We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are the three classic staples of mealtime, but for many Americans and other people around the globe, we have certainly begun to appreciate our designated snack time, in which we can grab a quick bite to eat to keep us going until the next meal — or snack time. Fortunately for us, there are a countless number of different snacks you can choose from. If you like something sweet, there are granola bars and fruits, and if you prefer something more on the savory side, there are chips, crackers, and pretzels. Either way, there’s a little something for everyone when it comes to snack time.
One crunchy, baked snack that offers a savory taste is Combos. As the name suggests, the delicious stuffed snacks take the saltiness of your classic pretzels and crackers, and combines it with wonderful cheese and meat flavors. Ever since the early 1970s, this snack has been experimenting with many different snack combinations (via Combos). There are a few standard Combos flavors to choose from, and admittedly, some are a lot better than others. Here are all of the core Combos snack flavors, ranked from worst to best. This way, when you’re choosing your next snack from the gas station or your handy snack stash, you don’t spend a long time figuring out what Combos variety will best fit your tastes.
- Spicy Honey Mustard Pretzel
There’s nothing like a fresh pretzel with a spicy, savory honey mustard for dipping. Combos attempts to replicate this flavor with its Spicy Honey Mustard Pretzel flavor, which consists of crunchy pretzel bits filled with a spicy honey mustard-flavored cheese filling. When you bite into these snacks, you’re likely expecting the sweet, yet spicy kick of mustard to go along with the salty baked pretzel exterior. However, you’ll likely find this flavor a little underwhelming, especially if you’ve ever had a good honey mustard pretzel before.
The pretzel part tastes really good, as most of the pretzel-based Combos do. However, other than the pretzel exterior, there isn’t really anything special to say about this flavor. The flavor of spicy mustard isn’t really there. Instead, it just tastes more like the brand’s cheddar cheese pretzel Combos as opposed to anything else, much like anything with true spice and heat (via Taquitos Snack Reviews). To be fair, this flavor isn’t bad, exactly. If you really focus, you might be able pick up the lightest hints of the spicy, distinctive taste of honey mustard, but it’s still not quite enough to really merit making an entirely different flavor. All told, this is a pretty typical Combos snack, with nothing that really makes it stand out on the gas station snack shelves other than its unfulfilled flavor promise.
- Cheddar Cheese Pretzel
Combos
The next flavor on this list is Combos’ Cheddar Cheese Pretzel flavor. This was the original flavor that Combos made when it was first founded (via Combos). There’s nothing surprising about this snack, made from a crunchy pretzel tube filled with creamy cheddar cheese-flavored filling. That’s it. It’s a classic for sure, and a staple among Combos flavors. If you ever find yourself thinking about having some Combos, this is likely to be the one of the easiest varieties to find.
Yet, there’s nothing really unique about this flavor, though we do feel that Combos generally does pretzels a lot better than its cracker snacks — which is why this places higher than the cracker variation of this flavor. The pretzels are salty and flavorful, as is the cheesy filling. It doesn’t exactly replicate taking a soft baked pretzel and dipping it into a cheesy dip, but for the snack that it is, this is a wonderful Combos flavor. We definitely recommend this if you find yourself craving a cheesy pretzel snack.
- Buffalo Blue Cheese Pretzel
There’s a lot you can do with blue cheese, from putting atop a burger to incorporating it into some Buffalo chicken dip. It’s also a key flavor in this next Combos variety, Buffalo Blue Cheese Pretzel. These stuffed pretzels are filled with a spicy Buffalo blue cheese flavor of filling. All told, it tastes surprisingly like the sort of Buffalo dip you may come across at a restaurant or party. Like you may already do with Buffalo wings, you could also dip this snack into some ranch dressing, if you’re feel that it needs an extra kick of flavor and don’t mind a some extra work. However, the snack itself is flavorful enough, so you might not need to go to that effort.
This Combos snack is pretty spot on in terms of flavor, with blue cheese taste that goes well with the hard pretzel exterior. It’s cheesy, salty, savory, and flavorful — what more would you want? There’s no actual meat involved, like an actual Buffalo wing, but you probably aren’t really expecting that from this snack. You may find this flavor a little more difficult to find in stores, but other than that, this is a very interesting and tasty Combos entry.
- Pizzeria Pretzel
Ah, pizza. There’s a lot you can do with this beloved dish but, honestly? It’s hard to top a classic cheese pizza. The combination of the crust, acidic tomato sauce, and savory cheese is hard to beat. It’s an iconic experience. Like pepperoni pizza, though, you might not want to have an entire slice of pizza for a snack. Fortunately for you, Combos has a flavor that wonderfully replicates the taste of a cheese pizza, but with a pretzel twist. The brand’s Pizzeria Pretzel is, in our opinion, one of the best pizza-flavored snacks that the company carries.
This Combos variety manages to encapsulate the flavors of a fresh cheese pizza fantastically. These combos are a bit salty, but we believe that further helps this snack taste like a savory slice of cheese pizza. This is probably as close to a cheese pizza a snack can get without being the actual thing. Overall, if you like cheese pizzas, pretzels, and bite-sized snacks, then this Combos flavor is just about perfect for you.

5. Cheddar Cheese Cracker
Overall, we can see why this would be a classic combo favorite to many, but it could use a little more pizazz when put up against the other flavors Combos has to offer.
