Pretzel Crisps: Mom Energy

I've got a salt tooth. Sweets? Nope don't crave them. Salty, crunchy pretzels? Count me in! I've been snacking on a new item called Pretzel Crisps. All the crunchiness and flavor but a little lighter. What a great way to celebrate National Pretzel Month (October!).

Pretzels Crisps contain 110 calories per serving and no fat (10-11 crisps) compared with 150 calories and 10 gram of fat (1 g saturated) per one ounce serving for potato chips. Pretzels Crisps does not contain trans or saturated fats and have only 21-23 grams of carbohydrate per serving (1 ½ carbohydrate exchanges).

With a dozen varieties to pick from, we like the Everything (just like the bagel) best. While we like them plain, we've also used them with dips, and they are great as a small bite. To get inspired, check out this page of pretzel pairing suggestions. Our favorite is the Cruise Ship: Cream cheese, Cooked shrimp, tails off, Fresh dill, Green Onion, Capers and Celery. We love all the terrific ideas for entertaining.
