What are your favorite summer snacks?

These are my favorite snacks - summer or winter, no matter the season, haha. 

I buy them at Walmart in the frozen food aisle, and I go through them so quickly. 

You can keep them frozen and take out a few puffs at a time, defrost them either at room temperature or in the fridge. Defrosting the puffs at room temperature is faster, but defrosting in the fridge yields better-tasting puffs. The cream inside the puff stays cool if you defrost it in the fridge, really bringing out the flavor. 

Each puff is bite-sized, so it makes a great appetizer if you're hosting a summer party.

If you're a gelato lover, Talenti will satisfy your summer sugar cravings.

My favorite flavor is Pacific Coast Pistachio, but Talenti has oh-so-many flavors! 

The Pacific Coast Pistachio flavor contains generous bits of crushed pistachio, and eating it is just so delightful. 

The flavor and texture of Talenti gelato are perfect, and I have to be careful not to finish the whole pint at once. 

The ingredient list is simple, and the gelato doesn't seem to contain a whole lot of artificial ingredients. 

It's also gluten-free, in case you're wondering.

This dried mango! 

Forget about any other dried mango you find at grocery stores or even in the Philippines. This dried mango from Thailand is on a totally different level. 

I first tried it on the plane as it was offered as an in-flight snack. That tiny snack-sized dried mango got me hooked, and I searched all over Amazon to buy the larger size. 

These mango slices are so sweet and perfectly chewy. They don't have any tough, thread-like parts that are close to the core. Most dried mango slices contain them, and I'm so not a fan of them. They're so delicious.

Zespri Gold Kiwi is the perfect summer fruit. 

Honestly, I'm not a huge green Kiwi person, but gold Kiwi is a different story. They are so much sweeter than the sour, tart green Kiwi. 

I suggest you get the gold Kiwi from Zespri. I've tried regular gold Kiwis, but they weren't as sweet as Zespri ones.
