Dark Chocolate Covered Bavarian Pretzel
December 27, 2010
In my opinion, pretzels and chocolate make a stellar combination. The salty, slightly nutty flavor of the pretzel blended with the chocolatey bitterness of the dark coating taste oh-so-good together!
The Rocky Mountain Dark Chocolate Covered Bavarian pretzel is a fine example of this great combination and even beats my expectations. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory did a superb job in finding the right dark chocolate coating so that with its intense, bold flavor, the pretzel does not overpower the chocolate, rather the flavors merge into a fine taste treat.
As I was tasting my mind wandered to the pretzel part, as I have hardly given pretzels a second thought through the years. Digging into it a little bit I uncovered some basic pretzel info and then tried to find a definition of a "Bavarian" pretzel.
It turns out pretzels have been around a long time, having medieval European origins. They are typically made from bread dough and shaped into a three looped knot or twisted braid. Traditional pretzels can be hard or soft, large or small.
A Bavarian pretzel is typically hard on the outside and soft in the center. The pretzel is usually thick, about ½ an inch in diameter, but comes in a variety of sizes.
Pretzels are good, but chocolate covered pretzels are even better! And the chocolate covered pretzel from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a good choice.
