The candy and snacks on Oprah’s 2021 Favorite Things List

Three candy and snack companies make Oprah’s annual list of her favorite things.

By Crystal Lindell
Oprah Favorite Things 2021
December 6, 2021

Oprah has again released her annual Favorite Things List, and this year’s list includes three candy and snack items. 


The items, along with descriptions from Oprah, are listed below. For the full list of items, which are broken down by category, visit Oprah Daily. 


Heaton Pecans Three-Way Assorted Gift Tin

Heaton Gift Tin

"These pecans are harvested on a farm in my home state of Mississippi. The tin includes chocolate, praline, and roasted salted pecans. And you can feel extra good about your purchase: The Heaton family, who own the farm, lost a son to addiction, so they donate all their proceeds to help others dealing with addiction issues."

$41 at heatonpecans.com

Stone Hollow Farmstead Heirloom Popcorn Gift Box

Stone Hallow

"Who wouldn’t love to receive these beautiful jars of popcorn? Great for snackers and movie buffs alike, the various kernels all have slightly different flavor profiles, making for a fun taste test. For my movie nights, I pop them in truffle oil and add some truffle salt!"


$79 at stonehollowfarmstead.com


Tonya's Cookies Pecan Crisp Jar

Tonya Cookes


"You won’t even know that these are gluten-free! Baker Tonya Council wanted GF cookies that tasted like her grandmother’s pie. The result: a sweet treat that’s rich while somehow staying very light."


$43 at tonyascookies.com


Baker Tonya Council, of Tonya’s Cookies, commented on being named as part of the Favorite Things list.


"Growing up in my family's restaurant business, I've always known I was meant to be involved with food," Council said. "I originally made my Pecan Crisp Cookies as a tribute to my grandmother and her delicious pecan pie. It's incredible to see them reaching such a wide audience, and I hope that my story inspires others to follow their own dreams."
