SuperPretzel Original Soft Pretzels

SuperPretzel Original Soft Pretzels

What Is It: Frozen pretzels meant to be heated up to make soft pretzels. Salt is also included.

Packaging: It comes in a black box with a pretzel on the front. I like it. Kind of a classic look.

8 out of 10

Taste: This is a classic snack for me. They can be either oven baked or microwaved with the results being fairly similar. They have a nice puffy texture which is really good for these. It always reminds me of being at a carnival. You sprinkle the salt that they give you on there and you're good to go. If you want to take them to an even higher level then some mustard dip or queso cheese and you have a fantastic combination. High recommendation.

Big Russ Premium Beer Cheese Hot

Big Russ Premium Beer Cheese Hot

What Is It: A tub of hot beer cheese. Duh.

Packaging: A pretty standard looking tub with the name of the product and the state of Kentucky since it's made there. Good enough.

6 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis: Ok other than my mom's this is by far my favourite beer cheese I've ever had. It has a great cheddar flavour but they add in a ton of beer flavour and even though I don't drink alcohol at all it is so good in this context. I like to buy a loaf of pumpernickel rye and go to town. It's one of my go to's as a snack. It's kind of pricey at 4.99 a tub but it's worth every penny. I love it.

Rold Gold Cheddar Twists

Rold Gold Cheddar Twists

What Is It: Cheddar flavoured twisty pretzels.

Packaging: It comes in a yellow bag with some product pictures in the middle. Good enough.

6 out of 10

Taste: Well this is pretty simple. If you like cheddar and you like pretzels then you will like these. This variation is the actually baked in version as opposed to the powder version which really takes the cheddar to another level. It's kind of cool to spread different spreads on here to make some cool combinations as well. Solid product.

Kroger Havarti Cheese

Kroger Havarti Cheese

What Is It: The Kroger store brand of Havarti Cheese.

Packaging: It comes in a blue package with a clear portion in the middle to see the cheese. Good enough.

6 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis: Havarti cheese is a kinda buttery tasting cheese with a bit of sharp edge to it kinda like swiss but not as sharp. It's great for melting, or for lunchmeat sandwiches, or just eating it straight. There may be better, more authentic versions in the deli counter but this is a pretty good version.

Life Savers Gummies

Life Savers Gummies

What Is It: Life Saver flavoured gummy candy. Cherry, orange, strawberry, watermelon, and green apple are included.

Packaging: Like their hard candy counterparts this bag is like holding a rainbow (sorry Skittles). So many colours and so much cool little artwork. Perfect marks here.

10 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis: These were really good. All of the flavours were dead on the hard candy version although pineapple was noticeably absent here. Cherry and orange were my two favourites as usual but all of the flavours were spot on. I wouldn't be upset to have these in my Christmas stocking.

Totino's Stuffed Nachos Queso

Totino's Stuffed Nachos Queso

What Is It: A frozen triangular shape pizza roll type thing only this one is nacho style. It is filled with queso cheese.

Packaging: It comes in a very festive looking yellow box. It has big fluorescent sign sort of logo in the center which looks really cool. There's a few product pictures spread around as well.

9 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis: Normally when I think of Totinos I think of inexpensive frozen pizzas or pizza rolls. Well this was a unique take on the pizza roll making a taco/nacho type thing. The queso wasn't terrible but I think they should have gone with more cheese flavour and less whatever other "queso" flavour that they had here. It ended up with kind of a wierd flavour that was not the best. This product was close to being great but kind of misses the mark.

Hershey's Kisses Candy Cane

Hershey's Kisses Candy Cane

What Is It: Peppermint flavoured Kisses that look like candy canes.

Packaging: A very festive looking bag with white trimmed with red and white candy cane colours with three big kisses pictured. I like it.

9 out of 10

Taste/Final Analysis: One of the great things about the Christmas season is holiday candy and this is one of the best. The Kiss itself is mostly white chocolate with some peppermint mixed in for the candy cane effect. It really is magnificently done. If you see these I definitely recommend picking them up. You won't regret it.

Chips Ahoy Chewy

Chips Ahoy Chewy

What Is It: Chewy chocolate chip cookies.

Packaging: It comes in a red package with a picture of a cookie with a bite taken out of it. Looks good enough.

6 out of 10

Taste: This is a darn good cookie. It has great chewy texture which is exactly what was advertised. Rubbery in the best possible way. And a great chocolate to dough ratio makes sure you get the flavours of both. Great effort as usual by Chips Ahoy.

Ore Ida Tater Tots

Ore Ida Tater Tots

What Is It: Frozen tater tots.

Packaging: It comes in a red bag with the tater tots pictures on it. Gets the job done.

6 out of 10

Taste: These were some darn good tater tots. Assuming you cook it properly they have great crunch and great flavour as well. I love so many dips with them such as ketchup, ranch, hot sauce, or bbq sauce. I probably missed some but you get the idea. Great product for a dinner side or snack.

Life Savers

Life Savers

What Is It: A roll of one of most classic of all hard candies. The hole in the center gives it it's "Life Savers" name in that you would have an airway if you choke. Flavours include cherry, raspberry, orange, grape, watermelon, and pineapple.

Packaging: One of the coolest looking candy wrappers you'll find as they have all the colours of the flavours in the pack as well as some life saver artwork. Classic stuff.

10 out of 10

Taste: This is the perfect work candy for me. I stick a roll of these in my pocket and it's inconspicuous and will last me most of my shift. Cherry as usual is my favourite followed closely by the orange. The others are all worthy as well with the pineapple kind of being the most unique of those. Definitely no downside to picking up this legendary candy.
