That's funny! I love peanut butter, and I like pretzels. I have tried the peanut butter filled pretzels and I don't care for them at all. Normally I can't resist peanut butter anything but the pretzels are safe from me. I was so happy to find a food I could resist.

They are very popular so I am clearly in my own world with that.

I agree with salon; i think they do a disservice to both ingredients. But then I am very picky (choosy?) about my PB. Not Jif.

I have tried them several times. No flavor and the peanut butter had no flavor nor did the pretzel. Shows how bad they are neither the raccoons or squirrels would eat them when I finally tossed them outside.

I like the Trader Joe’s ones for a hiking snack; they hit the spot. That said, I can easily resist them when they are just sitting in my cupboard, like they are right now.

I was just going to mention the Trader Joe's peanut butter pretzels as well. They are consistently rated as one of their most popular items. But since that's the only brand I've ever tried, can't say how well they rate with others. They are pretty darn good!

You have to be REALLY hungry to eat those. 😂

What possessed me?

This:

display of little peanut butter filled pretzel bites

Advertisers spend bow coops of money finding out exactly how to market and display, so that the eensiest teensiest crack in your shopping armor will allow the bag of pretzel bites to fly into your shopping cart. You are not to blame. It is hard enough sometimes to resist mouthwatering pictures on an item two feet from you on a shelf, but if there is actually a display, a certain number of shoppers are doomed and acquire new pretzel bites.

I only had them once, a guy brought them fishing last summer. Had a hard time not eating the whole tub. i don't remember the brand; it wasn't one I had heard of. I've subsequently seen them all over, various brands, but have chosen to control my lack of self control and not bought any.

It's because today is National Peanut Butter Day, that's why.

What were you even doing in that aisle?

Most of us are guilty of impulse buying.

i remember those from way back, probably a different manufacturer. i loved them. Ive seen them in the store and have resisted them so far. I love the taste of pretzels and coffee ice cream.

Now that you have them, you may as well enjoy them,

My DH loves the Trader Joes Peanut butter filled pretzels. I have had a few of them and I thought they were quite tasty, no dry peanut butter.

I like those but haven't bought them in years because I can't leave them alone. I have told myself I'll just eat a few a day, but that never works out.

Trader Joe's peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets have just been promoted to their product Hall of Fame.

Snack foods are so annoying! They're deliberately made to be addictive - and then you're filled with regret for eating too many.

I used to buy Combos - they made peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets and cheese filled ones as well. I preferred the cheese - so much so that I once ate an entire bag and got a terrible migraine headache - likely due to all the salt. I don't remember ever liking the peanut butter ones.

I'm sure the quality and flavor vary depending on manufacturer.

Now I sometimes make peanut butter dip with maple syrup and eat it with pretzel sticks - really good, IMO.

I don't typically eat peanut butter. Except on apple slices, bananas, and now I'm thinking of pretzels. Mmmm. Sounds great! Yes, you must have help. Send them here!!!

@carolb_w_fl_coastal_9b Haven’t had cheese filled combos in YEARS ! I loved them with that nugget of fake orange cheese inside 😉

I am reminded that when we first moved here, I found a warm sweet cream cheese stuffed soft pretzel at Wawa. Since then, I have actively avoided even looking at that warm case.

But there's a new Wawa right next to my doctor's lab, so the next time I have to have fasting blood work, maybe I'll do that afterwards.

I have been tempted by the TJ's pretzels with peanut butter. It sounds good, but I live alone and figured if I could get a one serving size that would be enough, so I never have bought them. Tonight I went to Tj's for VEGGIES and found myself picking up a bag, because of this thread. 😬 I'm pretty impulsive about food treats, but I ended up putting them back on the shelf. One more thing I don't need to love and have to resist. (they also have Almond Butter Stuffed Pretzels).

Anyone else have a hard time resisting Dot's pretzels? OMG I cannot buy them because I will eat the whole bag in two days and my mouth gets so sore from the salt and the crisp.

I have that same problem with potato chips 😄

Every Monday when I go to Trader Joe's, I end up asking myself that. Too many new snacks and too little willpower.

When I was a child peanut butter filled pretzels were a favourite snack. Then as an adult I developed a sensitivity to peanuts, had a bad allergic reaction so I couldn't eat peanut products any longer, but I sure do miss peanut filled pretzel bites. I ordered a huge container of Kirkland Peanut filled pretzel bites on Amazon and had them shipped to my best friend's house for Christmas. She was so surprised that she had never had them before and she and her husband really enjoyed them.

Sushi, i went to Acme this afternoon and right where you walk in the door was a display of pretzels stuffed with peanut butter. i smiled and walked on by.

I can walk by peanut butter anything although I don't hate it. But... those potato chips. I'm an addict. The only way not to eat them is not to buy them.

YUMMY

You might have cruised on by if you'd heard the report I heard yesterday about tests on many brands of peanut butter. The percentages of insect parts and other nasties was only surpassed by the percentages found in jelly. Ewwww!

One of DH's friends worked summers at a canning plant to help with college expenses. You'd never eat creamed corn again after hearing about the swarms of flies that got processed along with the product.

sushi -- I hope your test scores are only *improving*!

@chisue, laughing my head off. What a great post!

I was going to add that I have this thing about Hersheys Candy Cane kisses. You can buy what are probably 5 year old reject bags on the A store. Now I can picture bug parts in the little cones and maybe resist.

Things like this seem to happen often when you go grocery shopping while stoned and have the munchies. ;-p

Anyone else have a hard time resisting Dot's pretzels?

Yes, I love Dot's but limit myself to only buying them when traveling to the lake cabin. We often stop at Osceola Cheese Factory on the way down to buy cheese, jerky, and other snacks for the weekend and I seem to always leave with a bag of Dot's and a bag of fresh cheese curds. They go well together....the cheese curds put out the heat from the pretzels!

just went to TJ's and walked on by... :)

I buy them once in a while, I like them.
