After creating a doable (and enjoyable) meal plan, taking stock of the pantry and fridge, making a grocery list, and navigating the chaotic aisles, I often emerge from the store feeling like I could use a spa day.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This is why I\u2019ve started rewarding myself with a little &#8220;good job, mama&#8221; treat to celebrate the fact that I&#8217;ve successfully restocked my family&#8217;s pantry and managed the mental load that goes along with it.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> My \u201ctreats\u201d run the gamut from an iced coffee or sourdough croissants to a bottle of wine or hydrating hand cream. Lately, my go-to has been Trader Joe&#8217;s A Handful of Tiny Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> After pushing my heavy cart to the car and dodging errant shopping carts and distracted pedestrians, I look forward to sitting quietly in my vehicle and enjoying this simple pleasure alone. It&#8217;s a little pat on the back for braving the grocery store and emerging with enough sustenance to feed my crew for another week.\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Simply Recipes \/ Trader Joe&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-why-i-love-these-tiny-chocolate-covered-pretzels\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Why I Love These Tiny Chocolate-Covered Pretzels <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> These chocolate-covered pretzels perfectly strike the balance between salty, sweet, and crunchy. The salty, crisp pretzel provides a satisfying crunch, while the rich, dark chocolate coating adds a light sweetness that makes it feel treat-worthy. It&#8217;s a harmonious blend that would satisfy any snack craving.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beyond their deliciousness, the portion size is also a selling point. I almost always buy the family-sized package of almost every product, but for just $1.19 this single-serve pouch is the perfect pick-me-up, leaving me free from the temptation to mindlessly snack in traffic all the way home.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> While I usually buy these pretzels to enjoy on their own, they are also a fun addition to a bowl of popcorn, ice cream, or yogurt. They can even be incorporated into baking projects. Tiny pretzel chocolate chip cookies, anyone?\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> No matter how you choose to enjoy them, the \u201cgood job, mama&#8221; treat makes a mundane task feel more special. So, go ahead and treat yourself, mama\u2014you deserve it!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Trader #Joes #Find #Buy #Time #Eat #Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trader Joe&#8217;s Tiny Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels Price: $1.19 per 2.5oz bag Why I Love It: These mini-pretzels are the perfect balance between salty, sweet, and crunchy, and make a great post-grocery-shopping treat.
