Bucket List Spicy Snacks You Need to Try Before You Die

As a lover of all things spicy, I am uniquely qualified to impart upon you a list of the best spicy snacks to add to your edible bucket list. They are unique, delicious, and (most importantly) spicy! Grab an ice cold glass of milk and settle in with the best spicy snacks you need to try before you die. They’ll have you saying “Ouch!” and “Yum!” (And if you’re looking for a hot sauce bucket list, I wrote that one up, too.)

Herr’s Jalapeno Poppers Flavored Cheese Curls

Herr’s Jalapeno Poppers Flavored Cheese Curls really taste like jalapeno poppers. How fun is that?! The flavor is there, but they’re super light. And they’re not too spicy. Try these if you like heat but don’t want your mouth blasted to the sun! That being said, heat lovers like me will still think they’re delicious—they’re some of the best cheese puffs you can buy, period.

Samyang Carbonara Spicy Buldak Instant Noodles

These are our favorite Buldak Noodles and one of my must try spicy snacks. These instant noodles are totally viral for a reason. They’re so unique. This carbonara flavor is the best because it’s creamy, cheesy, and hot. And when I say hot, I mean hot. P.S.: If you don’t think instant noodles constitute a snack, please leave this website.

Roasted Green Chile & Pepita Bitchin’ Sauce

It’s the best flavor of Bitchin’ Sauce and one of the best spicy snacks out there. The heat won’t hit you hard at first, but it builds over time. I could eat a thousand tortilla chips dipped into this stuff. It’s so roast-y and creamy and spicy. Once you start eating it, you never want to stop.

Tapatio Doritos

Tapatio Doritos taste exactly like Tapatio. Like, exactly like Tapatio. I think that’s so cool! And it earned them a high spot on our list of the best Doritos flavors. These are one of my bucket list spicy snacks because they’re so unique. If you’ve ever wanted to straight up eat hot sauce, grab a bag of these. 

Wickles Pickles Wicked Okra

We tried all of Wickles Pickles products and these ranked near the top of the list. Pickled okra is such an excellent snack in general. It’s tangy and zesty and has an incredible texture because of its spherical seeds. This pickled okra has a little sweetness and then it hits you with the heat. A jar of these makes one of the best spicy snacks and an incredibly refreshing bite.
