Snacks for the Office: Bulk Picks

A good office snack stash does three things: it has something for everyone, it comes in single-serve packs, and it doesn't run out by Wednesday. Buying in bulk boxes solves all three. Here are the bulk picks we'd stock for a break room, sorted by what people actually reach for.

Chips and crackers

Variety boxes are the backbone of any office snack drawer. The Frito-Lay Classic Mix holds 50 one-ounce bags across Doritos, Cheetos, Fritos, Ruffles and Lay's, and the Lay's box covers five potato chip flavors. Cheez-It pouches are a good cheesy option for people who want a cracker instead.

Popcorn and pretzels

For the salty crowd that wants a break from chips, SkinnyPop comes in a 36-bag box with Original, White Cheddar and Kettle Corn. Pretzel Crisps come 24 to a box in three flavors, and Landau spelt pretzels come in 1 oz bags, 32 to a box.

Nuts

Single-serve nut packs keep hands out of a shared bowl. The Planters box has 24 bags of cashews and peanuts, including honey roasted. If your team prefers a bowl, a big tub of Kirkland mixed nuts or roasted pistachios goes a long way.

Rice cakes

Drizzilicious mini rice cake bites are a crunchy, lightly sweet snack with a drizzle on top, and the variety packs let everyone find a favorite. They're a nice change from the chip box.

Snack bars

Bars are the easiest grab-and-go option for people running between meetings. Quaker Chewy comes 60 to a box, Nature's Bakery fig bars come 40 to a case, and Kind bars come 18 to a box with two flavors.

Candy for the meeting bowl

A candy bowl does a lot for morale. The Kirkland Signature Favorites bag has about 150 fun-size pieces, including Kit Kat, Snickers, Twix and Reese's. For bigger treats, the Hershey's box holds 30 full-size bars.

How much to order

• Small office (5 to 10 people): one chip box, one bar box, one nut box and a bag of candy is a good first order.
• Bigger teams: double the chips and bars first. Those usually go fastest.
• Mix it up: rotate in one new box each order so the drawer doesn't get boring.
