Pumpkin spice gets plenty of attention. Meanwhile, H-E-B has apparently decided that Thanksgiving stuffing deserves a potato-chip phase.
Two of its fall snack options go in completely different directions: Cornbread Stuffing Potato Chips for the snack bowl and Creamy Creations Caramel Apple Sherbet for the freezer. Here is what to look for before adding either to your grocery list.
The savory option: stuffing-flavored chips
H-E-B Cornbread Stuffing Potato Chips take their flavor cue from the Thanksgiving side dish. FOX San Antonio’s September 16 report identifies them as a limited-time release in 7-ounce bags.
If another pumpkin dessert does nothing for you, this is the item to look for in the chip aisle. I would put a bag on the list for a casual snack night before committing to a whole collection of seasonal sweets. A stuffing-flavored chip has already done enough to get the conversation started.
The sweet option: caramel apple sherbet
On the sweet side, Caramel Apple Sherbet is also part of H-E-B’s fall lineup, according to the same FOX San Antonio report. Look for the Creamy Creations carton pictured above in the freezer aisle.
A frozen dessert and a savory chip are very different ways to bring fall flavors home. I would choose based on the occasion: a snack bowl for a movie night, or something cold to serve after dinner while Texas is still acting like it is summer.
Check the carton size and package’s serving information if you are shopping for a group. One container may be plenty for your own freezer plans; dessert for a gathering takes a little more planning.
Check your store before making a special trip
Use your selected H-E-B store to check availability and the price for your shopping method. A product listing is not a guarantee that your nearest store has it today.
Check each package’s ingredients and allergen information before sharing. These are two separate products; a seasonal label does not make them interchangeable for everyone’s dietary needs.
My shopping-list rule here: choose the one that sounds good for something you are already doing. The entire pantry does not need an autumn rebrand.
For another savory snack idea, the Milton’s and Kale Junkie cracker pairing starts with a very different shopping list.
