The Super Bowl is coming up this weekend and whether you are really excited about the game or just want to hang out with friends during the event, you are going to need something to munch on throughout the evening. And if you happen to want some snacks that bring the heat, I have you covered here with a list of ten spicy snacks that can kick up any Super Bowl party. Feel free to mix and match or add some of your own ideas. And also be sure to...
Bottom Line: Doritos Spicy Nacho Dip is pretty good for a canned cheese sauce and it brings a bit of a kick.
The big game day is coming up and it is time to start stocking up on snacks to satisfy your munchies while the players are out there fighting for the championship. And if you are looking for snacks that have a kick, there are plenty of options to choose from. (In fact, watch for a post next week with some suggestions.) And if you have...
Bottom Line: Popcorners Spicy Queso chips do not have too much heat, but they still offer a tasty snack with a little kick that is a healthier option than standard chips.
If you are trying to drop a few pounds this time of year but still craving something tasty to snack on, it can be tough. Carrot sticks and celery sticks just don’t cut it, and rice cakes taste like Styrofoam no matter what seasoning is added to them. But Popcorners has an...
Bottom Line: Kettle Brand Air Fried Jalapeno Potato Chips are not too hot, but they are still pretty good for a healthy snacking option.
It’s the New Year and time to get healthy! That means veggie smoothies and steamed fish and lots of raw greens and . . . we all know that we’re not going to stick with that. But there are at least some healthier options out there that may help when combating the battle of the bulge. And that includes some...
Bottom Line: Julio’s Freakin’ Hot Corn Chips deliver a superior tortilla chip that blends good taste with plenty of heat.
There are lots of tortilla chips on the store shelves, and many people have a hard time getting past the big names like Doritos and Tostitos. But if you look a little bit further, you may find Julio’s Corn Tortilla Chips which are made by a family-run business in Del Rio, Texas. I had previously bought their original...
Bottom Line: Screamin’ Sriracha Doritos bring the flavor of the sauce with some nice heat and should be more widely available in the stores.
There are lots and lots of Doritos flavors out there, but not enough that really bring the heat. Sure, you can always find a bag of Flamin’ Hot, but to me those are more sour than hot and I’m not a big fan of the flavor. The Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch offer a decent twist (more on those here), but they...
Bottom Line: Flamin’ Hot Sweet Carolina Reaper Cheetos deliver on the heat and taste without the excessive sourness you get from standard Flamin’ Hot products.
I am not a fan of classic Cheetos as I much prefer the cheese puff version. And as I have mentioned many times on this site, I am not a fan of the Frito-Lay Flamin’ Hot flavor. It is more sour than hot, especially the Limon version, and I just don’t find the taste appealing. But...
Bottom Line: The Fiery Chile Limon chips appear to be Paqui’s answer to the Lays Flamin’ Hot, and I consider these a much superior chip that brings the heat.
I have covered Paqui chips several times on this site and recently found a bag of the Fiery Chile Limon in my local CVS (surprisingly a good place for spicy snacks) and decided to give them a try. On the bag, they offer the following promise:
Made with a bold combination of red hot...
Bottom Line: The Gold Emblem Extreme Hot Honey BBQ Cashews are the perfect blend of sweet and smokey with a nice kick of heat as a bonus.
CVS Pharmacy may not be the place you think of as a go-to location for spicy snacks, but as I have written about on this site before, it is worth taking a look around the store next time you pick up your prescription. They might have varieties from the major brands that you don’t usually find on the shelves...
Bottom Line: The H-E-B Habanero Salsa Tortilla Chips deliver a full-flavored snack with a punch of heat, if you get a good bag.
H-E-B is a grocery store chain commonly seen throughout Texas and they practically own the market here in San Antonio. They have their exclusive brand of products which include quite a number of flavored chips that tend to come out with seasonal, limited-edition varieties throughout the year. Just recently they released...
