Better Made Snack ������ϲ�ͼ������s

A Detroit icon, Better Made has been churning out savory snacks for nearly a century. Best known for its Wavy and Red Hot BBQ potato chips, the company has also expanded its offerings to include popcorn, pork rinds, cheese puffs, seasoned pretzels, and more; .

Dave’s Sweet Tooth Toffee

Dave’s Sweet Tooth Toffee prides itself on being handmade, homemade, and Michigan-made — not to mention, family-made. What started as a passion project for former Detroit firefighter Dave Chmielewski has evolved into a full line of toffees in a range of flavors carried on by Dave’s son Andrew; .

Daily Crunch Snacks

Is it a normal workday if you’re not mindlessly noshing on snacks while crunching numbers and sending emails?
