The Favorite Day Dark Chocolate Covered Mini Pretzels were pretty decent, given my expectations. It isn’t that Favorite Day is a bad brand, but I’ve seen a few products sold under the label that ended up a total flop. As such, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with their chocolate-covered pretzel snacks, but this time, my experience wasn’t so bad.

In the case of the Favorite Day dark chocolate pretzel variety, I’d say they were satisfactory. The presentation was okay, and I noticed no uneven, sparse-covered pieces. The flavor was also nice, but it didn’t quite capture my attention the way some of the others on the list had. Something else I’d like to highlight is the odd texture of these Target pretzels. Now, when I say “odd,” I don’t mean in any way that they don’t taste or look like real pretzels. They do! Still, when compared to the Favorite Day milk chocolate version, these seemed strangely hard and crunchy — almost like they were beginning to go stale.

Having said that, I don’t want you to think these are totally gross. In general, I’d say they taste pleasant. Thus, the Favorite Day Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels, though not my favorite, are still a decent pick if some of the other tastier options aren’t available.
