WHAT: Jif To Go Dippers

STATS: A Creamy Peanut Butter pack contains 250 calories and 16 fat, 21 carbohydrate, 3 fiber and 8 protein grams. Visit jif.com or facebook.com/jif.

THE SKINNY: Remember the old Reese's commercials? "You got your chocolate on my peanut butter!"

Well, Jif got its peanut butter -- and even chocolate peanut butter -- on our pretzel chips.

The brand recently introduced Jif To Go Dippers, a portable lunchbox-ready snack of Jif peanut butter and pretzel thins for dipping, available in two flavors: Creamy Peanut Butter or Chocolate Silk Peanut Butter (which tastes more peanut butter than chocolate silk).

It's a decent concept with a delightful taste, even if there seems to be a lot of packaging and little product for 250 calories (we tried to count the few circular pretzel chips; alas, several were broken).
