All of the fun holiday food and snackies are now finally hitting the shelves in stores! This is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. It's always a good time stocking up your favorite holiday snacks + it's a given that you have to try out some new ones every year too! I'm still keeping an eye on what else comes out but I wanted to share what I've found so far. I know seasonal items usually sell out fast so you have to jump on them early!
Even worse is when you can't find something to begin with! Last year I looked EVERYWHERE for the Nestle Santa's Cookies cookie dough and it was nowhere to be found in my area/region. I was devastated, ya'll AND super pissed off at the grocery store/Wal-mart/Target buyers for my town, lollllll. Arguably this might be the most viral cookie dough I've seen over the last 5-10 years (and just sounds amazing?!) and NOT ONE of them thought let's add this to the lineup?? STRAIGHT TO JAIL.
I wasn't playing around this year and thank goodness neither were the folks at Target a few towns over!! I happily drove myself on over and WE GOT THEM! I TOOK NINE (*four*) so it better live up to the hype! In all seriousness, I'm so excited to finally have them and I know they'll be delicious!
A favorite from last year that I repurchased are these adorable Holiday Ritz Crackers. I loved these! From what I remember, they aren't really like the regular Ritz crackers. I think the texture and taste is different but still yummy and so cute. I love making the crispy Boursin cheese during the holidays and these go great with it.
I also found a lot of the holiday versions of things I already enjoy. Outside of a Reese's cup, the Sander's Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels might be my favorite candy. They're such a simple concept that they make just right. For the holidays, they released this Dark Chocolate Peppermint version as well as a White Chocolate Sugar Cookie. The Candy Cane Icebreakers are also back- definitely worth buying.
Clean Simple Eats came out with some holiday flavors in their protein powder: White Chocolate Peppermint and Snickerdoodle. I love that Target sells the single packs so you can try out the flavor. I also loved this little Nello Calm kit- it has the Raspberry Lemonade, Blue Coconut and seasonal Spiced Apple. It didn't make it in the photo but I couldn't pass up the Barebells Peppermint Bark protein bar- they are my favorite and I've never had this flavor.
Also new to me are these Heavenly Hunks. I've always wanted to try them out and this new Cranberry White Chip flavor sounded yummy! Very fun and festive!
