Available for a limited time starting on 10/21/19.

Bon Appétit pastry chef Claire Saffitz takes a stab at replicating one of our favorite guilty pleasures, Pop-Tarts. We’ve had some gourmet hand pies before, but never one that looked as accurate, tasty, or toaster-friendly as Claire’s.

A look inside the factory where The Piping Gourmets make their gluten-free whoopie pies. While mixing up the ingredients is a pretty mundane task, we loved watching the machines that precisely squirt out the cake batter and frosting. We also love the way the narrator says “whoo-pee.”

Love you some Pringles? Just remember that next time you chow down on one of those neatly-stacked, perfect potato chips, you’re actually eating a delicious pressed, formed, and precision-cut mush of potato flakes. They’re like the Chicken McNuggets of chips.

Say cheers to Hilliard’s Craft Beer Brittle. Cooked in copper kettles, and packed with crunchy spanish peanuts, fresh brewed beer from the Shovel Town Brewery creates a buttery, nutty flavor with enough hoppiness to balance things out. Perfect for microbrew fans.

Looking for something a little different from ordinary caramel and cheese corn? Look no further than HR Poppin’ Snacks popcorn. They come in tasty flavors like S’mores, cookie dough, PB&J, lemon drop, root beer float, strawberry vanilla, and even Mountain Dew.

KIND’s first foray into savory protein snacks are a real winner. They taste delicious, and remind us more of a meal than sweet bars. Flavors include roasted jalapeno, honey mustard, thai sweet chili, hickory smoked, and honey smoked BBQ.

Combining the spicy, vinegary hot sauce flavor of Buffalo Wild Wings with the crunch of Ruffles, these delicious deep-ridged potato chips are a gift from the gods of snack food. Great with ranch dip or right out of the bag.

Chips Ahoy! have been releasing a bevy of exciting new flavors for our mouth holes lately. Their latest offering, Brownie Filled Chewy Chips Ahoy! is a hopefully delicious dalliance between chocolate chip cookies and brownies.

The Kale Factory’s healthy dried kale chips taste as good as junk food, in flavors like vegan cheese, sea salt & vinegar, bombay ranch and spicy miso. Once you’ve devoured them, reuse the wood gift box.

Unlike jalapeno-flavored chips, Deano’s Jalapeno Chips are made of deep-fried, fresh jalapeno slices. They come in cheddar, sea salt and ranch. Sounds like a great snack or burger/salad topping.
