<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been insecure about eating pretzels ever since I took that university astronomy class six years ago.<\/p>\n
One evening we had a test review session, and the TA explained, \u201cThe sun is lowest in the sky at the winter solstice.\u201d One girl asked, in complete seriousness, \u201cIs that in August?\u201d She had an open bag of pretzels on her desk, so ever since that time, I\u2019ve wondered if pretzels are the preferred snack of those who are a few stars short of a galaxy.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, my obsession for anything holiday related trumps my insecurities about pretzels, so here I am trying Hershey\u2019s Milk Chocolate Eggs with Pretzel Bits. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All of them are in the same blue wrapper, which is a bit boring in an Easter basket, don’cha think? I\u2019m sure they did this either (a) because it\u2019s cost prohibitive to make different wrappers for just one flavor of candy, or (b) because they want you to mix colors with their other flavors. <\/p>\n
The answer is always money.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When I take them out of the wrapper, my first thought is that they are ugly. They look more like footballs, complete with a seam, than they look like eggs. <\/p>\n
But the real test comes in the eating. Are they any good?<\/p>\n
Yes! <\/p>\n
They have that familiar Hershey\u2019s flavor you get in Kisses or those packages of six candy bars they sell next to the marshmallows and graham crackers. But this time, it\u2019s crunchy. Me likey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve let a few melt in my mouth so I can isolate the pretzel bits. I wondered if they\u2019d be some pretzel-like imitation, but no, they\u2019re the real deal, down to the salt. I don\u2019t notice the salt if I crunch the whole egg at once, but with the pretzels by themselves, it\u2019s definitely there. I can get my pretzel fix with these without feeling insecure about my knowledge of seasons.<\/p>\n
Now, everyone knows that Hershey\u2019s chocolate is never going to rival Cadbury Mini Eggs or Lindt bunnies. But these certainly beat those RM Palmer coins and eggs that were a staple of my childhood Easter baskets. <\/p>\n
The biggest problem with these is their availability. I looked in nine different stores before I finally found them in the tenth. I think I encountered every other flavor on the way, but this pretzel variety is hard to find. But that\u2019s fitting. They\u2019re Easter eggs, after all.<\/p>\n
