A Guide to the Best of Southern California : 14 FOOD : Can You Eat Just One?

IT’S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to be American and not like the two P’s--peanut butter and pretzels. But you haven’t lived until you’ve tried the two together. No, you don’t have to start messing around sticking pretzels into sticky jars: Trader Joe’s has considerately combined the two. Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels ($2.39 for a 1-pound bag) are addictively delicious. Even better, you can look at the label, see that a 1-ounce serving has 126 calories and 6% of the recommended daily allowance for protein, and persuade yourself that these delicious little nuggets are actually good for you.

Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels are available at all Trader Joe’s.
