Vibrant Flavors Pretzels - Review (and a giveaway)

National Pretzel day is on April 26th 2011

About Vibrant Flavors (from the website)

An Oregon company, whose mission is simple: to bring healthy, flavorful and exotic foods to you.
Vibrant Flavors is a dream come true. Literally. Donna Dockins created original recipes and healthy meals for her clients in a private chef and catering business. She often thought about how to bring these delicious recipes to the world. When a friend from New Zealand introduced her to dukkah, the dream became reality. Dukkah, a blend of nuts, seeds and spices, is a traditional food from Ancient Egypt. Eaten as a snack or part of a light meal, dukkah is known for its complex flavors, crunchy texture and nutritious attributes.
After realizing that dukkah’s main ingredient was hazelnuts, one of Oregon’s major crops, Donna’s quest began. She developed five unique flavors of dukkah using the traditional base of hazelnuts, sesame seeds and peanuts. Vibrant Flavors Oregon Dukkah is a healthy, delicious product made from locally sourced Oregon ingredients. The packaging for Oregon Dukkah is produced in Oregon and is made from recycled and biodegradable materials.


Donna's attraction to the unique and unusual soon had her experimenting again. This time with an old favorite – hard pretzels. Crunchy, flavored snacks have always been a favorite of hers. Never liking the greasy film or sticky powder that coated her hands when eating flavored chips, she engaged her creative spirit to develop something clean, crisp and different. After many months of trial and error, she developed a unique way to flavor hard pretzels. Vibrant Flavors Pretzels are all natural, crunchy and delicious.


A Fresh Twist On A Traditional Favorite.

Our pretzels shatter the norm with an unexpected burst of flavor. Vibrant Flavors Pretzels are fat free, all natural and clean to the touch. They offer a crisp explosion of flavor without the sticky coating or greasy film left on your hands. A perfect snack to enjoy by your computer or on the go.

I was able to try a sample pack that included a bag of each flavor.


My review:

These pretzels are making me thirsty. Well Cosmo, you should have tried the pretzels from Vibrant Flavor (http://www.vibrantflavors.com/)! We were sent a care package of pretzels from Vibrant Flavor and well they sure did pick the right name for their product. As a Philadelphian, I grew up eating my share of pretzels both soft and hard variety, so I like to think of myself as a pretzel snob. We opened up the box and saw many bags of flavored pretzels sitting there, I turned to my husband to ask what flavor he wanted to try and he was already eating the BBQ flavored pretzels! He's like a ninja! So I asked him his opinion and he began to nod and mumble I think the exact quote was "Mmmhrmph frtgnmph dremthph yum." Well that's what it sounded like to me. When he was finished stuffing his face I was able to get an answer I could understand, he said these pretzels have an outstanding smokey, bbq flavor. Indeed they did.

I brought along a pack of Maple Bacon pretzels when I accompanied my daughter to the Zoo on her school trip. The first thing I could taste was the slight sweetness of maple syrup, another bite and I could taste the bacon, and the best part of it all is the flavor is baked on the inside of the pretzels so you don't have to worry about having messy fingers when you're done polishing off a bag of these delicious snacks. You get a perfect amount of pretzels in each bag, they really do make a great snack and since they're proportioned well you don't have to worry about feeling bad if you eat a whole bag. They have a wide range of flavors like Sweet Onion, Italian Herb & Beerzels....a combination of beer and pretzels! What a combo! A case of 12, 1.8 ounce bags is $28.69 and 2 3.3 ounce packages is $7.29. If you like pretzels (who doesn't?!) give the pretzels from Vibrant Flavor a shot, you won't be sorry.
