Penn State Launches New Snacks

Penn State, the UK pretzel giant, is launching a brand new range of pretzels and popcorn this summer.  Perfect for the health conscious, on-the go consumer, Penn State products mean guilt-free snacking!  The low fat, low calorie snacks do not compromise on taste, and the range of varieties are exciting!


Innovative new air popped popcorn in Sweet & Salt and Monterey Jack Cheese flavours will be hitting the shelves this summer in 80g bags.  I was sent a sample of the cheesy popcorn to try and it was absolutely delicious.  It was quite unique and so very moreish!  I will definitely buy it in the future as a healthier snacking option for my family.

Sizzling seasonal Spicy Tomato and Chorizo pretzels in 175g bags are also being brought out along with a re-launch of Worcester Sauce flavour, back by popular demand in 175g and handy 35g bags.  

A bottom coated milk chocolate pretzel and a festive Gammon & Mustard pretzel will be added to the range later in the year. 

New Worcester Sauce flavour pretzels are available to buy now in ASDA. Chocolate Pretzels will be available from October in Morrisons. The original range is available to buy in most major supermarkets.

Penn State Pretzels

Penn State Pretzels are a deliciously different snack that come in a variety of flavours to give you the ultimate pretzel taste experience!  What's more, at less than 10% fat they are a guilt free treat!

I was sent three bags of Penn State Pretzels to test out Inside the Wendy House.  We received Original Sea Salt Giant Pretzels, Sour Cream and Chive Pretzels and Sweet and Spicy Salsa Pretzels.

I love their knotted shape...My 8 year old thought they were love hearts!  They were very fresh tasting, quite intensely flavoured, very crunchy and incredibly moreish!  They are baked not fried so they are not at all greasy.  Each bag contains approx 7 servings which equates to approximately 100 calories making them a healthier, lower fat snacking option.

We sat down to watch a family film together and munched our way through a bag of Pretzels.  Kizzy and Freddy loved them.  They made a really nice change to crisps and were ideal for dipping into a pot of salsa!  They make an ideal snack for all the family for any occasion.

Pretzels don't just make a yummy snack or pre-dinner party nibble they can also be used as an ingredient in recipes.  How about a Pretzel Based Cheesecake or Caramel Pretzel Brittle!

They are available to buy in most good retailers priced at approximately £1.59 for 175g.

*This Summer, Penn State are launching a brand new look with updated packaging designs.  They are branching out with an exciting new range of flavoured popcorn, as well as introducing some fabulous brand new flavours of pretzel.  The UK's number one Pretzel Brand is about to get even better!!*
