Chocturnal fixes the coarse texture I found in Butterbear and tastes like real chocolate. Unfortunately, its muted chocolate flavor still leaves me with little reason to buy another $8 pint.
Ice Cream for Bears’s Butterbear comes with a premium price and a honey-sweetened premise, but the flavor doesn’t live up to either. Its butterscotch-caramel character is mild, unconvincing, and difficult to recommend.
Snyder’s Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzel Pieces are crunchy, salty, tangy, and loaded with Buffalo sauce flavor. They’re one of the best Buffalo-flavored snacks I’ve tried.
Goldfish Mega Bites Cheddar Jalapeño crackers bring noticeable jalapeño flavor, mild heat, and just enough cheese to make the combo work. They’re not Snacks Hall of Fame material, but they’re good enough to buy again.
The bottom of the chip bag betrayed you. Redeem it with two easy recipes that turn dusty fragments into crunchy, melty greatness.
Simply Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn has nice corn flavor and a real cheddar taste. It’s a decent snack—but it needs more cheese.
Most cheese snacks are only mildly cheesy. Sonoma Creamery Cheese Crisps are different—made with real cheese as the first and second ingredient. Crispy, simple, and amazingly satisfying.
Mix Cheerios with Three Wishes Marshmallow cereal for a Lucky Charms–style bowl with about 60% less sugar. Simple, nostalgic, and surprisingly close to the original.

Goldfish Spicy Dill Pickle Crisps are a light, airy, chip-like snack with a spot-on spicy dill flavor. Here’s why they’re so addictive—and so easy to keep reaching for.
