Product Review: Snyder's of Hanover Pretzels

[runpunkrun]

Snyder's GF pretzels come in several shapes. I've tried both the mini pretzels and the pretzel sticks, but I prefer the sticks for structural and texture reasons. Both taste exactly as you'd expect from a bagged pretzel, right down to the slightly fishy aftertaste commercial pretzels sometimes have. I don't remember if the intensely starchy mouthfeel is also authentic to wheat-based pretzels, but they have that too.

If you want a crunchy, salty pretzel you can probably find in your nearest natural food store, these will do, and an opened bag stays fresh for weeks, so you don't have to snarf them all down in a matter of days unless you want to.

Current Ingredients: corn starch, potato starch, tapioca starch, palm oil, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dextrose, salt, sunflower lecithin, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, monocalcium phosphate), yeast, citric acid, soda.

Hmmmm why don't I have a chocolate icon?

A vegan chocolate frosting could make a great dip?

That's a very interesting idea! This Date-Sweetened Chocolate Frosting would work nicely, and might even cut the starch of the pretzel.
