Pretzel Flipz

BaileysComet

Anyone remember these? Or are they still around? Pretzels coated in chocolate. Probably sounds a bit weird to some but I thought they were delicious. Would love to see them again. Are there any other chocolate-covered pretzels on the market?

Yup I used to love these - any chocolate-salty combo makes me go 'mmmmm'. But yep they're gone here though. In the States they still sell them and in loads of different varieties: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, fudge, yogurt, etc. And having just returned from New York I have a pack of the milk chocolate ones in my kitchen right now. Yummeeeeee

And where do you live? Try to be as specific as possible too.

I would have lived on these. I did live on these, til they disappeared. I assumed I just ate them all.

emeraldstar

Er, somewhere very very far away. Like on the other side of the rainbow. Yeah.

TPD

I remember these, they were lovely!

Aye, the trick was to put the bag in your pocket for a while and let 'em melt a bit first then peel open the bag and tuck in to some finger-lickin' chocolatey goodness.

You can't just say that and nothing else.


How? Where? Have you made some? Can we test them?

No they aren't!

Maybe if you're a professional pretzel maker...

That's quite expensive! I liked them as well, but at nearly €8 for a bag... :eek:

Are they any good?

iMax

Slightly larger than "flipz". Tasted good to me. They come from NY IIRC.

Slightly worse mon ami, GBP£8 a bag.

Just signed the petition. I never did understand why they got rid of them, they're savage!

I'd completely forgot about the existence of these for years until I saw them in a CVS in Boston last week.

Like a little piece of my childhood came rushing back!

Always order my american candy fix from here! Always fresh and quick delivery the cheapest online that i can find!

I bought a pack of chocolate covered pretzels in Dundum cinema last night. They were gak - American crappy chocolate. Tasted like cooking chocolate, but the pretzels were nice and salty. I only ate two. UGH!

iMax

I'm going to Swords tonight, I'll buy a pack to check, but the flipz would have been the same. they wern't made here.

bronte

Oooooh those flipz were teh yum! Why do these companies tempt me with their chocolatey goodness then take the product off the market? :mad:

bungler

Had them & yes they're American "chocolate" (think hersheys) but they're still great

gibo_ie

There is a new pretzel shop in the Ilac centre beside Argos. Opened this week, they may have them.
I didn't think there would be a huge demand for pretzels in Ireland but must be ehh...

bungler

just left the Apple petrol station in Clonskeagh and they have a big selection of american imported chocolate coated ones

The asian market on Drury St in Dublin has chocolate covered pretzel sticks for 89c a box, got strawberry ones today, which were no great shakes unfortunately, the chocolate ones might be nicer

Pretzels

Cadbury's dairy milk (or your chocolate of choice)

Pan

Insert chocolate into pan, heat very gentle on a very low heat until chocolate melts

Drop pretzels into pan

Put chocolate covered pretzels on a tray in the fridge

There's also 'Mikado', which have been in Europe for years and years, but recently the company seems to be pushing the product in Ireland. Pity (typical!) that the price is about 4x what it is on the European mainland.

They have dark chocolate, vanilla, orange, along with one or two others.

Oh wow - I loved these! I was never a big chocolate eater, but I think chocolate pretzels are the cause of my losing my waif-like child's body and starting to turn into a woman. Ok - it could have been because I was just hitting puberty when I found them, but I reckon it's more due to their deliciously salty chocolately goodness - and eating five packets at a time!!
Why don't we capitalise more on the sweet and salty taste? Anybody worth their salt (:rolleyes:) knows that one of the best treats in the world is cinema popcorn and Minstrels!

doctorwhogirl

These were AMAZING!!!

Anyone remember the sweets Vice Versas alswell!

They were sexy sweets!!
like minstrels but one had a milk chocolate shell and white choc inside and the other the opposite!!

Loved them!

Vice Versas were fantastic! Nobody ever believes me when I talk about them

MissFlitworth

I loved Vice Versas, why do chocolate makers always kill the thing you love?

emeraldstar

I loved Vice Versas.. but what's the small sweet in the middle of that photo meant to be, I wonder?

Kenny_D

Probably to show the size of them compared to a smartie. They were really nice and I loved the white chocolate pretzels
