Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Mint & Pretzel Goldfish Mix: The Money Shot
Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Mint & Pretzel Goldfish Mix is another new snack mix released at the same time as the honey mustard mix I reviewed last week. This one was not as successful for me. The chocolate mint cookie pieces tasted sort of like the inside of a Thin Mint – nice and light and crunchy, and the chocolate mint flavor was bold but not overly sweet. I liked the subtlety and restraint.
But the salty pretzel added in was a little weird. The pretzels itself were good, but salty mint? I feel like I MUST have tried that in other places, but I couldn’t pinpoint where. It’s not that it’s a bad combo, and I noshed a good number of handfuls, but it’s not the most natural pairing. I give PF credit for the effort, but I wouldn’t buy these again.
Regular chocolate cookie with pretzel? I can dig it. The mint threw everything off for me.

I tried these weeks ago with really high hopes and I had the same thoughts about the Thin Mint flavor and consistency and also about the weird-ness of the pretzel. In fact, I literally ended up tossing most of the pretzel pieces and just ate the chocolate ones.
this flavor combo makes no sense to me.
In theory, it could actually be good. After all, you seem chocolate mint covered pretzels and peppermint covered pretzels at Christmas time, right?
Strangest goldfish combo ever. Your description on the mint chocolate goldfish tasting like the inside of a Thin Mint was spot on.
Actually, I would buy these if they sold mint chocolate goldfish grahams. No need for the pretzel goldfish. I can buy those separately.
