Fans of Cheetos Flamin’ Hot flavor will warm right up to this tart, slightly sweet take.

Takis devotees will love this popcorn; it’s dusted with the same orange-red powder.

Chicken meatballs with Buffalo sauce are a great game-day app, and everyone can dig into these veggie versions.

Hold the hot sauce! These meatless nuggets have a serious kick on their own.

These O’s made with Frank’s RedHot were created with heat-loving adults in mind.

This jerky is covered in the same spicy-sweet chili dust as the popular Doritos.

Try ketchup with a hit of chipotle (medium hot), jalapeño (hot) or habanero (really hot).

Fire-roasted tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers come together in this salsa from the famous hot sauce maker.

Pair this creamy dip with your chip of choice for a satisfying snack—and a small serving of cauliflower!

Unpaid Endorsements

Food Network stars gush about their favorite supermarket buys.

Jeni's Ice Cream

Jeni's Ice Cream is a must. The Salty Caramel is unlike anything I've ever had—it's salty, toasty and irresistibly smooth.

—Kardea Brown

Snack Factory Everything Pretzel Crisps

I always need to be stocked up on Snack Factory Everything Pretzel Crisps—I love them with different dips.

—Brooke Williamson

Dan-O's Seasoning

When I'm shopping, I'm thinking about my family! Dan-O's Seasoning is great for adding quick flavor to meals that feed the 10 of us.

—Darnell Ferguson

Chobani Yogurt

I pick up plain Greek yogurt—Chobani or Fage—because yogurt is the duct tape of dairy products! You can use it as a sub-in for many other dairy products.

—Molly Yeh

Rao's Homemade Marinara

Rao's Homemade Marinara is a staple in our house. It's the ultimate multitasker for spaghetti and meatballs or lasagna and it works as pizza sauce in a pinch.

—Jet Tila

Triscuits

Triscuits are my absolute favorite cracker. I put Dijon mustard, a slice of extra-sharp cheddar cheese and cornichons on top—it's my go-to snack.

—Anne Burrell

Add to Cart

These are the groceries our editors grab every time.

Icelandic Provisions Skyr Icelandic Yogurt

—Kelsey Hurwitz, Associate Features Editor

Heluva Good! French Onion Dip

"If I could choose only one salty snack to eat for the rest of my life, it would be barbecue potato chips with a healthy helping of this French onion dip."

—Carol Lee, Editorial Assistant

California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil

"I always keep a bottle of this light, herby everyday olive oil by my stove. It's flavorful enough to drizzle on pasta or pizza or shake into a vinaigrette. And it can handle heat!"

—Lizzy Briskin, Food Editor

Dot's Homestyle Pretzels

"These pretzels are coated in a seasoning blend that makes it nearly impossible to stop eating them once you've started. They're perfect on their own or dipped in hummus."

—Mariah Schlossmann, Editorial Business Manager

Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese

"This cheese is deliciously nutty, and it's my go-to for quesadillas and grilled cheeses. But my favorite way to eat it? Sliced on a Triscuit—simply perfect!"

—Teri Tsang Barrett, Deputy Food Editor

Seapoint Farms Edamame

"I reach for edamame whenever I'm craving a snack. It's like a bag of chips, but green and healthy!"
