Dark Chocolate Pretzels

Dark Chocolate Pretzels are crunchy, salty pretzels covered in intense dark chocolate, in a 200 g pack. The maker says each bite gives a snap and a rich cocoa hit, and that the pretzels suit people who like their chocolate bold. Salty pretzel against dark chocolate is a familiar pairing of savoury, bitter and sweet.

Pretzels are usually made with wheat flour, so gluten is the question to ask first. The maker says its base chocolate has no gluten but that added ingredients in some products may, and that each product listing states which. This listing does not say either way and gives no ingredient list, so check with the shop if it matters to you.

It is one of 15+ chocolate-coated lines in the shop's Choccy Coated range. The maker also sells a milk chocolate version of the pretzels, which is not listed here. For something sweet rather than salty, try the Dark Chocolate and Honeycomb, the same size.

Made by Little Otto's Big Choc Shop, a chocolate and gelato shop on the Busselton foreshore with its own production room behind an orange wall.

The shop is named for Otto, a blue whale that the maker says was found stranded on a Busselton beach in 1897 and now lives, as a skeleton, at the WA Museum. The maker tells its own playful version of the story on its website.

Seeing it in person

The shop is on Marine Terrace on the Busselton foreshore, next to the jetty (contact page, checked 13 October 2026). It runs free guided factory tours behind its orange wall that end with a tasting, and it asks you to book because places are limited. Opening times are on its site.

Delivery

Little Otto's dispatches online orders within 2 business days by express delivery, which it says typically takes 2 to 5 business days interstate, plus 1 to 2 more to rural or regional areas. It packs orders in insulated bubble wrap with a reusable ice pack for warmer places, and does not post overseas. Click and collect from the Busselton shop is also offered (FAQ, checked 13 October 2026).

Questions

Is there a milk chocolate version?
Yes. The maker lists Milk Chocolate Pretzels in the same 200 g size on its own site.

How should I store it?
Somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight, and in an airtight container if possible, the maker says. Keep it away from strong-smelling food, because chocolate absorbs smells, and note that its chocolate melts at 22 degrees and over.
