We look forward to the Winter Fancy Food Show all year, not because we get to stuff our faces, but because it's an excellent way to sample all the new and notable food products. Drinks, snacks, sauces, sweets, and more: these are the supermarket and specialty foods you need to try for yourself.
Like peanut sauce for those who don't actually like peanuts, Zena's Sass! Almond would be the perfect complement to satay and spring rolls.
Vosges Red Hawaiian Salted Caramel Marshmallows pack pretty much everything we love — salty and so-dark-it's-almost-burnt caramel, springy marshmallows, and dark chocolate — into one bite-size package.
Epic Uncured Bacon Jerky Bites are like jerky for those who don't love conventional jerky's leathery, tough-to-chew texture. Plus, who doesn't want another excuse to eat bacon?
From our favorite kimchi brand comes another Korean staple done just right, Mother in Law's Kimchi Sesame Gochujang.
Combine exceptionally high-quality almonds, zesty lemon flavor, and a pinch of candied ginger, and you have Clif Family Winery Lemon Ginger Almonds, a salty-sweet snack we adore.
We've yet to meet a Jeni's flavor we don't love, and Jeni's Red Raspberry Frozen Yogurt is no exception. It's just as smooth as the famed shop's ice cream but with an unmistakably yogurt-y tang and plenty of juicy raspberry flavor.
Rishi Turmeric Ginger Herbal Blend is like a cozy, invigorating hug. We also love that it skips the addition of Stevia that many turmeric teas include; instead, it gets its slightly sweet flavor from licorice root.
If you already snack on carrots dipped in hummus, Eat Well Embrace Life Zesty Sriracha Carrot Hummus will no doubt win you over. The carrot adds sweetness while the sriracha adds zing.
Vinegar-plumped raisins completely changed our kale salad game, so when we saw pickled raisins from Renee Erickson, the same restaurateur who wrote the kale salad recipe, we had high hopes. Our hunch was spot-on; they're plump, juicy, and tangy, and they would be wonderful on a pork chop or as part of a cheese plate.
Just because you're dairy free doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to enjoy treats like cookie butter ice cream! Steve's Speculoos Cookie Butter Dairy-Free Ice Cream starts with an organic coconut cream base flavored with speculoos cookie butter and churned with chunks of gingerbread cookie. It's outrageously creamy for being vegan.
If you've ever wished that fig spreads were a touch less sweet, Ficoco is the preserve for you. Rather than tasting overtly chocolaty, it has cocoa, which brings just enough bitterness to round things out.
Most flavored waters taste flat or, worse, artificial, but not Hint Pineapple Water, which brings the fresh flavor.
While the combination of flavors may sound odd, Banana Joe Sriracha Chili chips are anything but; they're just the right combination of spice and sweetness.
Less bitter and more floral than traditional orange marmalade, Yakami Orchard Yuzu Marmalade would be an excellent addition to breakfast, cheese plates, or anywhere else a little sweet citrus is needed.
We've tried just about everything there is in the world of pumpkin spice products, so when we say that CC Made Pumpkin Spice Caramels are tops, that's exceptionally high praise. Toasted pepitas, a just-right hit of pumpkin spice, a salty punch, and a texture somewhere between chewy and soft make these a winner.
Like Pirate's Booty but cheesier (and, frankly, better), Angie's Boom Chicka Puff White Cheddar is dangerously good.
We can't wait to experiment with Glossop's No. 6, a brown sugar, ginger, and lime syrup, behind the (home) bar.
Butterscotch is like a milkier, molasses-y caramel, and Tillamook Salted Butterscotch Ice Cream is like having the classic sundae done up for you in a pint.
Parties and game days are awesome opportunities to whip up some Just in Time Gourmet Key Lime Cheesecake. The mix tastes just as authentic as the homemade stuff but can be molded into a cheese ball and served with graham crackers for easy dipping.
A little cane sugar and strands of lemon peel brighten up the classic lemon flavor of Fage’s new Fruyo line.
Peanut butter, chocolate, and M&M's join forces for the fun-to-eat Pacific Beach Child’s Play Peanut Butter Spread .
Olive oil that tastes buttery? Olivelle Sweet Cream Butter Extra Virgin Olive Oil is completely addictive and authentically flavored as the oil contains a natural butter extract. We can't wait to cook with it for lighter yet rich-tasting fare.
This year, Ito En will release bottles of Oi Ocha genmaicha or green tea with roasted rice. This tea tastes like popcorn, which means we can’t wait for it to hit store shelves.
Sriracha isn’t the only red spice flavoring snacks. Pop Art Tandoori Yogurt Popcorn tastes exactly like the tandoori spices used in the famous Indian chicken with a slight tang from the yogurt powder.
The cold months beg for warming ginger tea, but whether you are traveling or at work, sometimes brewing the fresh root isn’t possible. A grand substitute is Republic of Tea Biodynamic Organic Ginger, which tastes as spicy and robust as a fresh cup.
We adore Downton Abbey teas and are excited to learn that Republic of Tea has expanded the lineup. Our favorite? Lady Cora's Evening Tea combines chamomile and lemon balm for a truly tranquil cup.
Califia Almond Milk’s adding a new lineup of creamers, which taste as sweet and creamy as conventional ones but are vegan and contain a short and easy-to-pronounce list of ingredients.
In addition to lentil chips, we’re seeing more and more of crunchy, roasted chickpeas. Spice fans, meet your match: Biena Habanero Chickpea Snacks.
