This month we\u2019re snacking on two types of puffs, flavor-packed protein chips, and cheddar chicken crackers (yes, you read that right). Welcome to our column, where we give you the lowdown on all of the best new(ish) to market snacks that have come across our desks this month. By August 1, 2026, that means dill pickle-flavored puffs, crackers made from chicken, and the protein chips our whole team can\u2019t stop eating.<\/p>\n
Snackish is a new chip brand from the founder of SmartSweets, and it won my whole team over the minute we tore into our first bag. The chips are made from a base of dried potato, potato protein, rice protein, cassava fiber, and potato starch, which means they lean more Pringles than Lays, and have an impressive eight grams of protein per serving. They\u2019re extremely crunchy and very generously seasoned\u2014if you\u2019re the kind of person who\u2019s known to fish through the bag in search of the most well-coated chips, you\u2019ll love these. I\u2019m partial to the Jalape\u00f1o Kick and Vinegar Rush flavors, but all five are worth a spot in your snack stash. \u2014 Shopping writer<\/p>\n
I know crackers made from chicken breast sound bizarre, but hear me out. Our team has been longtime fans of Wilde, so I was excited to see the brand turn its signature chicken-and-egg-white base into Cheez-It-style crackers. Unlike most cheese cracker imitators I\u2019ve tried, these actually satisfy the same craving, thanks to real cheddar and Parmesan that deliver plenty of savory, umami flavor. The Gouda variety has a surprisingly smoky richness that pairs with the chicken base, but Hot Honey has become the office favorite for its balance of sweetness and heat. I\u2019ve caught myself absentmindedly polishing off an entire bag at my desk more than once, then immediately reaching for another flavor. \u2014 Senior shopping editor<\/p>\n
While all of Little Spoon\u2019s snacks proudly are marked “toddler approved,” they are also Kate- and BA team-approved. Their new peanut puffs, which come in both original peanut butter and peanut butter and strawberry variations, are our team\u2019s current obsession. They get their peanut flavor from peanut flour and their fluffy crunch from a mixture of sorghum meal, chickpea flour, and avocado oil. Plus, I love that they\u2019re sweetened with date powder. I might not have a toddler to feed these to, but if I did, the ingredients would pass the peanut-mom (get it?) test\u2014and, most importantly, the puffs are simply downright delicious. \u2014 Editorial operations manager<\/p>\n
Dill is without a doubt my favorite herb. Whenever there is a dill-pickle-flavored snack to be had, I\u2019m on it. That said, I am very picky. Oftentimes the dill flavor is too artificial, or the texture of the snack gets in the way of the flavor. None of those critiques exist with Frankie\u2019s Organic Snacks Dill Pickle Puffcorn. The nostalgic crunchy-yet-pillowy texture, mixed with the tangy snap of the dill pickle flavor, made this my new go-to snack. I also love that it doesn\u2019t leave a wild amount of dust on your fingers. Plus, knowing that all the ingredients are organic makes every bite that much more satisfying. \u2014 Abi Lieff, executive assistant to the editor-in-chief<\/p>\n
I need my snacks to have a satisfying crunch, and these mini puffs from Hippeas are the perfect crispy, crunchy bite. They\u2019re super light and airy, but still packed full of flavor. The Rockin\u2019 Ranch is a fave\u2014savory, tangy, and herby. Made with corn, chickpea, and rice flour, they\u2019re gluten-free; and while I wouldn\u2019t call them a protein powerhouse, they do include two grams per serving of everyone\u2019s favorite nutrient. \u2014 Senior shopping director<\/p>\n
Sahale might be just a smidge late to the gochujang trend, but fashionably so. The combination of almonds, cashews, and dried pineapple in this snack mix hits the palate sweet and finishes spicy in a way that makes me reach for another handful almost immediately upon finishing. Add in the textural blend of crunch from the nuts and chewy from the pineapple, and this has quickly become my go-to midday desk snack. \u2014 Senior shopping editor<\/p>\n
Perfect Bars have been around for over two decades, and are beloved by many (including lots of my fellow BA staffers); but for some reason, I\u2019ve never hopped on the bandwagon. That changed when I tried the brand\u2019s new Oaties bars, which sub oats for the usual nut butter. The Oatmeal Cookie Dough flavor tastes like the real deal\u2014not an oatmeal cookie-flavored protein bar, but an actual oatmeal cookie. That\u2019s probably thanks to the fact that the bar isn\u2019t sweetened with stevia, sugar alcohols, or monk fruit, but rather a combination of real maple syrup and honey. I\u2019ve been keeping a stash in the office fridge for days when I forget to pack breakfast or need a post-lunch snack. \u2014 A.C.<\/p>\n
As an avid hiker, I almost always have some sort of meat stick stashed in my backpack. They\u2019re one of the few trail snacks that feel substantial when I\u2019m miles away from the nearest sandwich. After trying my fair share of jerky over the years, I assumed Patagonia Provisions\u2019 new bison sticks would be more of the same. Instead, they\u2019ve converted me into a bison person. Where some meat sticks can be dry, tough, or overly processed, these are remarkably tender with a satisfying snap, plus a smoky, savory flavor with just enough spice to keep each bite interesting. They\u2019re made with responsibly raised American bison, which is a bonus, but I\u2019d keep buying them for the taste alone. They\u2019ve officially earned a permanent spot in my hiking pack. \u2014 O.T.<\/p>\n
