GIRLS BITE OUT
We're right in the middle of National Pretzel Month! And whether you like
yours soft and steamy or hard and crunchy, we've got recipes, dip tips, food
finds and more for you. Prepare to be PRETZELED, HG style...
Personal Pretzel-Bottomed Ice Cream Pie!
PER SERVING (entire pie): 193 calories, 0.5g fat, 276 - 284mg sodium, 43 -
45g carbs, 5 - 6.5g fiber, 19 - 20g sugars, 6g protein -- POINTS® value 3*
Look! It's a portion-controlled sweet 'n salty treat... yay!
Ingredients:
1/2 oz. thin salted hard pretzels (about 24 sticks); finely crushed
3/4 cup Breyers Double Churn Free ice cream, French Chocolate or Creamy
Vanilla
1 tbsp. light vanilla soymilk
Optional: Fat Free Reddi-wip
Directions:
Place crushed pretzels in a small bowl and stir in the soymilk. Once mixture
is thoroughly blended, evenly spread it along the bottom and up along the
sides of the bowl to form a "pie crust". Next, scoop ice cream into a
separate, microwave-safe dish, and microwave for about 10 seconds
(depending on how hard the ice cream is), until just softened. Give ice cream
a thorough stir so that it is an even consistency. Spoon softened ice cream
carefully onto the pretzel-crust, and use the back of the spoon to smooth it
out evenly over the crust. (Don't worry if it's not perfect -- it's YOUR pie!)
Place dish in the freezer until ice cream is hard again. If you like, top with
some Fat Free Reddi-wip before digging in!

HOT Pretzel Picks 'n Tips!
Superpretzel Soft Pretzel Bites - We're crazy about Superpretzel's 160-
calorie soft pretzels. Well from those same twisted minds that brought us that
very pretzel come Soft Pretzel Bites! Each super-cute nugget contains just 30
calories, and they're practically fat-free (5 of them have just a half-gram of
fat and a total POINTS® value of 3*). Just like their parent pretzel, they
come frozen and thaw in just seconds. But unlike the big guys, you can
choose to kick a pretzel craving with just a few of these and take in fewer
calories. Yes!
The Snack Factory Deli Style Pretzel Crisps - We raved about these recently,
and we're still CRAZY about 'em. Extra-thin pretzel crackers with stellar
nutritionals (110 calories and a POINTS® value of 2* per 1-oz. serving) that
come in outrageous flavor combos are ALWAYS exciting. Our new faves are
Everything, Honey Mustard & Onion, and Original.
Hershey's 100 Calorie Pretzel Bars - No doubt about it, chocolate-covered
pretzels ROCK. But controlling yourself around a giant bag of 'em is definitely
a challenge. That's why we love Hershey's 100 Calorie Pretzel Bars. A thick
coating of real Hershey's chocolate covers 2 nicely sized hard pretzels for a
100-calorie, pre-portioned treat (POINTS® value 2*). Score!
Kettle Bakes Pretzel Chips - With a potato-chip-like airy crunch, these snacks
are crispy and delicious without a lot of calories or fat. They come in Original,
Fully Loaded, and Honey Dijon, and have just 110 - 120 calories and 1 - 3g
fat per 1-oz. serving (POINTS® value 2*). These are an awesome guilt-free
supermarket snack find. However, we recommend bagging these up into
single portions the second you unload your groceries -- they can be seriously
addictive!
Pretzel Dip Tips! - There are soooo many fun, guilt-free things to dip your
pretzels in. Here are a few good ones -- HG's Nacho-rific Cheese Sauce,
Vivi's Original Sauce in Classic Carnival Mustard, the sweet dessert dip from
our Groovy Grilled Fruit Fondue recipe, Hellmann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise,
low-calorie honey mustard dressing, and T. Marzetti's Light or Fat Free
Caramel Apple Dip (drizzle a small amount of that gooey stuff directly on
your pretzels to make a little go a loooong way).
