Penn State

Penn State brings a different kind of snack to your table. If you are after something beyond the traditional crisp, their sharing pretzels offer a proper alternative with real substance and flavour.

Penn State Sea Salted Sharing Pretzels

These 175g pretzels keep things straightforward. Sea salt is a flavour that works because it lets the pretzel itself shine through. You get that satisfying crunch that lasts, followed by the soft interior that pretzels do so well. The salt hits you immediately but does not overwhelm, which means you can eat a handful without the flavour becoming one-note.

The texture is what makes pretzels different from crisps. They are denser, chewier, and they take longer to eat. That makes them better for situations where you want a snack that will actually keep you going, whether that is at your desk during the afternoon or during a film at home. They work well with a drink too, since the salt gives you something to come back to between sips.

At 175g per pack, these are proper sharing pretzels. You can open a pack and work through it over time, or share it around at a gathering without worrying that you will run out too quickly.

Penn State Sour Cream and Chive Sharing Pretzels

If you want more going on flavour-wise, the sour cream and chive option delivers. This is a flavour that people either love or skip past, and if you are the type who enjoys that combination on a baked potato or in a dip, you will get the same hit here.

The chive comes through clearly, with the sour cream providing a slight tang rather than overwhelming creaminess. Because pretzels have that dense texture, the flavour coating sits on them properly and does not disappear the moment you start chewing. Each pretzel tastes consistent, which means no half-flavoured ones hiding at the bottom of the pack.

This flavour suits situations where you want something with a bit more character. They work well with cheese or charcuterie, or just on their own if you fancy something savoury and a bit different from what you normally reach for. The 175g size means they are still proper sharing pretzels, not a light snack.

Why Choose Pretzels Over Crisps

Crisps are brilliant, and we have plenty of them on the site if you want to browse our range of single bags or full cases. But pretzels offer something different. They are sturdier, which means they do not turn to crumbs the moment you open the pack or grab a handful. The chewing time is longer, so a pack genuinely lasts. And the flavour coating on pretzels tends to be more stable than on crisps, meaning every bite is as flavoured as the last.

If you like snacking but you want something that will not disappear in five minutes, pretzels make sense. Penn State pretzels are a step up from the budget options you find in most supermarkets, with real flavour and a quality texture that makes the eating experience worth your time.

All Packs Just One Pound

Every pack at One Pound Crisps costs one pound, and that includes both Penn State pretzels. You get genuine quality without paying premium prices. Whether you want to stock up on grab bags for quick snacking or load up on multipacks for the week ahead, the pricing stays fair.

Pretzels are an underrated snack in the UK. Most people do not think to reach for them because they are used to crisps, but if you have never tried proper pretzels, Penn State is a good starting point. The texture, the flavour, and the way they sit in your mouth is genuinely different from what you get with a crisp, and different is worth trying.

What flavours does Penn State make?

We stock two Penn State varieties: sea salted and sour cream and chive. Both come as 175g sharing pretzels. The sea salted is simple and straightforward, whilst the sour cream and chive has more flavour depth. Both are available at One Pound Crisps.

Are Penn State pretzels vegetarian?

For information on ingredients, allergens and dietary requirements, please check the pack itself. This information can change between batches and manufacturers, so the pack is always your most reliable source.

How big is a 175g pack of pretzels?

175g is a sharing size that will give you a proper snacking session. It is big enough to last several sittings if you are eating alone, or to share around a group without running out too quickly. The density of pretzels means 175g feels more substantial than a 175g bag of crisps.
