Handmade sourdough pretzels meet real chocolate with Uncle Jerry’s Valentine’s Day chocolate pretzels are the fresh, flavorful gift worth giving.
Tired of the same old heart-shaped box gathering dust on drugstore shelves?
This Valentine’s Day, Uncle Jerry’s Pretzels is serving up something that actually makes sense: handmade sourdough pretzels dipped in real chocolate. It’s the kind of gift that works whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with your partner or Galentine’s Day with your crew.
Misty Skolnick talks about why Valentine’s Day chocolate pretzels hit differently than mass-produced candy.
The answer?
Fresh ingredients, real craftsmanship, and a flavor combo that doesn’t feel like a sugar bomb.
Why Valentine’s Day Deserves Better Than Gas Station Candy
Let’s be honest. Most Valentine’s Day candy tastes like it was made six months ago in a factory somewhere far away. Because it probably was.
Uncle Jerry’s takes a different approach.
“We love Valentine’s Day because you get the best of both worlds at Uncle Jerry’s pretzels,”

“You get the salty, crunchy pretzel, but then you also get the sweetness of chocolate. And who doesn’t love a little bit of chocolate on Valentine’s Day?”
But here’s where it gets interesting. While most chocolate gifts are drowning in sugar, Valentine’s Day chocolate pretzels from Uncle Jerry’s start with something simple: handmade sourdough. Flour, water, sourdough yeast, and a pinch of salt. That’s it. Then comes a light coating of milk or dark chocolate that doesn’t overwhelm the pretzel underneath.
“It never feels over the top, never feels like it’s too much,” says Skolnick. “You know that underneath the chocolate, which is a nice indulgence, you’re also getting a really good snack.”
For food lovers in places like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago who’ve grown weary of overly sweet treats, this approach feels refreshingly honest.
The Flavor Profile That Makes Sense
There’s a reason salt and chocolate work so well together. According to Scientific American, salt enhances sweetness while reducing bitterness. That’s why a pinch of sea salt on dark chocolate tastes better than chocolate alone.
Uncle Jerry’s nails this balance.
The sourdough pretzel brings a subtle tang and satisfying crunch. The chocolate adds richness without turning the whole thing into a dessert. It’s fun-loving without being childish. Sophisticated without being stuffy.
That’s the kind of relatability that separates Uncle Jerry’s from fancy chocolatiers charging $80 for six truffles. These pretzels disappear fast at parties. They’re crowd pleasers that don’t require a wine pairing guide.
Fresh Means Fresh: No Warehouse, No Problem
Here’s something most people don’t think about: shelf life. Big candy companies need their products to survive months in distribution. That means preservatives, stabilizers, and ingredients you can’t pronounce.
Uncle Jerry’s bakes every batch fresh to order. “Customers know that by the time our pretzels arrive on their doorsteps, they’re fresh and haven’t been sitting in a warehouse,” Skolnick notes. “We ask for their patience, but people really do love knowing that the pretzels they’re getting are fresh and they haven’t been sitting in a warehouse for six, eight, 10 months.”
Shipping takes three to five days anywhere in the United States. Yes, you need to plan ahead. But for anyone who’s ever bitten into stale chocolate, that wait is worth it.
For the Galentine’s Day crowd (which has become its own thing, let’s be real), these pretzels work beautifully. Skolnick points out that they’re “a great gift for you and your friends around the table.” Much more fun than splitting a bottle of wine alone in your apartment while watching reality TV.
Ordering is straightforward. Visit UncleJerrysPretzels.com or find them on Instagram and Facebook at @UncleJerrysPretzels. The website ships across the United States, and orders are typically fulfilled within three to five business days.
“Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or any date night, Uncle Jerry’s pretzels is a fantastic, crunchy, healthy, flavorful option.”
