Walmart's aisles are absolutely packed with great products, from little-known fast-food dupes to dietician-approved weight loss finds. And according to one super fan, some Walmart foods are so delectable that they're worth booking it to your nearest store at the earliest opportunity.
TikToker @morganchompz has developed a massive following with her reviews of chain restaurants and grocery products. And in a recent viral video with more than 43,000 views, she gave fellow fans the lowdown on all the foods "worth sprinting to Walmart for."
Though Walmart sells a plethora of classic name-brand products, the TikToker highlighted lesser-known products from the retailer's private labels, such as Great Value, Marketside, and Bettergoods. So if you've been itching to try out these house brands but aren't quite sure where to start, this list may be able to point you in the right direction.

Cheesecake or blueberry pie? With Walmart's Marketside No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Parfait, you won't have to decide between the two iconic desserts.

Walmart's Great Value Three Cheese Shells & Cheese is not only extremely tasty, but it's also quite a steal, according to @morganchompz.

Walmart offers a variety of sliced loaf cakes under its Marketside private-label brand, from chocolate to banana nut. But @morganchompz says the Iced Cinnamon Sliced Loaf Cake is a cut above the rest.
"It's like a cinnamon roll and coffee cake all in the form of a loaf cake, with just the right amount of icing on top. Seriously, so good chilled in the fridge for a bit."
Eight-count boxes of the cake slices are currently selling for $4.98.

"They are so packed full of flavor. They've got that delicious bite of gouda, and they're so coated and crunchy. I will be buying another bag of these," the TikToker said.
Eight-ounce bags of the snack are currently selling for $2.44.
