New Snacks To Try In 2026

With the US how it is these days, I've been turning to food to cope.

Is it healthy?

No. But I figure it's better than reaching for the booze. I imagine my therapist would stare at me with thin lips and suggest I write in a journal instead of consuming copious amounts of sugar, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. 

I have always loved trying the new foods I spot on grocery store shelves. Companies never fail to create new concoctions.

I love Toaster Strudels. The icing is the absolute best. I'll have these for breakfast. For lunch. For dinner. Whenever. They come in a variety of flavors, but I mostly stick to strawberry. Then I saw this box and knew I had to try them. I am a sucker for all things with sprinkles. 

Oreo is a cookie that always seems to have a new flavor out. Some are delicious. Others? Ick. And with each package getting more and more expensive, I need to be selective of what I purchase. I found this Cookie Dough flavor in the store and passed on it, but I was intrigued.

I've always loved Little Debbie treats. I spotted these, and I did purchase them, because yum. And they are pretty yum. Not as good as the original Oatmeal Cream Pies, but if you like banana, you will enjoy these.

McDonald's has the best fries ever, and I saw they had Hot Honey sauce, so I decided to order it so I could dip my fries. They also have a Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, but I was just after the sauce. And yes, it tastes like Hot Honey. There's a nice kick to it.

If you love Spongebob, they have Kelpo cereal! The packaging is fabulous. It tastes like Corn Pops, so if you like Corn Pops, you'll like these.

I'm a book lover, so when I spotted these conversation hearts, I immediately tossed them in my cart. They taste like the typical conversation hearts, only with book themes on them. 

Calling all Stranger Things fans! They have special ice cream cones. These had a good flavor and would be fun to lick while watching the show. (The first few seasons. The last one was meh.)

Speaking of ice cream, isn't the last bit of the drumstick cone with the chocolate in it the best part? You can get an entire bag of those! They aren't as good as the ice cream cones, probably since they aren't cold, but they are still a scrumptious snack.

I walked past these and did a double take. My eyes caught BUTTERCREAM and CHURRO CHIPS and was like, "Hold up," and abruptly stopped. I mean, I HAD to get them. I had to. And I'm glad I did, because those churro chips are amazing. The frosting was just okay. The churro chips are sweet enough to not need it. Of course I still USED it, because I'm not about to let frosting go to waste...

So, would you try any of these? Or have you?
