Sweet American Snacks
If you’ve watched enough American TV, you already know these by name. Here’s what we stock on the sweet side.
Hostess Twinkies
Twinkies are golden sponge cakes with a creamy filling, sold in a 385g box. They’re a fun lunchbox surprise, a quirky addition to a dessert platter, or the answer for anyone who has only ever seen them in films. For a party platter, slice each one in half so the filling shows and guests can take a smaller piece.
Chips Ahoy cookies
We stock two versions of these chocolate chip cookies:
- Chips Ahoy Original Cookies, 368g: the classic packet for dunking, lunchboxes and after-school snacks.
- Nabisco Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chunky Cookies, 333g: as the name says, bigger chunks of chocolate for a more generous bite.
Both work beautifully for simple desserts. Sandwich a scoop of ice cream between two cookies and freeze for an hour, or crumble a few over a bowl of ice cream or a trifle.
Savoury American Snacks
On the savoury side, it’s all about cheese and chilli.
- Cheetos Crunchy, 8oz (226.8g): cheesy, crunchy and heat-free, which makes it the crowd-pleaser of the range.
- Cheetos Flamin’ Hot, 8oz: Cheetos with a fiery coating for people who want their cheese snack to bite back.
- Cheetos Mac Cheese Jalapeno, 164g: Cheetos-branded mac and cheese with a jalapeño twist. Follow the directions on the pack and serve it as a side at an American-themed dinner.
- Takis Fuego (92g and 280g) and Takis Blue Heat (92g): rolled tortilla chips with serious heat. Fuego brings chilli and lime, while Blue Heat stands out for its blue chips.
Takis fans can see every flavour and size on our Takis Australia page, and there are more bags to explore in our chips range.

Matching Snacks to the Occasion
Sweet or savoury is only the first question. Think about who’s eating and where.
- Movie night: a big bag of Cheetos Crunchy to share, plus a box of Twinkies for the halfway break.
- Gaming sessions: Takis Fuego in the 92g size, so everyone has their own bag and nobody fights over the last handful.
- Kids’ parties: Chips Ahoy and Cheetos Crunchy keep things heat-free. Save the Takis for the grown-ups’ table.
- An American-themed dinner: Cheetos Mac Cheese Jalapeno as a side, chips in bowls on the table, and cookies with ice cream for dessert.
- Office snack drawer: a packet of Chips Ahoy for the afternoon slump and a bag of Takis for the brave.
American Snack Care Packages and Gifts
A box of American snacks makes a great gift for a homesick expat, a uni student, or a friend who can’t stop talking about their last trip to the States. A simple formula keeps it balanced:
- One sweet hero: a box of Twinkies or a packet of Chips Ahoy.
- One cheesy snack: Cheetos Crunchy is the safe choice.
- One hot pick: a Takis flavour or Cheetos Flamin’ Hot.
- A few lollies or bars: round it out with something from our American candy range.
When packing, put boxes and heavier items at the bottom, cookies in the middle, and chip bags on top so nothing gets crushed. Fill any gaps with lollies so the contents don’t slide around.
Storing Imported Snacks
- Read the date carefully. Some imported packs print dates in a different order from what we’re used to, so check whether the month or the day comes first.
- Keep cookies airtight. Once opened, move Chips Ahoy into a sealed container so they stay crisp.
- Clip your chips. Squeeze out the air, fold the top of the bag and use a clip.
- Beat the heat. Store everything in a cool, dry cupboard out of direct sun, especially in summer.
- Check allergens. Cheese snacks, cakes and cookies can contain milk, wheat, egg or soy, so read the pack before sharing.
