Second on the Thanksgiving feast of products Rob brought for us to test were
Glutino brand gluten-free pretzels.
All I can start with is WOW! I will never eat another gluten pretzel again!
Glutino sure makes a mean and tasty little pretzel that is packed with flavor and crunch. On my first bite, I right away noticed how light the pretzel is. The snacks contain the perfect amount of saltiness, and have a buttery, nutty note to them that is close to bliss. We pretty much devoured the 14 oz. bag in 2 days- (that's a short time for us who don't normally snack). As tasty as they are, I'll have to keep myself away from them as they do contain a fair amount of sodium (540 mg per 32 pretzels), and a few non-natural sounding ingredients I wouldn't normally eat.
Ingredients:
Corn starch, potato starch, palm oil, soy flour, sugar, sea salt, carboxymethylcellulose, sodium bicarbonate, sodium pyrophosphate, soy lecithin, yeast extract, sodium hydroxide.

Level of Realism: Better than gluten pretzels!
Glutino gluten-free pretzels are a satisfying and tasty snack with huge crunch appeal. I highly recommend them- just be sure to re-hydrate with plenty of h20 to flush out the sodium!

I recently just tried those Glutino GF Pretzels. They are delicious! My boyfriend who is not gluten intolerant prefers Glutino's pretzels over the regular ones.
I am happy that now I'm seeing those pretzels at Wild Oats and even Vons in San Diego.
In March, I took a couple of the small packs and used my dipping chocolate (found at any craft store) to make a gluten free version of Nestle's "Flips". Very good. Now that it's cooling off again, I'll have to make more.
Sorry if this is duplicated - blogger's hating me today.
Glutino also makes some great Ritz style crakers. Have you ever tried bi-Agluts pasta? next to Dr. Schars it tasts better than the wheat version
OOOh! I had been wanting to try those. Glad to hear they are so good. I have been craving my gluten filled snacks (am newly GF). I just found your site via Gluten Free Goddess. Thanks for all the hard work ;)

Just found your site.
Love it! You will undoubtedly save us all a ton of money by letting us know which products are worth trying out and which are not.
Speaking of reviews - do you do just food, or do you also review books? My wife and I just finished publishing our first Gluten-Free Desserts Recipe Book, and if you are interested in reviewing it, I should be able to get a copy to you in the next few weeks (the books are to be available later next week to the public). Let me know if interested.
Keep up the great reviews either way!
