If you don't have a deranged obsession with HEB, are you really from Central Texas?
With all due respect to the other grocery stores, you really can't beat HEB. Ask any ex-Texan and they'll tell you that the one thing they miss most is their proximity to the greatest grocery store in the USA. In other words, don't take it for granted.
The best part about HEB? Their store brand products are just as good - if not better - than name brand. We particularly love their snacks, and we think y'all do too, which is why we created this list of the Best HEB Brand Snacks. Because no store does more.

Cheese Puffs (Sweet Jalapeno, Carolina Reaper)
There's no improving on the classic cheese puff—and yet, HEB found a way to do just that. You can't go wrong with any flavor, but our favorites are the Sweet Jalapeno and Carolina Reaper.

Asiago Cheese Bread & Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Is bread a snack? If there's a dip in sight, we think so. The HEB Bakery churns out some of our favorite breads, but the most snackable are the cheesy ones dipped in one of their signature brand dips, like the Spinach & Artichoke.

Seasoned Tortilla Chips & That Green Sauce
Yes, these bags are huge, and yes, we finish them often. You can eat them alone or you can eat them with a salsa. Our preference? Dipped in That Green Sauce. Thank us later.

Two-Bite Brownies
Take as many bites as you want of these mini-sized delicacies; the important thing is that you take any bites at all. They call them Two-Bite Brownies but we've been known to both pop them like candy and to savor them with many more bites. The choice is yours.

Fiery Hot Big Time Crunch
If you're a chip purist, you may find yourself skipping the HEB brand of classic chips. But you'd be remiss to pass over this store brand version of Hot Cheetos. They're slightly less hot, but packed with a flavor that goes a lot farther than their name brand counterpart, if we do say so ourselves.

Trail Mix (Texas Heat, Sweet & Sassy)
We love all the flavors of HEB Trail Mix, but the two we keep stocked in the office are Texas Heat and Sweet & Sassy. If you're truly insane, you could mix the two, but we wouldn't endorse that on paper.

Salted Caramel Italian Gelato
A newcomer to the HEB Brand game (and it's no game, it's serious stuff), their new flavors of gelato are, quite literally, to die for. The Salted Caramel flavor takes the cake, if there is a cake to be taken or topped.

Vanilla Greek Yogurt & Granola
Some call it breakfast; some a snack. Yogurt and granola can be either one, but when it's as good as HEB Vanilla Greek Yogurt topped with one of their Signature Granolas, you'll find us eating it at any time of day.

Lemon Almonds
Sneak one of these from the bulk section (we've all done it) and you'll find yourself buying a whole bag. Whether you consider these a salty snack or if the lemon yogurt coating shifts these more into a dessert, you can scratch both itches by popping these Lemon Almonds all day long.

Wildflower Honey Peanut Butter & Apples
If you best enjoy your healthy snacks with a little something-something, dip some of HEB's apples into the best peanut butter ever. Their Wildflower Honey PB is perfectly sweet without being so sweet that it's nasty. You'll understand what we mean, surely.

Garlic Herb Pita Chips & Garlic Hummus
You'd think this would be garlic overload, but you'd be wrong. Their perfectly-seasoned Pita Chips pair ideally with their Garlic Hummus, and we wouldn't blame you for taking an entire bag and entire container of hummus straight to the dome.

Cowboy Cookies & Milk
A classic cookies & milk snack can be HEB-ified by picking up their unique take on a Chips Ahoy! cookie. The Cowboy Cookie is replete with oats, pecans, and chocolate chips. Dip them in whole milk (or 2%, if you're feeling wild).
_________________________________
Swoon Ice Cream (Banana S'mores, Cherry Pistachio)
If their Creamy Creations flavors don't quite win you over, upgrade to Swoon. From weirdo flavors like Banana S'mores to highfalutin concoctions like Cherry Pistachio, you'll feel way richer than the roughly $4 you spent on the pint.
