My favorites are popcorn and cheese curls. Bearitos makes an organic cheese popcorn that I used to buy by the case. Can't find it now. Fab fab snack. At the WholePaycheck a couple of weeks ago, there was a shipment of organic Bearitos corn puffs. Veggie powder flavor and cheese flavor. I bought 4 bags of the veggie flavor and scarfed them (not all at once). They were good.

There was an entire wall of these snacks, and they sold out in two weeks. They tasted like cheese curls, but not chemical-ey. I also like nuts. Almonds, macadamia nuts, pistachios etc. I guess we are rich and lucky that we can get these in bags and not have to climb trees for them and shell them etc.

Ooh the poster above me reminded me that I also love CHESSMEN. These are so good. I'm sure they are not health food, but they don't have as many calories as I'd have imagined.

Apart from the very occasional pizza, none, ever. Uh... does ice cream count? If it does I'm guilty as hell.

BTW, just started reading the F&D forum recently and it's really very witty and has some great threads -- really enjoying reading it.

I don't keep them in the house for this reason.
Isn't portion control using both hands?

Mexican Coke, which I am really trying to limit. What I don't keep in the house is crunchy Cheetos, because I can eat the whole bag in one sitting. No one is permitted to bring them into the house--I have no self-control.

Mine are:

Palmer's chocolate (they make those cheap hollow seasonal novelties like Santa Claus, Easter eggs and Easter Bunnies)
Gummi bears
Nutella
Condensed milk straight from the tin
Chocolate chips straight from the bag
Chocolate covered graham crackers
Wheat Thins
Corn Nuts

I'm embarassed to admit that I even like some of this stuff!
Fun thread, and I only read up to here, but wanted to ask while I was thinking about it so if it is a repeat, please forgive me and carry on.

I have been told that you can put the can in the slow cooker and let it boil/simmer for hours with lots of water and it makes the BEST caramel ever, but haven't tried it myself. Apparently lots of people just eat it with a spoon - or if they are feeling extra fancy pour it in some type of pie crust. Is this what you mean, or do you just eat it raw so to speak? Inquiring minds want to know.

Back on topic, for me it is as one poster said those no nutrition horrible for your teeth Red Vines if I want sweet (my dogs are also addicted so I do limit us to 1 tub every other month, or maybe creamsicles, or for salty/cruncy an unhealthy amount of sea salted cashews. Or pistachios. Like probably 20 or 30 normal people sized servings and I am a tiny (under 100#) little thing.

Hostess Cupcakes - Eat the cake first, the filling second, the chocolate covering (frosting) third and leave the squiggle for last.


Hostess Susy Q's - Absolutely Awesome - If I would have known back in the day that 1 had "only" 250 calories, I would have eaten a lot more. (However if I opened a pack I would have had to eat both probably). Susy Q's are discontinued or at least I haven't seen them in our area.


Double Stuff Oreos - Unscrew the lids and stick each lid with the filling together to get Quadruple Stuff Oreos. Eat the leftover lids first as a warm up and save the Quadruple Oreo ....for last.
