Clancy's Holiday Spectacular -- Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Here's one of the things I like about ALDI. They stock up for every single holiday imaginable and then, like a week after, they slash the already cheap prices. So since it was two weeks after Christmas, you know it was with a pretty huge amount of joy in my heart that I purchased today's item. Don't put away that garland just yet, it's time for Clancy's Pretzels - Milk Chocolate Caramel with White Chocolate Drizzle.

Clancy Got Festive!

Our ALDI has a section with the weekly oddities like walkers, gas powered generators, elliptical machines, etc. and then one aisle over it has the Island of Misfit Items. Things that aren't normally stocked and didn't sell in the week or two after they were in the weekly flyer end up shipwrecked here. This is where the sweet spot is for super cheap stuff and that's exactly where I found these. To be honest, I have no idea how much these were. They were the only box I saw and I didn't see a price tag - sidebar - doesn't ALDI have the best price labels? Everything (almost) is always sitting underneath a bright yellow price card that's hung above it - nice job ALDI!

There were six dipped pretzel rods in the box, 90 calories per serving which is a ridiculous 1/2 a pretzel. Come on ALDI, I'm suppose to save half of it for later? Well, while we're at it why don't I just feed that left over half to a unicorn?

 

 You could eat this whole thing in one sitting.

These pretzels were pretty disappointing. They took a bunch of things I like - caramel, chocolate, pretzels, a bargain - and combined them into to something not really that good. The pretzel seemed stale and it wasn't helped by the chewy caramel it was wrapped in. It wasn't terrible, but I expected better.

I'm giving these Clancy's Pretzels - Milk Chocolate Caramel with White Chocolate Drizzle Pretzels a D. They weren't awful but they were disappointing.
