Pretzel Club
Two cheese spreads and one bold, briny accompaniment — this month leans savory rather than sweet.
Philly Soft Pretzels — Pack of 5
Warm in a low oven, not the microwave, for the best texture.
Cheddar & Horseradish with Smoky Bacon Cheese Spread
Sharp, smoky, with real horseradish bite. Not subtle — in a good way.
Abbruzze Cheese Spread
Milder and creamier, a good counterpoint to the horseradish spread.
Black Olive Tapenade
Briny and rich — an unexpected but excellent match for a warm pretzel.
Dark Chocolate Toffee & Cashew Bar
The one sweet note in an otherwise savory box.
How it eats
Snacking, casual, good for an afternoon rather than a full meal.
Two Ways to Snack
Bold Route: Warm pretzel torn and dunked into the Cheddar & Horseradish spread, chased with a bite of tapenade.
Milder Route: Abbruzze spread with a warm pretzel, chocolate bar for dessert after.
Notes
- Warm pretzels at 300°F for 5 minutes
- Both cheese spreads keep about 2 weeks refrigerated once opened
- Tapenade also works well spread thin on the pretzel itself, not just as a dip
last month
Philly Soft Pretzels — Pack of 5
The classic. Warm them up, don't microwave — a low oven keeps them soft instead of tough.
Smoked Gouda & Beer Cheese Spread — 7.6-Ounce Container
Smoky and rich — this month's savory pick. Best on a warm pretzel, not a cold one.
Port Wine Cheese Spread — 7.6-Ounce Container
Sharp and slightly sweet, with real depth from the wine. The more grown-up of the two spreads.
Blood Orange & Grappa Jam — 3.9-Ounce Jar
An unexpected pretzel pairing — the citrus cuts through the salt in a way that actually works.
Cinnful Cocoa Pecans — 4.5-Ounce Bag
Sweet and crunchy, a nice contrast if you're going the jam route instead of the cheese spreads.
How it eats
Snacking, not a full meal — good for an afternoon or a casual get-together.
Two Ways to Snack
Savory Route: Warm pretzel, torn and dunked straight into the Smoked Gouda & Beer Cheese Spread or Port Wine Spread.
Sweet Route: Warm pretzel with the Blood Orange & Grappa Jam spread thin, Cinnful Cocoa Pecans on the side.
Notes
- Warm pretzels in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes — skip the microwave, it makes them chewy in the wrong way
- Both cheese spreads keep about 2 weeks refrigerated once opened
- Salt packets are included separately if you want to add more
