Auntie Anne's Original Pretzel - How Many Calories?

How Many Calories Posted on Sep 10th 2009 11:00AM by Bev Sklar
You shouldn't grocery shop when hungry. Same goes at the mall. But what if you're mall-starving and suddenly face-to-face with an Auntie Anne's pretzel stand? Even if you're counting calories, the scent of baking pretzels and a growling stomach are a powerful duo to ignore.

Logic tells you pretzels must be a healthier mall snack than ice cream or a grande frappuccino with whip on top. So, how many calories in an Auntie Anne's Original Pretzel?

With several flavors to choose from -- Almond, Cinnamon, Garlic, Jalapeno, Original, Pepperoni, Raisin, Sesame and Sour Cream & Onion -- it's a mind-twisting choice. Here are a few insights to make it easier.

An Auntie Anne's Original Pretzel with butter and salt has 340 calories. Drop the butter, and you're down to 310. Best choice? The Jalapeno Pretzel with no butter has 300 calories. Watch out for the 480-calorie Pepperoni Pretzel and 470-calorie Cinnamon Pretzel, those have as many calories as a full lunch, not snacks.

Consider yourself armed the next time a hot tray of Auntie Anne's attempts to overpower your willpower. And try to skip the salt, it's one of the Top 10 Belly Bloaters.
