Chocolate lovers, celebrate—the long-awaited Uncle Jerry’s Halloween Pretzels are back.
Handcrafted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, these small-batch, chocolate-dipped sourdough pretzels are the perfect blend of old-fashioned flavor and festive indulgence.
“Uncle Jerry’s Halloween Pretzels” seasonal treat so irresistible: authentic craftsmanship, pure ingredients, and just the right amount of sweetness.
For those who remember, we first met Misty last year (find that article here) when she first introduced Uncle Jerry’s Pretzels. After a few bites, we needed more, so we asked her to return.
For those in cities like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Miami Beach, where taste meets culture and craftsmanship matters, this isn’t just another Halloween candy drop—it’s a story of tradition, flavor, and fun. Whether you’re planning a chic cocktail party or an office treat table, these pretzels bring a bite of nostalgia—and a lot of joy—to the season.
A Handmade Heritage Meets Halloween Magic
“My dad started Uncle Jerry’s Handmade Pretzels about 35 years ago.
It is a handmade pretzel baked in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
and we are distributed nationally,”
Misty Skulnick
daughter of founder Uncle Jerry.
“My dad is still making deliveries today in the Philadelphia area.”
That alone gives the brand its soul: a family-run business where tradition isn’t a slogan—it’s the recipe. And while most Halloween snacks lean toward sugar overload, Uncle Jerry’s takes a healthier, more flavorful path. Their pretzels are 100% natural, made with no oils, preservatives, or shortenings. Just five ingredients: water, flour, salt, sourdough starter, and yeast.
The Seasonal Return of Chocolate Bliss
After a long summer hiatus (melting chocolate and heat waves don’t mix), the chocolate pretzels are finally back in season. “Our chocolate pretzels are back,” Misty shared with a grin. “They are seasonal and we can’t ship them during the hotter months. It’s finally cooled off here, and people are screaming with joy that they are finally back.”
These treats are as handcrafted as they are addictive, available in milk or dark chocolate, and individually wrapped—making them perfect for gifting or guilt-free indulgence. The lineup includes:
-
Classic Chocolate Pretzels (individually wrapped)
-
Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
-
Caramel Minis
-
Pretzel Bark
-
Extra Dark Pretzel Pieces
If you’re a dark chocolate purist, the “extra dark” is your new obsession.
Flavor, Fun, and a Touch of Pennsylvania Pride
Uncle Jerry’s uses premium Wilbur chocolate, working with another small family business in Lancaster County.
“We work directly with the owner, and he helps us come up with new ideas and uses Wilbur chocolate,”
Misty skolnick explained.
“We are so proud to be able to work with another local small business.”
It’s flavor you can taste—and feel good about. In an era of ultra-processed snacks, Uncle Jerry’s keeps things human-scale. There’s humor in the honesty too: “I cannot keep the peanut butter and chocolate pretzel bites in my apartment because I will eat them all,” Misty confessed, laughing.
From chocolate bark that melts in your mouth to pretzel bites that pair perfectly with a latte or a glass of Merlot, these treats turn a humble snack into a conversation piece. You can imagine them at a SoHo gallery opening or tucked into an Aspen après-ski spread—playful, yet undeniably elegant.
Healthy Indulgence: The Balance of Good Taste
“The chocolate is premium chocolate,”
Misty explained.
“It’s chocolate—so yes, there’s sugar and fat—but the ingredients are excellent. You don’t need to overindulge, and that’s the best part.”
Think of it as the art of mindful indulgence: one pretzel satisfies your craving without guilt. For adults used to luxury in moderation—whether that’s a curated mezcal tasting in Mexico City or a chef’s dessert in Chicago—this is the same energy: simple, honest pleasure.

Halloween Nostalgia, Modern Taste
“One of my favorite Halloween memories is from my small town in Pennsylvania,” Misty shared. “I remember the cops giving us glow sticks and telling us how to be safe. I just remember that excitement—that the night was finally here.”
It’s that same excitement that fills every box of Uncle Jerry’s Halloween Pretzels—a celebration of warmth, community, and a little childhood magic, wrapped in chocolate.
