The Pretzelized Mediterranean Herb Pretzel Pita Chips have been added to the brand's product portfolio as a decidedly herbaceous flavor option perfect for enjoyment on its own or pairing with a variety of toppings.
The snack starts off with the brand's signature hybrid recipe that has a crunchy pretzel exterior that transitions to a soft pita interior for a mixture of textures that maximize snacking satisfaction. The snack chips are then blasted with oregano, rosemary, roasted garlic and sea salt to call to mind the flavor of Mediterranean cuisine, but in a decidedly more convenient format.
The Pretzelized Mediterranean Herb Pretzel Pita Chips are headed to Kroger banner store locations at the perfect time to coincide with entertaining season. The snack is ready to be enjoyed straight out of the bag, with a dip, topped with cheese and more.
