The 99 Best Snacks Of All Time

“What’s your favorite snack?”

“What’s the best snack of all time?”

These are just a few questions that are not only difficult for most to answer (some would say, impossible), but also very highly opinionated, as well.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t be answered.

Here at Variety Fun we like to think of ourselves as snack connoisseurs.

We love snacks.

They’re as uncomplicated as you can get.

It’s for this reason we’ve created this list of the top 99 best snacks of all time. This list is comprised of the best of the best. Candy bars, chips, fruit snacks, gourmet and corner store favorites. Did any of your favorites not make the list? Give them a shout out in the comments!

1 - Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

This snack is number one for a reason. It combines the best of both worlds with its milk chocolate outer layer and rich, and thick peanut buttery center. Did you know there have been 21 limited edition flavors of Reese’s, including Fudge, Hazelnut Cream and White chocolate?

2 - Milky Way

Milky Way is one of the best snacks you can have because it’s full of the delicious taste of caramel and chocolate. Take a look at the original packaging above: Boy, how times have changed! Here are a few interesting facts about the candy bar company that you might not have known.

3 - Butterfinger

The Bart Simpson-endorsed treat is one classic you’re not soon to forget. It’s has a flakey texture that melts in your mouth.

4 - 100 Grand

Unarguably one of the best snacks of all time, Nestle’s 100 Grand is a complex bar layered everywhere with taste. From its crunchy outer coating of rice to its carmel middle.

“That’s rich!” couldn’t be a more perfect slogan.

If you want to know more about how the company got started, Collecting Candy compiled a list of news clippings and packaging throughout the brand’s history.

5 - Whatchamacallit

With its “can’t put my finger on it” taste, Whatchamacallit is probably one of the most creative named candy bars of all time. It’s delicious flavor combines caramel, peanut butter and chocolate, and, over the years, has even found itself as the main attraction of homemade treats, such as pies, cheesecakes, and unique takes on the candy bar itself.

6 - Twix

Twix is another great candy bar that’s gone through several changes throughout the years. From the original caramel cookie bar to Twix White, Twix Dark and Twix Peanut Butter, its unexpected twist of smooth and crunchy flavors are sure to please all year round. Did you know the word “Twix” is a portmanteau (a fancy word meaning a combination of two or more words) of “Twin” and “Sticks”.

7 - 3 Musketeers

One of the best treats to get during the Halloween season, 3 Musketeers are known for their ooey goey core of whipped nougat that never seems to end.

8 - PayDay

First on the market in 1932, the peanut encrusted bar with the caramel center was a favorite of well known individuals, such as the late comedian Bob Hope.

9 - BabyRuth

The signature flavors here are caramel and milk chocolate.

10 - Take 5

12 - Snickers

Snickers is one of those bars that manages to serve up generous portions of peanuts swimming in caramel, resting on a bed of nougat, all wrapped in chocolate. It was made by Mars, Inc (3 Musketeers, Big Red, Milky Way, etc) and was first introduced in 1930.

13 - Hershey’s Gold: Caramelized Cream - Peanuts & Pretzels

It’s hard to improve upon the original.

But Herhsey’s has proven that it’s not just a one hit wonder by continuously developing new flavors that are just as delicious as each one that came before. In fact, Hershey’s Gold is one of the brands best candy bar; rivalling even their Cookies & Creme. The Pennsylvania-based brand proves that they know their secret sauce inside and out. While they haven’t made a lot of chocolate bars in the original Milk Chocolate, Cookies & Creme or Gold variety, all of these have been instant hits… and that’s saying something.

14 - Rolo

Rolos are a bite-sized treat filled with caramel.

They first came onto the scene in the 20s. Developed in the UK, the brand passed through licensing or acquisition by a handful of other brands, including The Hershey Company and Nestle. The company also joined forces with McDonald’s in 2011 to change up the flavor profile of their soft serve McFlurry.

15 - Mars Bar

In 1932 the Mars bar was introduced as England’s answer to the Milky Way. It has similar textures, including the cream nougat that the Milky Way is known for.

Who wore it better?

You decide.

16 - Almond Joy

Coconut and chocolate are two of the greatest combinations of snack flavors ever. Developed by Hershey’s, it combines an almost flakey inner texture with a smooth milk chocolate shell. Wanna try your hand at making some from scratch? Head over to The Spruce Eats.

17 - Nestle Crunch

In 1938, in one of the craziest twists ever, the Crunch bar was made. You might be surprised to know that the delicious taste of crisped rice and chocolate was in fact a mistake! Now that you think of it...It does sort of have the texture of a chemistry experiment gone right or wrong, depending on who you ask. But, let’s be honest, it’s food, and the makers created a delicious mistake that generations of people have loved ever since.

18 - Hershey’s Cookies N Cream

Proving that you can indeed improve upon the original, Hershey’s Cookies and Cream is the stuff of legends. It has bits and pieces of almost Oreo-like cookies spread densely throughout the candy bar’s base of milk, cocoa butter, etc etc.

Did you know that Hershey’s has several other Cookies and Creme-flavored products, including cereal, pudding, and even a milkshake?

19 - Mounds

Mounds is Almond Joy’s twin. Literally!

Also created by Hershey’s, the candy bar is made out of dark chocolate; instead of the milk chocolate that Almond Joy is known for.

The richer taste is just as delicious as Almond Joys!

20 - Lindt’s Lindor Truffles (Lindor) Hazelnut

Lindt is one of the best examples of gourmet candy on the market. Also known as Lindt & Sprüngli, the Swiss-based chocolatier is known for its ball-shaped delicacies which have a rich creamy center that’s almost cool in temperature. Lindor has several flavors in its line, including Caramel, Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Citrus, Caramel, etc.

21 - Hershey’s Milk Chocolate

Hershey’s Milk Chocolate is one of the longest running candy bars on the market.

22 - Nestle Crunch White Chocolate

While it’s not on the top of our list, Nestle’s short-lived White Chocolate (Simply called Nestle Crunch White) packed a host of flavors that you just could not resist. Coupled with ingredients that include white chocolate, crisped cereals (approx. 10%), cocoa butter, etc, the short-lived treat has since been discontinued but will forever live on in adult and childhood memories alike. Did you know that Nestle also had an Alpine White flavor that has since been discontinued? (It’s not the same as Nestle’s White Chocolate).

23 - Ferrero Rocher

Like Lindt’s Lindor truffles, Ferrero Rocher is part of a longer tradition of confection and chocolate-making. Their gourmet chocolates date back to the 80s, and includes that signature hazelnut and wafer crunch that we’ve all come to enjoy.

24 - M&Ms

Another entry from the Mar’s catalog (Which also includes Big Red, 3 Musketeers, Livesavers, Skittles, etc), M&Ms were originally created when the founder’s son - Forrest Mars Sr, saw soldiers in the Spanish Civil War eating Smarties; a British bite-sized snack similar in look to what would become M&Ms.

The new product was a success and the rest is history.

M&Ms have a variety of flavors, including fruit and chocolate based flavors like milk chocolate, pumpkin spice, cherry, raspberry, orange chocolate, candy corn, red velvet, peanut butter, and many more.

25 - Hostess Twinkies

With references everywhere in popular culture (including Ghostbuters, Zombieland & Wall-E), twinkies is one vintage snack that every generation can appreciate. Developed by Hostess Brands with a tagline that boasted a “Golden Sponge Cake with Creamy Filling”, Twinkies is a snack cake with a simple taste that you won’t soon forget.

It’s essentially the pound cake or sugar cookie of snacks.

Doritos is known for its delicious flavors that linger on your tongue.

Developed by Frito Lay, the chip line has had a successful run of flavors that also include Nacho Cheese, Spicy Sweet Chili, Flaming Hot Nacho, Salsa Verde, among others.

27 - Pringles BBQ

While both Pringles and Doritos have produced some of the most flavorful chips on the market, they’ve both created distinctive flavors that set them apart from one another.

Pringles is another flavor that ignites the taste buds every time.

28 - Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili

Doritos is a brand that masters its flavors with the ease of a veteran brand. Established in 1964, although it’s one of the earlier brands by comparison, Doritos flavors like “Spicy Sweet Chili” balance a zesty tanginess that’s hot and cool.

29 - Cheetos

Along with designing a hip mascot (Chester Cheetah), Cheetos also took cheese puffs to another level with its crunchy puff cornmeal snacks. There have several different types of Cheetos, including Puff and Crunch; and also a few flavors like Cheddar Jalapeno, Flaming Hot Limin, and Chipotle Ranch.

30 - Flipz

Salty and sweet, the way it should be.

Developed very recently in 1997, Nestlé’s Flipz is a covered-pretzel type treat that is incredibly hard to put down. If you’ve ever had a bag of these you know exactly what we mean. Since the inception of their milk chocolate flavor, Flipz has created several other flavors including Dark Chocolate, White Fudge, Chocolate Mint, Oreo, Caramel Sea Salt, and Birthday Cake.

31 - UTZ Cheese Balls

UTZ vs Cheetos is a snack rivalry for the ages. Whichever side you’re on, Utz Cheese Balls are a delicious puff snack that’s hard to let go of.

32 - Werther’s Original

Werther’s Original are the delicious caramel treats from almost everyone’s childhood. Whether you prefer the hard or soft candy version, their decadent creamy taste will keep you coming back for more.

What we like about Dove is their willingness to reinvent themselves. Last November, the Mars Wrigley subsidiary introduced new flavors inspired by old ones. These new flavors included Bourbon Vanilla Dark Chocolate, Salted Caramel Blonde Chocolate, Raspberry Rosé, Dark Chocolate, Almond Brittle Milk Chocolate, and simple Dark Chocolate. These new flavors, coupled with their established line of flavors, prove why they’re the best - even if their name isn’t as well known as Crunch or 3 Musketeers.

34 - Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies

Founded during the Great Depression, Mckee Foods churned out several beloved favorites over its 91 year history, including Little Debbie and Sunbelt Bakery. The brand has become lesser known, but still a much adored snack company that many generations have indulged in. If you had access to Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Creme Pies, Comic Brownies or Nutty Bars, Zebra Cakes, or Swiss Cake Rolls when you were young, count yourself among the lucky ones.

35 - Toblerone

Yet another Swiss-based confection, Toblerone’s candies, which come in both chocolate and white chocolate varieties are a rich, gourmet upgrade to anything else you’re used to.

36 - Whoppers

Developed by the Hershey company, the chocolate outer covering soon turns to that malted milk flavor and makes this snack one you’ll want to pop multiple times.

37 - Raisinets

The best part about Raisinets is they have an unpredictable flavor that you’re not expecting. From its chocolate coating to its tangy, gooey, fruit center, Nestle’s Raisinets is one of the earliest versions of what was once a popular concession stand movie snack.

38 - M&M Peanut

M&M’s Peanut is another great flavor by the Hershey company. Stuffed with the delicious chocolate-coated peanut, M&M Peanut was actually the 2nd type of M&M produced; after the original milk chocolate version was introduced.

39 - Fritos Original

Your brain says put them down but your taste buds have something else in mind.

Fritos are one of the best examples of salty snacks done right.

Whether or not you like sour candies, Sour Patch Kids are the snacks you will want to keep eating for that overly sugary and sweet texture and taste that makes your brain say, “no more!” and “yes please” at the same time. We’re not sure what in the science is going on there, but we like it.

44 - Bubbletape

If you grew up in the 90s, of the best corner store treats you could have was Bubbletape. The gum, which rolled out of its opening and snapped off like measuring tape was meant to be played with.

And play you did!

No sensible kid simply took a piece of gum and left it for later.

No, not you! You gobbled up the whole thing then and there.

Those were the days!

45 - Juicyfruit

Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit is a brand of gum that was introduced in the 1890s. It’s delicate balance of fruit flavors, rumored to include pineapple, banana, and perhaps peach or jackfruit, makes it hard to have just one.

46 - Fruit Gushers

Another snack from the early 90s, Fruit Gushers combined a pea-sized fruit snack with a gooey center that “gushed” upon chewing.

47 - Fruit Rollups

48 - Laffy Taffy

Sometimes the joy of snacks is experiencing a new sensation.

Sometimes it’s an unexpected taste - like sour, and other times it’s an unexpected texture, like the toughness of chewing a Laffy Taffy.

49 - Junior Mints

This is the first candy on our list that has both mint and chocolate. Unsurprisingly, it’s one of the best companies to combine both flavors.

52 - Push Pop

Also developed by the Topps Company, who found a healthy market for novelty snacks, the Push Pop was another lollipop that found its popularity due to the fact that you could push it up before use and down to stash it away.

53 - Peanut Butter M&Ms

The best thing about Peanut Butter M&Ms is how much flavor you can store within such a little bite. The peanut butter flavor is slightly a bit sweeter than normal, and lingers on the palette for a time before it fades.

These M&Ms can be enjoyed in their mini, regular and jumbo sizes.

54 - Jolly Ranchers

56 - Lay’s Sour Cream & Onion

From your local grocery store to vending machines everywhere, Lay’s Sour Cream & Onion has that flavor that reminds one of dill or chives. It’s one of Lays’ original potato chip flavors and one of their best; even comparing to the densely rich taste of their Barbeque, it’s one of their best.

58 - Andes Chocolate Mints

Named after the candy maker’s daughter, whose nickname was "Tootsie", the Tootsie Roll first appeared in the early 20th century (1907, to be exact). Since then the company has produced its signature chewy, log-shaped confections with a taffy-like texture.

60 - Starburst

Unarguably, one of the best candies ever are Starbursts.

They’re a collection of fruit-flavored taffy that have been around since the 60s. In that time they’ve graduated from basic fruit flavors, including strawberry, lemon, orange and cherry, and later tropical flavors, such as cherry kiwi, pina colada, strawberry banana and mango melon.

61 - Skittles

Of course, Starbursts and Skittles are sort of neck and neck when it comes to the best of the best of fruit candies. It’s no surprise that both of these candies are from The Wrigley Company (Who, in addition to these candies, also are the makers of Doublemint, Spearmint, Winterfresh, Extra, Eclipse, Altoids, Life Savers, Gummi Savers, and more…). Spoon University compiled a list of all of the original Skittles flavors, ranked by taste. Check it out!
