The Frozen Snack At Walmart We Ranked The Absolute Worst

Making snacks from scratch is a cost-saving move that allows you to truly consider every ingredient. However, keeping a batch of store-bought frozen eats like Hot Pockets and Bagel Bites on hand is a saving grace when you're short on time. Just avoid the one we found to be the absolute worst in our ranking of 11 frozen snacks you can find at Walmart: Snapps potato skins stuffed with cheddar cheese and bacon.

Each box of these stuffed spuds contains five servings and costs just over $4, which is a pretty reasonable price for what's promised. Having said that, even the low cost of this frozen snack wasn't enough to tempt us to buy it again. There is simply something missing from the flavor profile that prevents these baked tubers from hitting the mark when it comes to taste and texture. While they're not completely bad, they have a middling vibe that's neither here nor there, an almost watered-down quality. And they're definitely not portable due to the messy fillings inside. If you're after a carby, handheld nibble with oodles of flavor, you're better off finding a different snack — let our list of 21 Great Value snacks ranked from worst to best be your guide.

Making a batch of loaded potato skins at home isn't difficult, but it does take time. You have to bake the potatoes, scoop out their fluffy centers, and brush them with oil before re-baking them (so they can turn crispy) before stuffing them. This is why a box of pre-made frozen tater skins would ordinarily be such a convenient snack to stash in the freezer. 

However, the mediocre flavor of Snapps' offering left us unimpressed, a view that was echoed in several customer reviews on the Walmart website. One commenter describes them as being "[all right] for a cheap snack if you're in a pinch. But they're not great." They added, " There's not a lot of cheese on them. I like a fully cheesed-out potato skin. They're okay, but I probably won't be buying again." Another states, "These were so puny and dry, there was just nothing to love there."

The best savory snack in our ranking is Farm Rich Breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks. They are well seasoned, with a crispy breading and a gooey middle that leaves us wanting more.
