Sweet first, then heat — and by the time it catches up with you, you're already reaching for another one.
Sweet & Sparky leads with sugar and finishes with a real kick from a zesty, buffalo-style hot sauce powder — cayenne, vinegar, garlic, the works. This isn't a "hint of spice" pretzel. It's vegan, twisted into actual braids, and built for anyone who considers heat a feature, not a warning label.
The artwork on this bag comes from Carly Agopian and Bobby Sutton, two LA-based multimedia artists and longtime friends who collaborate across painting, murals, ceramics, and pretty much anything else that holds still long enough. This design is pulled from a larger joint piece of theirs called "Monsters on Vacation."

The Snack
Sweet & Sparky opens sweet and turns up the heat fast — the seasoning is built on a hot sauce powder with cayenne, vinegar, and garlic, so the spice is real, not decorative. Twisted into full braids rather than bite-size nuggets, vegan, and made without peanuts.
Every Stellar Snacks flavor carries original artwork from a different artist or artist pair. This bag features work from Carly Agopian and Bobby Sutton, LA-based friends and collaborators whose joint art practice spans painting, murals, ceramics, sculpture, and more — the bag design is a piece of their larger painting "Monsters on Vacation."
