Popcorn Indiana Netflix Swoonworthy Cinnamon Kettle
Score: 5.5 / 10
A light dusting of cinnamon and sugar covers these fairly crunchy popcorns. I wouldn’t say it’s your traditional kettle-caramel texture; instead, it’s a tad less crunchy than that but still solid enough. There’s also slightly more cinnamon than sugar. Overall, these are decently sweet and make for a good treat, although personally, I wouldn’t mind a little more sugar as I love sweets.
Released mid-2024. Found at Walmart.
Pathos Peanut Butter Cream Wafer Rolls
Score: 7.5 / 10
I expected these to be as sweet as other wafer rolls but these genuinely feel like they have authentic, thick peanut butter in the center. Indeed, this peanut butter is your typical, sweet jarred peanut butter you’d find in a store–Skippy, for example. The outside shell is super soft and works well with the peanut butter.
I’m not sure when this was released. Found at Ocean State Job Lot.
Pathos Lemon Cream Wafer Rolls
Score: 7.5 / 10
This hosts a moderately sweet, slightly punchy lemon taste from the soft inside creme. This is complimented nicely by the soft, biscuity wafer. Overall, these are very tasty and quite refreshing to eat, and frankly, even if you hate lemon, you may still very well like these.

Clancy’s Cupid’s Crunch Snack Mix
Score: 7.5 / 10
Three different types of snacks are in this package mixed together: chocolate sandwich cookies, dipped pretzels, and caramel corn. The mini-coated sandwich cookies remind me of a less sweet fudge-covered Oreo; they’re good and sweet but feel cheap. Similarly, the coated pretzels taste cheap and are mostly like pretzels as the coating doesn’t add much flavor aside from some sweetness. Though, it adds a small bit of soft creaminess. Lastly, the caramel popcorn tastes like the ones you get in most tins: sweet, smooth, and crunchy, and maybe a tinge sweeter as they have a small drizzle of red goo.
Overall, this pack is a nice combination of different snacks and flavors. It’s definitely for people who enjoy sweets and crunchy foods.
Likely released in early 2024 according to reviews. Found at Aldi.
Choceur Red Velvet Cookies & Cream Bark and Strawberries & Cream Bark
Score: 7.5 / 10 (for both)
Both of the barks aren’t super crunchy like traditional bark, in fact, they’re soft, a bit softer than a regular chocolate bar. The shape is also similar to a chocolate bar.
Red Velvet: A pleasantly sweet and creamy red velvet flavor. There are also light crunches from embedded candy pieces. There isn’t much else to say!
Strawberry: A bit sweeter than the Red Velvet, it’s especially creamy, like you’re biting into a strawberry with extra sugar and a layer of white chocolate. These really resemble Lindt strawberry-flavored truffles.
Released January 2025 for the Valentine’s season. Found at Aldi.
Zachary Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Eggs
Score: 9 / 10
I absolutely love these cheap little things; they’re so satisfying to eat! A sweet, thin, dark chocolate coats the outside of the super artificial sweet marshmallow, which has an odd but satisfying texture. This texture isn’t like regular marshmallows; instead, it’s less gooey and more like a thick, soft cream. Combined with the thin crunch of the shell, it’s pretty darn good! Definitely get these if you like cheap, sweet, tasty candy!
Not sure of a release date, although these have been around for some time. Found at Walmart.
Marketside Bourbon Pecan Pie
Score: 7.5 / 10
This is more or less the same as their pecan pie but with a bitter bourbon aftertaste. At first, I thought it was some weird, artificial fakeness happening, but it’s definitely a bourbon flavoring. Honestly, despite loving bourbon, I’m not sure if I like it here. I’d much rather just buy their regular pecan pie, which doesn’t have me questioning what that odd aftertaste is.
Nonetheless, the pie is reasonably sweet with a pecan taste. What’s especially nice is the thick caramel-like, gooey inside texture that sits below the top layer of pecans, which is satisfying to chew through both warm and especially chilled when it becomes a soft-hard texture. However, the crust feels so cheap! It’s simply too thin and dry.
While I’m not sure of the exact release date, reviews date back to around 2019.
Great Value Crunchy Churro Twists
Score: 5 / 10
Puffy but still providing a moderate crunch. These come across as more plain than I’d like. The cinnamon and sugar are there, but it’s too light. Also, weirdly, there’s an odd background taste, almost like they picked up flavor from the bag itself. I’ve had substantially better, especially from Taco Bell and other companies.
While I’m not sure of an exact release date, reviews date back to around 2024.
Peeps Jelly Beans
Score: 5.5 / 10
These are quite chewy for jelly beans! The flavor is also a little different, being moderately sweet and less sweet overall versus traditional jelly beans. The flavors also all taste similar, although there is a slight variation. They all come across as artificial and not too much what they advertise themselves as. For the most part, they’re all light-sugary tasting. Personally, I prefer regular jelly beans.
While I’m not sure of an exact release date, reviews date back to around 2021. Found at Walmart.
