Here’s a list of top-rated Buc-ee’s snacks for your next Georgia road trip

We all know Buc-ee’s is the go-to spot for gas, but it is also a great place to stop and grab your favorite (or next favorite) snack.

Here’s a list of the best of the best snacks, available at Buc-ee’s in Georgia and across the United States:

Jalapeño-Cheddar kolache

If you are unfamiliar with kolaches, they are sweet bread pastries typically stuffed with fruit; however, Buc-ee’s always goes big. Their jalapeno-cheddar kolache is one you don’t want to miss. It is stuffed with spicy jalapeños, meaty sausage and warm Cheddar cheese, just like the perfect jalapeño popper. Get it piping hot now, at any Buc-ee’s location.

Jerky

At Buc-ee’s, jerky is taken seriously, as there is a whole wall devoted to the meaty snack. And the flavors are endless — there’s lemon pepper, teriyaki, bohemian garlic, sweet and spicy, ghost pepper and cherry maple.

Beaver nuggets

As Atlanta Magazine says, Beaver Nuggets are “Pops turned up to 11.” Beaver nuggets, also known as “Buc-ee’s nug-ees” are crunchy corn puffs with either sweet, spicy or salty flavoring. Get them in bold and spicy, sea salt caramel, original or chocolate dipped.

Fudge

Buc-ee’s is a wonderful source for fudge. They have an entire counter with every kind of fudge you can imagine, 24 kinds in all. From M & M to peanut butter and even watermelon fudge, there’s something for everyone at the fudge counter.

Can’t decide on just one flavor? Pick and choose with a box of assorted fudge.

Breakfast tacos

If you’re looking for a heftier snack, Buc-ee’s tacos or burritos are sure to fill you up and satisfy at least one of your cravings.

The tacos come in the standard breakfast combinations of egg and sausage and cheese. But the menu has a few surprises for you: the hippo and the rhino taco. The hippo is filled with beans, bacon, egg, cheese and potatoes; and the rhino is with sausage instead of bacon.

Bonus: you can add jalapeños for free.
