Herr’s Baby Back Ribs Chips
Score: 6.5 / 10

Thick and crunchy, and the taste is definitely reminiscent of ribs slathered in typical BBQ sauce. These chips are meaty and smoky and have a tasty BBQ flavor that is much different from other meaty and BBQ chips. If you’re into ribs, you’ll very much enjoy these!
Not sure when this was released. Found at Dollar Tree.
Dollar Tree Marshmallow Hearts
Score: 5 / 10

It’s mostly a regular marshmallow but slightly more stiff. The lettering on top is crunchy, which adds texture. Taste-wise, it tastes like a normal marshmallow with the slightest hint of bitterness from the dye, offsetting how pleasant it is to eat.
While I’m not sure of a release date, they may have been released in January 2025.
Peeps Tropical Punch
Score: 6 / 10

Surprisingly refreshing! It genuinely tastes like a tropical fruit punch, but it is nothing too artificial or fake, either. I can’t point to exactly what kind of fruit it is; it’s like a mix of them. Flavor aside, the texture is identical to that of other peeps.
It was likely first released in January 2035, but it may have been a rebrand of a previous flavor. Found at Dollar Tree.
Pepperidge Farm Milano Strawberry, Lemon, and Coconut White Chocolate Cookies
Scores
Lemon: 8 / 10
Coconut: 7 / 10
Strawberry: 7.5 / 10

Texture-wise, despite not a lot of inner filling, they are very soft, easy to bite through, and feel premium. They’re soft biscuits that don’t come across as dry.
Lemon: The lemon is refreshingly sweet without being all that punchy, and combined with the equally light creamy white chocolate, it’s a great combination. The buttery soft wafers also provide a great addition to the flavor.
Coconut: I can’t get over the fact these taste like artificial coconut flavoring. It’s on the stronger side and feels artificial. It’s sort of creamy from the inner filling, but unfortunately, the coconut is just a bit too much.
Strawberry: On the initial bite, I get a good bit of pleasant strawberry flavor that isn’t too artificial, then chewing through, it goes away quickly, leaving a creamy white chocolate strawberry. Like the Lemon flavor, these are quite refreshing!
Released in late January 2025.
ShopRite Bowl & Basket Churro, S’mores, & Birthday Cake Cookie Thins
Scores
Birthday Cake: 7 / 10
S’mores: 7.5 / 10
Churro: 6 / 7

Birthday Cake: They’re crunchy and on the drier side. The taste is clearly vanilla birthday cake and reminds me of a crunchy, buttery sugar cookie. Definitely enjoyable, especially if you like vanilla or birthday cake flavors.
S’mores: the cookie itself is a blend of chocolate marshmallow and graham/cookie flavor. I especially like how the chocolate flavor is stronger than the other two because, in real smores, chocolate usually overpowers the others. Note: It has a milk chocolate flavor. Other than that, the few bits in the crunchy cookie are soft, although there aren’t too many to make that much of a difference:
Churro: Churro? Eh, not really. It’s a lightly dusted, crunchy cinnamon sugar cookie. It’s not very sweet nor cinnamony enough to really be super enjoyable. It’s just okay and tolerable.
These were likely released around September 2024. Found at Price Rite.
Subway Oreo Footlong Cookie
Score: 7 / 10

A decently sweet, soft, and moist dark chocolate cookie. The taste almost resembles an Oreo cookie, except the white stuff in the middle is completely bland. This filling is thick, and the texture resembles a thicker, stretchy marshmallow fluff. If they could just improve the white filling by making it sweeter and creamier, this would be so much better!
Released late January 2025.
Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Donuts
Score: 7 / 10

These are really close in flavor to their typical frosted donuts. The difference is that these also have a faint creamy, vanilla, strawberry taste. Other than that, they feel a bit cheap, with a semi-dry texture and cheap-feeling frosted coating. I wish these were sweeter, too!
Not sure when this was released, although it’s likely a Valentine’s season exclusive. Found at Walmart.
