Sweet Treats: The Country’s Best Cookies, Cakes, and Candy
When it comes to sweet treats, America has some of the best. From classic cookies to decadent cakes and candy, your taste buds will be in sugar heaven.
Classic Cookies
You can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies, America’s most popular. Crispy around the edges, chewy in the middle, loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Or grab some Oreos – the world’s favorite cookie with a sweet creme filling sandwiched between two chocolate wafers.
Show-Stopping Cakes
For special occasions, a sumptuous cake is a must. Red velvet cake is a Southern favorite with its bright red color and tangy cream cheese frosting. Carrot cake, studded with carrots, and nuts and topped with cream cheese icing, is delightfully spiced. And who can resist the sky-high meringue peaks of lemon meringue pie?
Nostalgic Candy
Satisfy your sweet tooth with candy that takes you back. Bite into a Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bar, with its distinctive brown wrapper and perfectly balanced cocoa. Enjoy the peanutty, caramel swirl of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Or unwrap a striped candy cane for a pepperminty winter treat.
With so many delectable options, you’ll want to sample them all. Luckily, most classic American snacks are easy to whip up at home or can be found in stores nationwide. Your taste buds will thank you for discovering – or rediscovering – these irresistible treats. Save room for seconds!
Savory Snacks: America’s Favorite Chips, Jerky, Popcorn and More
When it comes to savory snacks, American snacks has you covered. Chips, popcorn, beef jerky – we’ve perfected them all.
Potato chips are a national obsession. You’ll want to try ruffles, Lay’s, Pringles, and Kettle Brand – with endless flavors from sea salt and vinegar to barbecue. Thin and crispy or thick cut, wavy or crinkle cut, baked or fried, the variations are endless. Pair them with a sandwich, dip them in French onion dip, or enjoy them straight from the bag.
Popcorn is another favorite. Whether you prefer it sweet with lots of butter and salt or opt for a spicier kick with chili and lime, popcorn satisfies. For extra decadence, try caramel corn or cheese popcorn.
Beef jerky, made from strips of dried meat, is the ultimate protein-packed snack. Look for brands with natural ingredients and minimal preservatives. Jerky comes in a variety of meats like beef, turkey, or pork and an array of flavors from teriyaki to sriracha honey garlic.
Tortilla chips and salsa are always a hit. Load them up with guacamole, cheese, beans, and salsa for a hearty nacho plate, or just enjoy the chips and salsa on their own. Hint: the spicier the salsa the better!
