I *love* chocolate-coated pretzels. (Not white 'chocolate', but then
again I have a moral problem with white 'chocolate'. And preferably
the regular semi-heart-shaped pretzels instead of sticks or chunky
German/Bavarian kinds.)

Ben & Jerry's, the decadent ice-cream people, make a flavor called
Chubby Hubby which is vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered
pretzels and (I think) caramel and fudge. Mmmmm.

Oooh, I love those. (Yogurt-covered ones are good too, strangely
enough.) But then, chocolate covered just-about-anything is yummy.
(peanuts, raisins, boyfriend..errr...)

Never seen those. Sounds intriguing. Any suggestions how to find some?

Those have been around for a while, or so I thought... I believe that only
recently did one of the big pretzel companies start doing them.

Try a yogurt covered pretzel sometime.

I think they taste great. I've discovered a fantastic flavor of Ben&Jerry's:
Chubby Hubby. It contains chocolate-covered pretzel bites *stuffed* with
peanut butter.

That's what I get for not reading ahead.

Are you as hungry as I am? Hmmm, Winn-Dixie is still open...

I agree, email addresses with only A records and no MX aren't very nice, but
that's not the same as saying they're actually invalid.
