Available in Chocolate and Cinnamon Sugar, new Pop-Tarts Pretzel combines sweet and salty in every bite – and is the perfect snack any time of day.

"The commercials were always THE Big Game that I was tuning in for growing up, and this year is the most surreal ever because I'm the star of the Pop-Tarts ad," said Jonathan Van Ness. "Who knew that pretzels could be such a diva? I couldn't be happier to help this salty classic show-off its sweet side with new Pop-Tarts Pretzel on one of the biggest snacking days of the year."

Football fans don't have to wait until after the Big Game to enjoy Pop-Tarts Pretzel – the new sweet and salty Toaster Pastries are available now at stores nationwide for $3.49.

"When it comes to 'bringing out your best', nobody does it better than Jonathan Van Ness – so it was only natural for Pop-Tarts to enlist him to help 'fix' the classic pretzel and introduce Pop-Tarts Pretzel," said Phil Schaffer, senior director of marketing, Pop-Tarts. "Already a loyal brand advocate, Jonathan's upbeat personality is a natural fit to help Pop-Tarts unveil our latest craveable flavors."
