Penn State Pretzels

Picnic

Our 30g bags are ideal for picnics and offer great variety too. Try serving them with a dip as a change from crisps.

Penn State Pretzels are lower in fat than crisps and other snacks, so they provide a tasty, but healthier addition to a lunchbox. Pretzels also provide energy vital carbohydrates, so a pack at lunchtime will ensure you maintain your energy levels throughout the day.
