Forget Snack Bars! 2016 Is All About the Jerky

Of all the salmon jerky at the show, Dear North Alaska Salmon Bites were the standout. You can taste the freshness in each bite, and you can choose from unique varieties (like savory sea kelp and sesame or salted rhubarb and raspberries) that offer a flavor-packed punch without overpowering the pure taste of the salmon.

Perfectly seasoned, sweet, and salty, Chef's Cut's decadent applewood uncured bacon jerky needs to be on the shopping list of any bacon-lover. Warning: you won't be able to stop yourself from eating the whole bag.

You can taste how much care goes into Lawless Jerky's all-natural jerky — the BBQ spare rib pork jerky is made with cinnamon, cloves, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and more spices that create a lip-smackingly good bite.

While some turkey jerky can be extrachewy and lacking in flavor, The New Primal's turkey jerky is the complete opposite — you can see how much flavor goes into each batch by reading the ingredients. This is the protein-packed snack you'll want to stock up on if you don't eat beef (or if you do!).

Sriracha. Bacon. Jerky. Is your mouth watering yet? You will not regret ordering Pork Barrel BBQ's spicy sriracha bacon jerky in bulk.

Nope, you're not dreaming. Three Jerks is already known for the most luxurious filet mignon jerky, but this year things got even more exciting with a maple bourbon churro flavor. Sweet and salty heaven is the only way to describe it.

Trail mix can be boring, but you know what makes it way better? Bacon. This omnivore-approved snack mix from Epic Bar is the perfect on-the-go treat to keep you energergized, full of nuts, cranberries, and sugar-free bacon bites.
