Martin’s Pretzels, $23
These dense, crunchy pretzels, made by hand by a Pennsylvania Dutch family, are to the plain old variety as a perfectly chewy French baguette is to a Kwik-E-Mart impostor. Choose a three-pound tin of the lightly salted or low-sodium version and turn your friends and family into pretzel gourmets.
