Even though my weather app tells me it was 95 degrees this past weekend, the store shelves and the calendar tell me we\u2019re in the thick of Pumpkin Spice season. Excessively seasoned pretzel purveyor Dot\u2019s, however, didn\u2019t get the message. Instead, it\u2019s choosing to fight off the impending Autumnal chill with the tangy heat of a new Buffalo version of its popular twists.<\/p>\n
When it comes to Dot\u2019s, I\u2019m mostly a purist. I\u2019ve tried the Garlic Parmesan and the Honey Mustard, and while I enjoy both, the original is still my favorite. I\u2019ll also posit that there\u2019s always a bit of trepidation that accompanies taste-testing a new flavor; these things ain\u2019t cheap, and if they\u2019re bad, well, it\u2019s hard knowing you could\u2019ve had two bags of Doritos for the same price. (At least in Walmart money.)<\/p>\n
So when I tried the first one, I thought to myself, \u201cWhat the hell is this?\u201d I was a bit let down. Like a punch-drunk boxer with a costly Faberge egg habit, however, I don\u2019t know when to quit. And so I had another. And I went, \u201cHey, this is pretty okay.\u201d And by the third, I was thinking, \u201cOh, wow, okay. This is nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The \u201cBuffalo\u201d seasoning is all that it claims to be via the top of the packaging: \u201cspicy \u2019n tangy.\u201d The spice isn\u2019t anything the weakest of spice wimps wouldn\u2019t be able to handle, but it\u2019s definitely noticeable. The vinegary punch of the buffalo seasoning really shines, though, and in classic Dot\u2019s fashion, there\u2019s plenty of coverage along the whole twist. There\u2019s even something that evokes the tang of bleu cheese, but I think that\u2019s just my overheated 95-degrees-in-the-middle-of-September imagination working overtime.<\/p>\n
In the end, I really liked these. But having said that, I feel like I\u2019ll only buy again if I can find them in the 5-ounce bag. A 16-ounce pouch is just a lot of Buffalo for an itch that a couple of servings can scratch.<\/p>\n
