KP Snacks Penn State Pretzels Sour Cream & Chive

I wandered in to speak to Tech taste tester while he was eating his lunch and found he was feasting, all on his own, on a packet of sour cream & chive mini pretzels.

I don't usually buy pretzel-style crispy snacks.... although I don't really know why not. And in this case what a mistake. Because this is a lovely tasty snack; lots of sour cream & chive flavour dust chucked over a pile of crispy little pretzels. 

I only had the one, because this was part of Tech taste tester's lunch, but I was quite impressed.

My only real issue is that all the flavour dust gets eaten first however hard you try, and then there's nothing but a small biscuitty twirl or shards of same; depending how hard you've crunched.

A fine crunch at lunch and perhaps something to try again in the New Year (which as I write has not yet arrived).

I see the reluctant taste testers and I tried the Original Sea Salt version of this crispy snack back in January 2016. I also see we quite enjoyed it.

KP Snacks Penn State Pretzels Original Sea Salted

Tasty little pretzel knots strewn with sea salt. Nothing fancy, nothing exciting, just tasty little pretzels.

The Senior taste tester doesn't approve much of pretzels (and of course they do not qualify as a crisp) but the other taste testers managed to eat a couple of bowlsful without any difficulty. Could it be something to do with leftover dip from yesterday? Or could it be that these little pretzels are pretty good?

The interesting thing about these pretzels is that they are marketed as Classic American Snacks. Which they aren't. Dear me, no. These pretzels come from Ashby-de-la-Zouche in Leicestershire not Penn State at all.

Fewer food miles to be concerned about anyway.
