The 7 Best New Snacks We Couldn't Stop Eating in November

"Welcome to Snack Drop, a (new!) column where we give you the lowdown on all of the best new-to-market snacks that have landed on our desks each month. As editors and writers at a food magazine, we have a constant stream of products coming into the office and onto our desks. Yes, sometimes that means shiny new pans and high-tech air fryers or coffee gadgets -but a good chunk of the packages we get are filled not with gear... but with snacks."

"That's why we're starting a new column called Snack Drop. Each month, our staff will chime in on the newly-launched snacks that have quickly become a part of our rotations-I'm talking new desk drawer staples and products we're so obsessed with, we regularly order restocks (with our own money!)."

"Little Sesame is my all-time favorite hummus. It's silky, bright, and tastes like someone lovingly whipped it together in their home kitchen. But when their limited-edition Black Truffle Hummus landed in the office, reactions ranged from intrigued to "no thanks, I'm good." I quickly learned that truffle-flavored anything is incredibly polarizing."

"But this is Little Sesame we're talking about! After a bit of persuading, my coworkers caved and tried it. One swoop through with warm, fluffy pita, and everyone's eyes went wide. The creamy hummus flavor comes first, followed by a gentle whisper of real chopped Italian black truffle-not that sharp truffle-oil perfume. After demolishing the first container, I quietly tucked the second into my lunchbox for later.-Olivia Tarantino, senior commerce editor"

A monthly roundup features newly launched snacks received on office desks and sampled by staff. Selections include peanut butter-stuffed dates, a cozy popcorn launch from a familiar brand, and fiber-filled Floura bars from Jeni Britton. Little Sesame released a limited-edition Black Truffle Hummus noted for its silky, bright base and a subtle, real chopped Italian black truffle presence rather than sharp truffle oil. Reactions to truffle flavor were mixed, but the hummus won over tasters when paired with warm, fluffy pita. Several products became desk-rotation staples and prompted staff to reorder favorites.
