What snack are you addicted to? (1 Viewer)

[Rodney]

Lately I've been addicted to these:

 

[BobO'Link]

There's no single snack I eat all the time, rather several I somewhat rotate through:

Knott's Berry Farms Blueberry or Boysenberry Shortbread cookies.
Nonni's Limoncello Pistachio or Dark Chocolate Biscotti.
Craisins (blueberry or pomegranate flavored).
Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai & Blueberry, Pomegranate, or Goji & Raspberry candies.
Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar Jalapeno
Planter's Deluxe Mixed Nuts
Pistachio nuts
Belvita - Cranberry/Orange, Blueberry, Chocolate, or Toasted Coconut "Breakfast" Biscuits (these are pretty much the same as the discontinued Newtons Fruit Thins cookies in a different shape).
Fig Newtons (sometimes a fruit variant - either berry, apple, or blueberry)
Triscuits Thin Crisps
Keebler Club Minis Multi-Grain
Townhouse Pretzel Thins

Usually just a single serving of one of those most days to fill the snack craving without expanding the waist.

While I don't consider it a snack, I have a piece of dark chocolate every day, usually a half serving. Preferably Lindt 85% or 90%, or a piece of Dove dark. Occasionally I manage to score a Lindt 99% bar and have a small square with my morning coffee (around 10:30). It's great to place a small piece on the tongue and sip the coffee over the top.

3 or 4 cups of coffee every evening before I go to sleep.

(I know it is a very lousy thing to be addicted to).

Not big on sweets, but I do enjoy good chocolate. Normally in the 85% range, any higher it's just to bitter.

So many things that you mentioned are wonderful, but I behave, only small doses

Shopping a lot at Trader Joe's. I like their version of dried cranberries, cheetos and low sodium nuts.

Used to really enjoy Triscuits, they were buttery and flavorful, but I think they changed their recipe, now they're like cardboard so they've dropped off my list. I also avoid anything "Keebler". A few years ago bought some crackers, then discovered the first ingredient was "fat". Never again.

Found this on a web-site:
Keebler Club Original Crackers are made of vegetable shortening, high fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, sugar, riboflavin, thiamine and enriched flour.

Mostly chips, but I like Dum Dum pops, fireballs, Reeses pieces, Milk Duds, Werther's Originals, and Nerds.

Werther's Originals are hardly original any longer. The old fashioned German recipe is gone, now they use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, yuck.

Jelly Belly jelly beans from Costco

My grandmother got me started on these when I was a kid in the 70's. Every time I went to her house I had to have a bowl. I came over one night and she was out of milk, only having buttermilk in the fridge. I demanded a bowl anyway. I sat there and ate it with buttermilk! I don't even put them in a bowl anymore. I just eat straight from the box with a glass of milk.

 

[NeatStuff]

I haven't seen that on the shelf in years around here.

Walmart is real good about keeping it in stock, but I don't get there too often. I do my shopping at Kroger and they've recently added it back.

 

[Johnny Angell]

Wendy's Large Chocolate Frosties. I am addicted to them. I buy one with a burger, but I could easily eat 2.

The small ones are fifty cents. I had one yesterday. Yum!

Bought a box of these at Costco. I can plow through a couple of sleeves in one sitting.

After I started my life style change last February, I found out I'm not addicted to any snack food. It's not to say I miss eating dark chocolate for example, but I can live without it.

You and me both. I long for the days when I could eat whatever the hell I wanted and still stay thin.

 

[Alf S]

Yep, I miss the days when I could polish off 5-6 McD cheesburgers, side of fries and a Coke and not gain a pound.

Very brave having them with buttermilk, something I just can't do. Buttermilk is good for one thing only, soaking chicken before dipping in flour and frying.

My grandfather used to chug buttermilk by the quart. No way could I do that.

Even the cereal would be tough. Very healthy, but has the consistency of sawdust.

I'd never again do the buttermilk thing. It's great for pancakes or biscuits, but not much else!

It also makes an excellent chocolate cake (mom's recipe).

The hardest 50 cents I ever earned (in 1968) was drinking a 4 oz. glass of buttermilk. Dad offered my sister and me $1 to drink a full glass and we talked him down to the smaller glass for less money. To this day he puts white beans on that chocolate cake mom makes, hits it with a bit of pepper sauce, and washes it down with butter milk. Yuck!

Those things look like "granny cookies".

Probably are, but they are addictive!
