about calories? The flavours! Bursting with flavours! Can you tell how much I love these thing?
