Best Gluten-Free Arrival
These GF tortillas have that signature sourdough tang. Heat them in a skillet for the best texture.
Best New Condiment Mash-up
This giardiniera-mayonnaise hybrid is the ultimate upgrade for a burger. Calabrian chiles give it a distinctive kick.
Hottest New Candy
You were warned: The new version of these gummies is shockingly spicy. But the ’90s nostalgia makes the pain worthwhile!
Smartest New Baking Shortcut
No measuring required: Snip the corner of this pouch, pipe it into pans and bake. Bonus: The batter is dairy-, egg- and nut-free!
Best New Snack for Pickle Fans
This briny twist on the brand’s beloved spreadable cheese tastes great on a snack board (try it with pretzels) or on a sandwich.
Trend Alert: Dye-Free Makeovers
The old-school fave has an all-natural new look. These snacks are made with fruit juice and contain 25 percent less sugar than classic Jell-O.
These “naked” chips get their familiar hue from ingredients like tomato powder, but they still deliver the cool ranch flavor you know and love.
Can we get an “Oh yeah”? This zero-sugar drink mix is the first colored Kool-Aid powder made without artificial dyes.
Punchiest New Chip Flavor
These chips are seasoned with vinegar, spices and powdered cabbage, and they deliver that spicy-sour kick that makes kimchi so craveable.
Zestiest New Seasoning
These bright, bold salts, available in black lime, lemon and sweet heat, will add a boost to any dish. But they’re especially great on the rims of margarita glasses!
Trendiest New Breakfast
We thought we'd tasted Dubai chocolate in every imaginable form, but granola is a new one! Tasters loved the salty-sweet crunch and strong pistachio flavor.
Coolest New Frozen Treat
Breakfast, meet dessert! This smart pairing comes in two fan-favorite flavors: s'mores and cookies-and-cream. Just one bite will take you back to childhood.
Most Flavorful New Nut Mix
A good dose of yuzu gives this mix a floral, citrusy flavor. Add a pile to a cheese board or grab a single-serve pouch if you’re on the go.
Smartest New Collab
A beloved cheesy snack just showed up for taco night. Stuff these Cheez-It shells with your favorite fillings and, of course, more cheese!
Trend Alert: Protein Snacks
Next time you need chocolate, reach for these: You’ll get protein and whole grains too.
This Parmesan-garlic mix clocks in at 10 grams of protein per serving.
The sweetest new way to get your protein fix comes from Khloé Kardashian.

A flavored creamer can really transform your morning coffee. This one is subtly sweet, with warm spices and vanilla.
Best New Sweet-and-Salty Combo
Satisfy all your snack cravings in one tiny bite! These dipped and drizzled little crackers also come in a chocolate variety.
Most Exciting New Noodles
This instant version of Sichuan street food is a revelation. Whip up a packet for a late-night snack, or toss in some veggies and protein for a quick meal.
Best New Microwave Meal
This standout dish, ready in just 3 1/2 minutes, comes from newcomer Těm Tóa, America’s first frozen brand exclusively dedicated to Thai cuisine.
Best New Movie-Night Hack
Popcorn just tastes better at the movie theater, unless you have this magical seasoning! Sprinkle it on your popcorn and it’ll taste like the real deal.
Most Nostalgic New Mocktail
This take on the old-fashioned drink has just four grams of sugar, but it nails the classic flavor with a blend of tart cherry, white grape, lemon and lime juices.
Trend Alert: Gourmet Boxed Mac
This garlicky, basil-y mac is loaded with protein; the noodles are made with chickpeas!
Think of this as the ultimate mash-up of mac and cheese and French onion soup!
Serve your mac and cheese with a Tex-Mex kick: The sauce has a mild heat that even kids can handle.
