About Chocolate covered pretzel crisps

Chocolate covered pretzel crisps are a sweet and salty snack originating from the fusion of European pretzel-making traditions with chocolate confectionery. These thin, crisp pretzels are coated in a layer of milk, dark, or white chocolate, creating a decadent treat enjoyed globally. Nutritionally, they are a source of carbohydrates from the pretzel base and fats and sugars from the chocolate coating. A typical 30g serving contains around 140-160 calories, with 6-8g of fat, 18-20g of carbohydrates, and about 1-2g of protein, making this a calorie-dense snack. While they provide quick energy, they are also high in added sugars and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
