As people who write about food and kitchen gadgets for a living, Bon Appétit editors are constantly surrounded by a wide range of products. Between our own purchases and the endless stream of samples sent our way, it means there’s always something new coming across our desks and into our homes. Every month, we’re rounding up the standouts we’ve tested or bought ourselves that changed the way we cook and eat.

This month, a refreshing energy drink alternative, moreish Parmesan ranch potato chips, and our current favorite wood cutting board.

Read on for all of the products we’ve been obsessing over this April.

Snactiv Lite Finger Chopsticks 4-Pack

I love snacks that are covered in flavor dust. Popcorn covered in cheesy dust, crackers covered in ranch-y dust, tortilla chips covered in—well, I guess that’s also cheese dust. I don’t love how these snacks leave my fingertips covered in said dust. “Whoever could invent something to fix this,” I’ve often thought to myself, “would become a bazillionaire.”

I don’t know if the people behind Snactiv, the maker of an “ergonomic snacking tool” that slips onto your fingers so you can grab your snacks without getting dirty, are now bazillionaires, but they are definitely geniuses. We throw the word “game-changing” around a lot, but these little pinchers have truly solved one of life’s great annoyances, and I am much, much happier for it. —Abbey Stone, shopping and reviews lead
