Fitness Romance SagaTasting! Rold Gold Chocolate Covered Pretzels
November 8th, 2010 • 21 Comments | Leave a Comment »
This is diet food, people. Or shall I say – food for the healthy-living? So try not to backlash this nutritional diagnosis, because I’m a professional diagnoser. And I know stuff.
Rold Gold Chocolate Covered Classic Dipper Pretzels are the perfect treat for smashin’.
…as in, smashin’ a sweet craving to keep your waistline from birthing extra fat cells. The bag contains 42 miniature pretzels, total. If you pop just two or three – you’re good, and that bastard of a craving will be bottle-whipped and head-flipped so you can go about your business of healthy living.
This is what gives it nutritional integrity. A small dose is good ‘n satisfying. But don’t eat them right out the bag, because I refuse to be responsible for greedy jaws.
They’re NOT cheaply made. The pretzel isn’t stale and the chocolate is great quality. Rold Gold Choco’s are comparable to the sweet & salty goodness I get at that quaint little chocolate shop I visit sometimes…(oh wait, I wasn’t supposed to tell you that part).
Warning! Do NOT eat these with extra mouths hanging around. The pretzels will be gone real fast and then you will be pissed off.

Gahhh, I need to have these. Remember Flipz? Those were the best, these seem healthierish though.

I’m so glad you tried these! I’ve been staring at these in grocery stores and been considering buying them for a few weeks now! I couldn’t decide if they’d be worth the calories or if my taste buds would be insulted (and then eat the whole thing anyways) so excited now!

you’re gonna loves! Just be careful to take only two or three at a time and hide the rest from yourself. Otherwise my nutritionally-endorsed diagnonsis will be a fart.. er, I mean, a farce.

Sweet! I am all about eating just a little portion to curb a craving – these are perfect. They would definitely needed to be hidden. Especially when the ONE comes home from school for the holidays.

Love the Dark Dipped Choc. Twists. Keep up the good work. How about a larger bag?

These are REALLY good. Although I sometimes find the contrast between the sweetness and saltiness a bit disturbing.
If you’re interested, there is also a review of Rold Gold Pretzels Classic Style Thins available on Munchies Blog. Though they are not sweet, I find that the bag is empty (no matter how big it is) before you know it.
