They’re back! Oh, thank goodness they’re back! I don’t know why I’m pretending to be so excited about these coming back from the snack graveyard because I’ve never had them. But they look so good. Candy Blog reviewed them in 2008. (Spotted by Stacie A at CVS.)

Lay’s Chipotle Ranch Potato Chips are back! Now I imagine some of you have no idea these chips existed in 2011. But that’s understandable because back then it was available only in the Southwest. This time that’s not the case. (Spotted by Claire G at Weis Markets.)

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with Holiday Designs

Almost any treat that allows me to bite off the limbs of a gingerbread man is a good treat. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

I just want to pull off its top crust and then dump cheese and a small bag of Fritos onto the pie. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

Russell Stover Coconut Mini Santas

Every year the Ritter Sport snowman has different colored scarfs and beanies. It’s as if it went to a Gap sale a few years ago and bought every color. (Spotted by Carla at World Market.)
