Sweet
Sweet treats, candies, etc. for those with a sweet tooth. :)
These things are SO good and the 5lb bag lasts such a long time! I love getting my candy bulk because it gives me options and usually saves me some money. :)
If you like mint and chocolate, you've got to try these. I could (& maybe have 🤷🏻♀️) eat the whole package in one go.
OREO Mint Creme Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, Family Size, 18.71 oz
You may have forgotten about this fun childhood snack treat and I'm here to remind you of it. 😊
Mother's Circus Animal Cookies - 9oz
In my opinion, this one of those times where the generic is just as good as the name brand. For the price these are a great sweet treat to have around the house, office, etc.
Peach Rings Candy - 7oz - Favorite Day™
Crunchy & Salty
Snacks, chips, crackers, etc. for the salty snacker who is also seeking a little crunch in their snack time.
I can't remember where I was the first time I tried these but they are one of my favorites! I was never a huge Hot Cheetos fan (not sorry 😅) but these are easily my go-to Cheeto flavor.
Cheetos Jalapeno Cheddar Snacks - 8.5oz
These white cheddar Cheetos Puffs are SO good. If you haven't tried these, you're definitely missing out! They are slightly less "airy" than the regular Cheetos Puffs and don't leave your fingers dyed orange (😅).
Cheetos Simply Puffs White Cheddar - 12oz
My favorite chip for as long as I can remember. Doritos are a classic that never gets old.
Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavored Party Size Tortilla Chips - 14.5oz
The Cool Ranch flavor Doritos were always one of the first to go from the Variety Pack when I was growing up. It's a classic with a still classic twist. :)
Doritos Cool Ranch Flavor Party Size Tortilla Chips - 14.5oz
"The snack that smiles back" in its absolute best form (in my opinion).
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Flavor Blasted Extra Cheddar Snack Crackers
Lunchbox Staples
Who doesn't love snacks in cute shapes? Annie's bunnies are always so good no matter what type of snack you're enjoying. This variety pack gives 3 different options which gives options and allows for some variety.
Annie's Homegrown Variety Snack Pack - 12ct/11oz
They aren't the Xtra Cheddar Flavor Blasted flavor but these individual to-go packs are the perfect "lunchbox" snack. 😊
If you can't decide between Pirate's Booty and Annie's Bunnies, why not get both? 🤷🏻♀️ This variety pack offers so many different options for lunch/snack time.
Pirate's Booty Grab & Go Variety Pack Chips - 14oz/18ct
Peanut butter on crackers is such a simple and satisfying snack. I love these little minis, they give just the perfect bite of sweet, crunchy, and salty.
Organic Mini Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers - 8oz/8ct - Good & Gather™
These Hello Panda snacks are definitely a favorite! They are sweet without being overly sweet. They're also super cute! 🐼
Hello Panda Chocolate Snack Box - 9oz/12ct
Fruit Pouches
If I could live off of fruit pouches alone I would! I love that they are portable, can be thrown in a bag or the car (and be left there awhile), and are extremely easy to enjoy on the go. I cannot eat bananas so all of these flavors are banana free.
I LOVE fruit pouches and would live off of them if I could! This strawberry apple flavor is one of my all-time favorites.
Applesauce Pouches Strawberry - 12ct - Good & Gather™
If you're a fruit pouch lover or you're shopping for someone who is these are a must try! In my opinion, the Prehistoric Peach is the best flavor, that may only be because the Triceratops is the best dinosaur though...
GoGo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ No Sugar Added Applesauce and Puree Dino Jurassic Pear Roarrr Berry & Prehistoric Peach Variety Pack - 3.2oz/20ct
If you're trying to add some more greens to your diet (or someone else's) this is an easy way to get those extra greens in. It doesn't taste like spinach but does have more of a "brown-ish" color than just the Apple Strawberry.
Organic Apple Strawberry Spinach Fruit Puree Applesauce Pouches - 38.04oz/12ct - Good & Gather™
It may just be me but there's something so warm and cozy about the Apple Cinnamon flavor. This is one of my favorite flavors and hits a little differently than the regular fruit/veg flavors.
Good & Gather Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree Applesauce Pouches - 12ct - Good & Gather™
This is another solid flavor! If you couldn't already tell, Target has one of the best flavor selections when it comes to fruit pouches.
Organic Apple Peach Mango Fruit Puree Applesauce Pouches - 38.04oz/12ct - Good & Gather™
Sweet & Sour
Snacks and treats that are the perfect blend of sweet and sour together.
I love sour patch kids. The perfect amount of sweet and sour. And I love buying my candy in bulk because it gives me options and usually helps me save some money. :)
SOUR PATCH KIDS Soft & Chewy Candy 5 lb
In my opinion, this is one of the times where the general is just as good as the name brand. These mini sour gummy worms are mostly sweet and provide just a tad bit of sour.
Sour Gummi Worms Candy - 7oz - Favorite Day™
If you haven't tried Albanese gummies and love sour gummies, you've got to pick some of these up ASAP! The texture and consistency of these gummies is so satisfying and the little bit of sour is perfect.
