The golden nugget of chocolate covered pretzels
Snagged me some new Snyder Hersheys Dipped Pretzel Nuggets the other day. Figured they couldn’t really taste any different than the standard chocolate dipped mini pretzels. Wow, was I wrong. These are like the best thing I’ve tried since the “Hersheys Bites” series, which seemed to use a higher quality, ‘polished’ chocolate for its formula to make it extra delicious. That seems to be the case with these new nuggets, which sparkle like a diamond when you hold them up to a light. Chocolate is a Dan’s best friend. The chocolate is phenomenal, so I refuse to believe that they are using average Hersheys chocolate, the worst tasting chocolate on the market that’s only a step above those horrible Palmer brand holiday chocolates you can get at any dollar store.
These new chocolate dipped nuggets are not even in the same league as the standard Snyder Hersheys Chocolate Dipped Mini Pretzels. Which makes me thing the company may be using a better quality chocolate just on the initial presentation of the new product. I wouldn’t be surprised if, in a year’s time, the nuggets taste just as boring as the mini pretzels. Has anyone else ever noticed how new food products seem to taste amazing when they first appear, but eventually seem to lose their unique flavor? Is it just because we become too familiar with them, or are we truly being hooked with higher quality ingredients that are later changed out for inferior ingredients? I know that Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms don’t give me the rush they once used to…
