Review: choxie peanut butter pretzel bar - yum

choxie peanut butter pretzel bar
What do I want from a nearly $2 chocolate bar? I'm done with that sticky raspberry filling from Lindt bars, or the rather mundane truffle filling in a European Milka bar or those little chocolate bar packs from Trader Joe's. I want something that combines smooth and creamy with crunch, and a little salt or spice for interest.

Choxie's peanut butter pretzel bar filled all my criteria. I picked one of these up when I was absolutely starved, at the end of a very long Target trip where I'd spent too much money and carried my 20-some-pound baby around far too long. As I stood in the checkout stand watching the money melt away, with five minutes to spare before the doors got locked down, I saw this bar and couldn't resist.

I ripped it open as soon as I got into the car and took a bite. The chocolate was very light and milky, the creamy peanut butter filling was absolutely perfect - just sweet enough, just salty enough, amazingly smooth. The pretzels bits provided just what I was looking for, that nice crunch that says I'm a substantial piece of confectionery.

The next day, when I ate the other half (to make sure I didn't just love it 'cause I was so hungry), I still loved it. My only constructive criticism: not enough pretzel bits. I needed a bit more crunch and salt to really get my addiction into motion.
