Brace yourselves for a post full of oohing, aahhing and gushing over a product. I was sent a complimentary sample of Glutino Chocolate Covered Pretzels by Mambo Sprouts last week. It didn’t take Jon and I long to dig into this product.
Glutino just recently debuted Chocolate Covered & Yogurt Covered Pretzels. I found them available for purchase on glutenfreemall.com, but after paying the $5.99/bag price, the shipping is $12! I decided to bide my time and wait until they hit local stores. Mambo Sprouts surprised me and came to the rescue with a sample box of gluten-free foods, which just happened to include the chocolate covered pretzels. I used to eat yogurt & chocolate covered pretzels growing up, so this was such a nice treat.
I can’t even begin to describe how good these pretzels were! I even had family & friends sample them at our Mother’s Day function and they were a huge hit! There was no telling that these were gluten-free. The chocolate complimented the salty pretzel perfectly! Jon was a little irritated that we got into “his” pretzels. LOL! I did allow him to finish them off – that, my friends, is real love. You know, the kind of love a mother has for their child.
The only bad thing about these pretzels, aside from the price and there not being more in the bag, were that they were kind of melted together from shipping. This didn’t alter the taste one bit, or didn’t seem to.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the yogurt covered pretzels now. Perhaps $12 in shipping doesn’t seem so bad now. 
Have you tried the yogurt or chocolate covered pretzels? If so, where did you find them?
My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
Sounds like we had the same experience! Mine came melted too
But they were still good!!
Yeah, they aren't pretty, but they sure do taste good!
I wonder i fyou would do better melting some gluten free chocolate chips and buying the palin Glutino pretzels. That way the chocolate would be fresh. That way I can choose to make dark chocolate covered pretzels or milk chocolate covered pretzels.

I discovered these in the pretzel section of whole foods and I can't stop buying them!!!!!! They are soooooo good. I feel like Glutino products are either AMAZING or completely tasteless….so I'm so glad that they really win major points for this one!! Everyone should try these, but you may get addicted!!
I totally agree with you about Glutino – either fantastic or just not good! LOL!
I too have LOVED these chocolate covered pretzels and would clean the store shelves out of them on a regular basis. I was devastated to recently find out that Glutino has changed their recipe. The last bags I purchased looked exactly the same but had "fudge" printed on the front. They're terrible! Super sweet and tastes like cheap chocolate. I'm devastated since this was one of my guilty pleasures. I called the company to see what was up and they confirmed that they changed the recipe. They're using cheaper ingredients but still charging the big price tag. I expressed my disappointment to them. Thought I'd mention it here. If all the people who have loved their product and raved about it on line contact Glutino perhaps they'd consider bringing this product back.
