Today, Kevin and I are sampling a variety of Fieras spicy snacks from Dollar Tree. These snacks include the Chili and Lime Spicy Sticks, Spicy Nacho, and Habanero and Lime Rolled Corn Chips. Priced at $1.25 each, these snacks are exclusively distributed by Dollar Tree, as indicated on the packaging.
Fieras Chili and Lime Spicy Sticks
The Chili and Lime Spicy Sticks are gluten-free, spicy corn sticks, weighing 5 oz (141.5g). Each bag contains approximately five servings, with 130 calories per 1 oz (28g) serving, which is about 12 sticks.
Upon opening the bag, the vibrant red color and strong chili aroma were noticeable. The texture was reminiscent of crunchy Chinese noodles often found in trail mixes. The heat level was intense, with a pronounced chili powder flavor balanced by a hint of lime. However, the spiciness was overwhelming, resulting in a painful, stinging sensation.
Fieras Spicy Nacho Rolled Corn Chips
Next, we tried the Spicy Nacho Rolled Corn Chips, also priced at $1.25. These chips are rolled, making them easier to eat compared to traditional triangular tortilla chips. Each serving is about 12 chips, with 130 calories.
The texture of these chips was enjoyable—crunchy but not overly hard like a Frito. The lime flavor was more pronounced than in the Spicy Sticks, and while the heat was present, it was much more manageable. These chips offered a more balanced heat, making them a preferable choice for those who enjoy a spicy snack without the painful burn.
Fieras Habanero and Lime Rolled Corn Chips
Lastly, we sampled the Habanero and Lime Rolled Corn Chips. These chips are skinnier and rolled tighter than the others. Each serving of these chips is 12 chips, totaling 150 calories.
Despite the intimidating packaging, which features a habanero pepper on fire, the heat level was surprisingly mild. The flavor was predominantly the corn chip with a subtle lime taste. These chips were the least spicy of all the flavors we tried, making them an unexpected choice for those cautious about heat.
Conclusion
Among the Fieras snacks, our top pick is the Spicy Nacho Rolled Corn Chips for their balanced flavor and manageable heat. The Habanero and Lime Chips come next, with their mild spice and enjoyable corn flavor. The Chili and Lime Spicy Sticks, while flavorful, were too intensely hot for our liking.
