Dried Fruits & Nuts
A long-time staple for the road, you can’t go wrong with nuts and dried fruits. And we’ve got them all from mixed nuts to sweets nuts, salted nuts, raw nuts, dried fruits and even chocolate covered fruits and nuts.
Oriental Rice Crackers
Next up is a local favourite and our most popular snack by far. Oriental rice crackers are light and crunchy, and bursting with umami flavour. Try a variety pack or grab a bag of Nori Maki — soy sauce flavored rice crackers, each wrapped in seaweed.
NoochPOP!
Vegan and gluten free, NoochPOP! is the ultimate healthy popcorn snack. It’s made with nutritional yeast (Nooch) which is a savoury, dairy-free cheese alternative made from plant-based ingredients. So if you like it cheesy, you’ll want to dive into this one.
Jerky
Welcome to the world of high-protein, cured-meat snacks. This beloved treat is a well-known companion on long trips because it’s easy to munch on while driving and quickly fills the hunger gap. It’s so popular, in fact, that we’ve got a whole rack dedicated to the meat jerky.
Feel Good Chocolate bars
There’s chocolate and then there’s next-level chocolate. Join the craft chocolate revolution and find your favourite bars with our selection of premium, sustainable, fairtrade and vegan chocolates. Camino for the road? They’re simply Divine. Or is that being too Cheeky? We’ll leave it to you to find your own pun.
These fancy chocolate bars come beautifully wrapped making great gifts too!
Kettle chips
You say potato, we say potahto. It’s pretty much the same thing but if you’re looking for a healthier, more wholesome potato snack then kettle chips are the way to go. You’ll enjoy a thicker, crunchier chewing experience compared to classic thin chips.
Retro candy
Since we’re going on a trip, why not head down memory lane too? Old-time candies that you’ll remember from when you were a kid like Licorice Allsorts, Chicken Bones, Big League Chew, Bottle Caps and Chupa Chups, Airheads, Nerds, and Thrills Gum (Yes, it even still tastes like soap!). These candies will bring back all the feels while watching the scenery pass by.
Soda pops
Of course, you’ll need something to wash it all down with. Pop your head in the cooler and check out an assortment of old-fashioned sodas and uniquely- flavoured ginger brews. Not to mention, ginger is a great stomach soother for those averse to winding roads.
And there you have our top picks for the road. Don’t get caught hangry. Load up on tasty snacks for your next road trip adventure at the Rosswood General Store. Better yet, pick up some extras while you’re here so you always have some good snacks on hand.
