Kettle Pretzel Bakes

I am a big fan of pretzels. They are crunchy and, nutritionally, are a much better choice than potato chips. Pretzels aren't great for dipping, simply because they don't give you enough surface area for the dip to cling to, but Kettle Foods has just introduced a new product to their healthier "Baked" line of snacks that solves this problem: Pretzel Chips. These snacks are basically flat, chip-shaped pretzels and Kettle touts them as being low fat and made with organic ingredients. A 1-ounce serving (28 grams) of the Original, salted flavor has 120 calories and 1 gram of fat, which is about the same as regular twisted pretzels. If you're going to use a fattening cheese dip, it's not going to matter what kind of chips you use, of course, but these would make a great snack when paired with salsa or guacamole.
