Last week, Starbucks announced it was launching two new Bavarian-style pretzels ($2) in its snack lineup, for people who tend to sway toward salty provisions over sweet options.

The pretzels, which come in asiago and cheddar and stoneground Dijon, looked a little dehydrated and sad as they were pulled out of Starbucks's pastry refrigerator. The Starbucks employee said the pretzels tasted better when toasted, so they took a short trip to the oven before we brought them back to the office to try.

Chocolate-Dipped Pretzels

After mastering the art of chocolate-dipped chicharrónes, I became obsessed with coating just about everything in chocolate — in particular, pretzels. Dipping the salty sticks into chocolate over the double boiler became a part of my Winter-to-Spring weekend routine, and I quickly learned that not only are chocolate-covered pretzels more fun to make yourself, but there's also a ton that can be done with them. Get acquainted with the art of melting chocolate, then check out my five favorite things to do with a bowl of melted morsels and a bag full of pretzels.

The classic Ritz undoubtedly remains a bestseller, but in a day and age where supermarket aisles are crammed with everything from Cheetos Mighty Zingers and New York Style Risotto Chips, Nabisco's trying to stay ahead of the curve.

Did they live up to their promise? Find out when you read on.

If you can't make it to watch your favorite baseball team on Opening Day this year, turn your home into spectator central by gathering everyone 'round the big screen and serving up some stadium foods. Hot dogs, peanuts, and, of course, beer. Be sure to pass around fresh, hot soft pretzels, too (since most of you prefer them to their crispy counterparts). Serve them as a pre-dinner snack with coarse salt and spicy brown mustard — or studded with chocolate chips as a portable dessert. Which one suits your taste best? Decide when you read more.
