🤠 Snackin’ Buckaroo Review: Buc-ee’s Cookie Bites

YEEHAW, BUCKAROOS — gather ‘round, because I’ve got a snack review hotter than a brisket sandwich fresh off the pit! On our recent Buc-ee’s adventure in Leeds, my wife and I moseyed on over to the snack aisle (which, let’s be honest, might as well be a land of dreams) and stumbled upon a trio of treats that just about made us do the Big Buckin’ Buc-ee’s Salute right there next to the Beaver Nuggets.

We’re talkin’ Buc-ee’s Cookie Bites — and not just one flavor — three mighty fine snackin’ options:

🍰 Birthday Cake Cookie Bites

These little golden nuggets are like a full-blown birthday party packed into a single bite.
We’re talkin’:

  • Crispy cookie center

  • Sweet, cake-flavored coating (sprinkles included!)

  • Gluten-free and made without artificial colors or sweeteners

  • No high fructose corn syrup (that’s right — the Beaver done good)

These bites are fun. You pop one of these in your mouth and suddenly you’re hearing the faint sound of folks singing “Happy Birthday” to you… even if it ain’t your birthday. They taste like celebration, joy, and confetti cannons going off in your mouth — without the cleanup.

🍪 Cookies ’N Crème Cookie Bites

Now these? These are the real “oh, I’ll just try one” turned “Wait… where’d the whole box go?” situation.

  • Crunchy cookie center

  • Smooth, creamy coating

  • Gluten-free

  • No artificial sweeteners

  • No high fructose corn syrup

They’ve got that perfect crunchy-meets-creamy moment — like dunking a cookie in milk but without the work. These are excellent for road trips… though I must warn you: one box may not survive past the first state line.

🍫 Triple Chocolate Cookie Bites

Hold your hat. Hold your heart. Hold your horse.
This one is for the serious snackin’ cowboys out there.

  • A rich chocolate cookie core

  • Wrapped in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, AND white chocolate

  • That’s right… three chocolates.
    Count ’em. One, two, three.

This is the kind of snack where you lean back, close your eyes, and reevaluate your life choices — in a good way. Perfect for sharing… but I’ll be honest — I did not share. And I do not regret it.


🧭 Snackin’ Buckaroo’s Final Ride-Home Verdict:

If you see these boxes while passing through Buc-ee’s, do not walk, don’t trot — gallop.
These cookie bites are one of the best grab-and-go sweets in the entire store — festive, flavorful, snackable, and road-trip approved.

And hey — they’re gluten-free and free from all that artificial nonsense.
So that means they’re basically health food, right?

(…Don’t quote me on that. But also, yes. Spiritually.)


So next time you’re wanderin’ through the traveler’s oasis known as Buc-ee’s, grab yourself a box of these cookie bites and treat your tastebuds to a snack-tastic rodeo.

Keep snackin’. Keep smilin’. Keep travelin’.

Buc-ee’s Finally Coming to Boerne: A Texas-Sized Win Years in the Making

After nearly a decade of discussion, debate, and determination, it’s official—Buc-ee’s is coming to Boerne, Texas!

On Monday, October 27, 2025, the Boerne City Council unanimously approved an amended development agreement with the Texas-based travel center icon. The deal includes several key compromises designed to balance Buc-ee’s signature charm with Boerne’s community values.

District 5 Councilman Dr. Joseph Macaluso, who has led negotiations for nearly ten years, called the agreement a product of persistence and dedication. “This reflects years of work to secure a better outcome for our community,” Macaluso said. While Buc-ee’s first reached an agreement with the city back in 2016, Macaluso’s leadership helped fine-tune the project to address residents’ concerns about size, lighting, and environmental impact.

Under the updated agreement, the Boerne Buc-ee’s will feature:

  • A 54,000-square-foot building (smaller than the usual Buc-ee’s footprint)

  • 100 fueling stations (50 islands with two pumps each)

  • A 60-foot-tall main sign, trimmed down from the usual 75 feet

  • An 8-foot security fence and a 9-acre buffer zone

  • Compliance with dark-sky lighting standards to preserve Boerne’s night views

  • Enhanced landscaping for visual appeal and local harmony

In addition, eighteen-wheelers will be prohibited, except those delivering directly to the store—a nod to community concerns about heavy truck traffic.

Despite the scaled-down design, the new Buc-ee’s is still set to deliver a major boost to Boerne’s economy, bringing an estimated 200 new jobs once the store opens.

For locals and travelers alike, the Boerne Buc-ee’s will offer everything fans have come to love—clean restrooms, fresh brisket sandwiches, Beaver Nuggets, and that unmistakable Texas hospitality.

So, Boerne buckaroos, get ready—your Travelers’ Oasis is finally on the horizon!

Keep snackin’. Keep smilin’. Keep travelin’. 🦫🤠

Buc-ee’s Boom: The Beaver Keeps Growing Across America!

The Buc-ee’s empire just keeps on expanding! From the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes, the beloved Texas-based travel center known for its world-famous brisket, Beaver Nuggets, and squeaky-clean restrooms is bringing more beaver joy to travelers than ever before.

This summer alone, Buc-ee’s cut the ribbon on three brand-new locations, marking major milestones for the chain:

  • Harrison County, Mississippi opened on June 9, 2025, giving the Magnolia State its very first Buc-ee’s.

  • Rockingham County, Virginia followed soon after, opening its doors on June 30, 2025, and officially welcoming Buc-ee’s to the Old Dominion.

  • Then, just one day later, Brunswick, Georgia, opened on July 1, 2025, expanding the Peach State’s Buc-ee’s family once again.

But Buc-ee’s isn’t stopping there. The Beaver is already looking ahead to a massive lineup of new locations set to open throughout 2026 and beyond. Fans across seven states have plenty to look forward to:

  • Goodyear, Arizona – June 2026

  • Benton, Arkansas – September 2026

  • Ocala, Florida – 2026

  • Monroe County, Georgia – Early 2026

  • Mebane, North Carolina – Late 2026 or Early 2027

  • Huber Heights, Ohio – April 2026

  • Boerne, Texas – 2026

  • San Marcos, Texas – May 2026

From the desert sun of Arizona to the rolling hills of North Carolina, Buc-ee’s is making sure travelers everywhere have a place to refuel, recharge, and enjoy a little taste of Texas on the road.

Every new Buc-ee’s brings hundreds of jobs, incredible food, and that signature blend of hospitality that turns a quick pit stop into a destination all its own.

The Beaver’s building boom shows no sign of slowing down — and that means more brisket, more Beaver Nuggets, and more reasons to hit the highway!
