Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets Lead a 13-Brand Showdown

A side-by-side taste test ranks 13 peanut butter filled pretzels from worst to best, evaluating shell crispness, filling sweetness, salt, and mouthfeel. Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets win for crisp shells and balanced flavor, with 365 Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets, Kirkland Signature, Utz, and Good & Gather rounding out the top, while Quinn's grain-free nuggets finish last due to a stale-tasting filling; Reese's and Snyder's land toward the bottom for candy-like or off-note flavors. The piece notes saltiness, packaging, and mouthfeel, and explains the author’s 1–10 scoring methodology.

Cabot Butter Proves Too Salty in Taste Test, Kerrygold Reigns Supreme

A taste-test of salted grocery-store butters ranks Cabot Creamery’s salted butter near the bottom due to overly salty flavor, with Walmart’s Great Value only slightly better; Kerrygold is the top pick and Plugra is a strong alternative. The piece suggests using Cabot in compound butters or baked goods with reduced salt, or mixing it with unsalted butter to balance flavor, and notes price variance (about $4.93 for 16 oz at Walmart in PA).

BTB Veggie Base Too Salty for Comfort in Flavor Ranking

Taste Table ranks seven Better Than Bouillon flavors, with the Seasoned Vegetable Base landing last due to heavy saltiness, even though it remains more flavorful than typical store-bought veggie broths; Organic Roasted Chicken Base is first, and the Reduced-Sodium Seasoned Vegetable Base sits fourth; cutting salt by about 25% on BTB’s beef and chicken bases can substantially improve the veggie option by letting the vegetable flavors—onion, carrot, celery and tomato—shine through.
