Am I the only one that hates chocolate pretzels?

Just have few then.

I don't mind the inclusion of the pretzel, but just dark chocolate and sea salt together are a fabulous taste sensation. Both enhance the flavor of the other such that the sum is much greater than the parts. But then, dark chocolate [the higher the percentage of cocoa butter, the better, and the less sugar, the better] is a major food group.

For example: a Christmas card I once composed, printed and sent:

Think it not strange if heaven has a care

To justice, good, forthright and fair,

If, after our Lord bring us there,

He'll serve us chocolate all seasons of the year.

and the next year:

And it's name shall be Wonderful, Confectioner,

The Mighty Good, the Everlasting Flavor,

The Prince of Pieces.

Pretzels are good but chocolate strawberries are waaayyy better
