#1. Candy Meltdown — The Ultimate Crowd-Pleaser
Best for: Candy lovers and anyone who believes more chocolate is always a good idea.
Taking the number-one spot is our beloved Candy Meltdown!
What makes this flavor such a hit? It’s the perfect combination of chocolate, colorful candy, and crunchy pretzel goodness. Each pretzel is dipped in chocolate, generously covered with mini M&M’s, and finished with an extra drizzle of chocolate.
Yes, there’s chocolate on the pretzel, candy on top, and even more chocolate to finish it off. What’s not to love?
Candy Meltdown is the kind of treat that makes people smile before they even take their first bite. The colorful candy gives it a fun, playful look, making it a great choice for parties, celebrations, gift baskets, or simply brightening someone’s day.
It’s also a wonderful option when you want something that feels a little more special than an ordinary candy bar. You get the crunch of the pretzel, the sweetness of the chocolate, and the familiar candy flavor that makes every bite fun.
It’s no surprise this one leads our 2026 bestseller countdown!
Our verdict: If you’re new to Sarah’s Gourmet Pretzels and only know where to start with one flavor, Candy Meltdown is a fantastic first pick.
#2. Cookie Monster — A Cookie Lover’s Dream
Best for: Cookie enthusiasts and anyone who loves a fun, over-the-top dessert.
Coming in at number two is Cookie Monster, a flavor that proves cookies and chocolate are an unbeatable combination.
This playful favorite brings together a chocolate-covered pretzel and the irresistible goodness of cookies. With its signature blue chocolate, cookie toppings, and fun googly-eye decorations, Cookie Monster is as eye-catching as it is delicious.
It’s the kind of treat that makes you want to take a picture before taking a bite. But once you do take that first bite, the combination of sweet chocolate, cookie goodness, and salty pretzel crunch makes it easy to understand why customers love it.
Cookie Monster is especially fun for birthdays, celebrations, dessert tables, and gifts for the person who always chooses cookies over cake. It’s also a great conversation starter when you’re bringing something unique to share.
And let’s be honest: sometimes dessert should be a little silly! Cookie Monster brings a playful twist to gourmet chocolate-covered pretzels without sacrificing the delicious flavor that makes them special.
Our verdict: For the person who loves cookies, chocolate, and treats with personality, Cookie Monster deserves a spot near the top of your must-try list.
#3. Peanut Butter Delight — Sweet, Salty, and Seriously Satisfying
Best for: Peanut butter fans and lovers of rich, crunchy treats.
Some flavor combinations never go out of style. Peanut butter and chocolate are certainly one of them!
Our Peanut Butter Delight earns the third spot in our 2026 ranking, and it’s easy to see why this flavor has developed such a loyal following.
This delicious creation features a sweet, crunchy peanut butter mixture dipped in milk chocolate and lightly drizzled with white chocolate. The result is a combination of creamy chocolate, peanut butter, and satisfying crunch, all balanced by the salty pretzel underneath.
Every bite brings together familiar flavors in a way that feels indulgent and comforting. It’s reminiscent of your favorite peanut butter candy, but with the added crunch and salty-sweet contrast of a pretzel.
Peanut Butter Delight is also a great gift for the person who insists that peanut butter belongs in just about every dessert. Bring a few to a gathering, add one to a gift box, or keep them on hand when you’re craving something sweet.
One word of caution: you might want to order more than one!
Our verdict: If you love the classic combination of peanut butter and chocolate, this is a flavor you won’t want to skip.
#4. Dark Raspberry — A Rich Chocolate Treat with a Fruity Twist
Best for: Dark chocolate fans and those who enjoy a little fruit with their sweets.
At number four, we have Dark Raspberry, a delicious choice for anyone who enjoys a more sophisticated take on chocolate-covered treats.
Dark chocolate and raspberry make a naturally appealing pairing. The rich chocolate flavor complements the fruity character of raspberry, creating a combination that feels both indulgent and a little different from the classic candy-inspired favorites above.
What makes Dark Raspberry stand out on this list is its distinct personality. While Candy Meltdown is colorful and playful and Cookie Monster is all about fun, Dark Raspberry offers a flavor profile that feels right at home alongside a cup of coffee, as an after-dinner treat, or as part of a thoughtful gift.
It’s a lovely option for the friend who gravitates toward dark chocolate, the family member who appreciates fruit-inspired desserts, or anyone looking to try something beyond the usual chocolate-and-candy combinations.
And because gourmet treats are all about enjoying the little details, the contrast between a crunchy pretzel and rich chocolate makes this flavor especially appealing.
Our verdict: Looking for something a little different from the classic candy-covered pretzel? Give Dark Raspberry a try.
#5. Gluten-Free Cookies-N-Cream — A Classic Favorite with a Gluten-Free Option
Best for: Cookies-and-cream fans looking for a gluten-free treat option.
Rounding out our top five is Gluten-Free Cookies-N-Cream!
Cookies and cream is a classic dessert combination for a reason. The sweetness of creamy white chocolate and the familiar flavor of chocolate cookies make it a favorite among dessert lovers of all ages.
Our gluten-free version brings that delicious combination to a chocolate-covered pretzel, offering a way for customers seeking gluten-free options to enjoy this style of indulgent treat.
It’s a wonderful choice for cookie lovers who want something a little more exciting than an ordinary cookie. The pretzel adds that satisfying crunch, while the chocolate and cookies create a familiar, dessert-inspired experience.
This flavor is also worth considering when shopping for gifts or assembling a treat box for someone who prefers gluten-free products. With its recognizable flavor combination, it makes a thoughtful addition to a selection of gourmet sweets.
( As always, if you have celiac disease or a serious gluten allergy, be sure to review the product’s current allergen information. Our gluten-free pretzels are made in the same facility as products containing wheat, so cross-contact is possible. )
Our verdict: If cookies and cream is your go-to dessert flavor, this gluten-free option is one to put on your list.
