Peanut butter and pretzels are a good combination. The crisp dry crunch of the pretzel is perfect for cutting through the creamy, sticky texture of the nut butter, and the fact that the whole combination is a bit salty makes the pair dangerously addictive. Synder's of Hanover is introducing a new product that is going to make the temptation that much stronger: Chocolate Fudge Coated Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches.
The bite-sized sandwiches are about the size of mini Ritz crackers, so in each bite you'll have rich chocolate, crunchy pretzel and creamy peanut butter. Synder's actually suggests serving these with ice cream for a "fancy dessert dish" - and though that doesn't sound like the epitome of gourmet presentation, they would make a fantastic "mix-in" when crushed up with vanilla ice cream.
According to their website, Snyder's will only be selling these snacks from October through December of this year. After that, you'll have to get a bag of their plain, but tasty, peanut butter pretzel sandwiches and chocolate dip them yourself.
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

I have inlaws who have always crushed pretzels as a topping for ice cream. I love the sweet and salty effect myself. So with this, you're telling me I've now got the option of a "peanut butter cup" taste, with salty pretzels as well? Oh dear. This will be very hard for me to pass up.

This reminds me of Ben & Jerry's "Chubby Hubby" ice cream: peanut-butter filled, chocolate coated pretzel nuggets in vanilla malt ice cream...

I'm not much of a fan of pretzels on their own, but I do love them when they have some kind of sweet embellishment. For example, the dark chocolate covered pretzels from Trader Joe's. I'd kill my mother for a bag of them if I had to.

Oh man, I had some peanut butter filled pretzels dipped in chocolate from Trader Joes a few weeks ago...man those were good. I love sweets but even those I could only eat a couple of. The fact that snyders makes then is even better- their pretzels are so good! Has anyone else tried these? Is the chocolate any good on them?
