Bread, milk, butter, and eggs. Some of these everyday things may be on your shopping list right now. Although these basics should always be on your mind when you go to the grocery store, looking at the newest items can make an otherwise boring trip more fun.
Who said that going to the store has to be dull? Luckily, there are lots of new food items available.
Since the beginning of 2024, many brands have added more products to their lines by adding new flavors or releasing completely new products.
Last month, Kraft released two new kinds of mac and cheese, and SkinnyDipped released a new line of sweet and salty nuts.
There’s always a new choice, whether you’re looking for an ice cream treat or something other than potato chips.
Start making your shopping list now. The following are some of the best new food items this year.
Ferrero Rocher Dark Hazelnut & Crunchy Salted Caramel
Ferrero Rocher released a new bar called Dark Hazelnut and Crunchy Salted Caramel, which is perfect for chocolate and hazelnut lovers. It can now be bought at stores all over the country.
This treat contains salty caramel bits, crunchy hazelnut pieces, and a dark chocolate shell made with 55% cocoa.
In honor of the launch of this new product, the high-end confectioner joined forces with the book-tracking app The StoryGraph to create the “Reading is a Treat” competition. People who participate in this task can read new books and keep track of their progress throughout the month.
As long as supplies last, they will get a free Ferrero Rocher chocolate bar after finishing the task.
Salsa Picante With Tabasco
Tabasco has a new spicy sauce called Salsa Picante that you can use to spice up your nachos, tacos, or burritos. This is this brand’s first Mexican-style hot sauce, and it’s meant to be eaten with Tex-Mex foods.
It’s made with red jalapeño peppers and the “signature excitement of Tabasco sauce,” as the company that makes Tabasco describes it.
Tabasco’s squeeze format line now has this sauce. This line has bottles “designed for easy drizzling and dipping” of thicker sauces.
You can now get Tabasco Salsa Picante at Walmart and on Amazon. A bottle of this hot sauce costs about $3.56, which is what most stores charge.
SkinnyDipped Sweet And Salty
Sweet or salty? With its new Salty + Sweet line, SkinnyDipped can now give both sweet and salty snacks. These products are more savory than the company’s other goods. This line has three kinds of snacks: Vanilla Crunch Almonds, Cinnamon Crunch Cashews, and Maple Crunch Almonds.
Each box costs $6.49. This new snack can be bought on Amazon and at some other stores.
Not only are SkinnyDipped’s goods naturally and lightly sweetened, but they are also non-GMO, kosher, gluten-free, and made without any added colors or tastes.
Goodles Squeezy Mac And Cheese
Goodles is known for making healthier mac and cheese. They released a new line of special mac and cheese flavors: Shell We Dance and Ched Over Heels. This has smooth “squeezy cheese” instead of the standard powdered cheese.
Google says that the Ched Over Heels flavor is meant to taste like “the squeezy-cheese mac you grew up with,” while the Shell We Dance flavor is made with a rich and silky aged white cheddar sauce.
Shell pasta is in both choices. When you make your mac, you don’t need to add milk or butter.
Each box has a recommended retail price of $4.99, and you can buy them on the Goodles website or at Target.
Kraft Mac & Cheese With Ranch And Jalapeño
Kraft mac and cheese fans can enjoy the popular cheesy meal in even more ways. The company just added two new types: jalapeño and ranch.
The jalapeño’s basic flavor is mixed with a bit of heat, and in the ranch, the tangy taste of the famous dressing comes through.
Before choosing these two, Kraft looked at more than 40 ideas and 27 different tastes. When Kraft asked fans to suggest flavors as part of its new “Fan Favorites” program for Kraft Mac & Cheese, Jalapeño and Ranch were popular choices. You can now buy both kinds of mac and cheese in shops nationwide for about $1.99 each.
Toaster Pastries From Ghetto Gastro
Ghetto Gastro is a black-owned food company in the Bronx that specializes in breakfast foods. To expand its menu, it is adding two new fall-themed toaster cakes: sweet potato and brown sugar.
The new toaster cakes are vegan, non-GMO, and made with organic grains and roots. They are also like the rest of the company’s goods, without added chemicals or stabilizers. The new products will be sold at some Target shops and on Target.com.
Chobani Pumpkin Spice Line
Chobani has already declared fall, even though it’s still summer, by releasing its 2024 pumpkin spice line. The line includes two new items and six fan favorites that are back for another season. Two of the new items are the Pumpkin Spice Greek Yogurt Drink and Pumpkin Spice Greek Barista Oatmilk.
Next, three yogurts are coming back: Pumpkin Spice Greek Yogurt, Zero Sugar Pumpkin Spice Yogurt, and Pumpkin Harvest Crisp Flip, which has a side section with oatmeal cookie pieces, chunks of creamy frosting, and cinnamon-frosted cookies.
Pumpkin Spice Oatmilk Drink and Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer are also back. La Colombe’s Pumpkin Spice Draft Latte is also back. This coffee drink has cold-brewed Colombian dark roast, real pumpkin puree, and warming spices. Chobani’s pumpkin spice goods can be bought at stores nationwide.
Turkey Hill Late Night Ice Cream Line
You can get what you want at Turkey Hill when you’re hungry late at night. As part of its new Late Night line, the ice cream brand released seven new tastes in July.
There are eight flavors: Mint Chocolate Cookie, Ultimate Cookie Overload, Cherry Chocolate Chunk, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Brownie Batter Cookie Dough, Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Espresso, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.
Some stores, such as Food Lion, ShopRite, Giant Food Stores, Turkey Hill Minit Markets, and others, will sell late-night ice cream choices.
KIND Savory Bars & KIND Seeds, Fruit & Nuts Bars
KIND has had a busy year so far. They just released two new types of food: Savory and Seeds, Fruits, and nuts. The Savory bars have a smoky, spicy taste and nuts.
There are three kinds: Paprika Nuts and Mesquite-Smoked Sea Salt, Roasted Nuts Jalapeño, and Rosemary Nuts and sea Salt.
For people who want something tastier, the seeds, Fruits, and nut Bars come in strawberry, raspberry, and orange flavors. You can choose from Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pumpkin Seed, Orange Cranberry Sunflower Seed, or Strawberry Sunflower Seed.
