Nutty bars. I love those things. But, generally I don't have any ability to control myself around junk food. That's why I can't keep it in my house.

Anything salty and crunchy. Potato chips (regular, not flavored), tortilla chips with salsa, pita chips....I finish the bag every time.

I love those dried mangos that are sprinkled with sugar. Those are awesome. If you like spicy, try the Trader Joe's chili mangos. They're dried, but not quite as dehydrated as most of the dried ones, so they're still really chewy... and then they're sprinkled with both sugar and chili powder. Ohhhh, they're soooo good!!!

Anyone try Brookside crackberries Chocolate Pomegranate? I was introduced to them at a girl's weekend several years ago. Costco carries them. I finally had to stop buying them, I had utterly no self control over eating them and can kill a Costco sized bag in entirely too short a time. I also introduced them to several others too.....

Those animal crackers from vending machines, Gardetto's snack mix, Charleston Chews... I would eat all of those right now if I even knew where to get them without bidding on Ebay or visiting multiple stores. Charleston Chews!!!! Damn Target has giant ones for $1.

GS cookies (#1 the chocolate covered peanut butter filled Tagalongs, with Samoas as a close second). My kids have found empty boxes of GS cookies under my bed, I felt like they uncovered a porn stash or something I won't do the 2 a day crap- all the calories are going to end up in my body anyway, I might as well get right to it!

Fun sized Snickers bars. I have since lost the link to the article, but it said Snickers bars were at the bottom of the food pyramid along with legumes and whole grains.

Ben and Jerry's Phish Food. And yes, a pint is a single serving.

I was relying on the local corner store for my Charleston Chew fix, but I think I bought out their stock because they haven't had them recently. Target does sometimes have the movie theater sizes, and you can freeze them. I have a gift card too, so I guess I have some shopping to do...

Crackberries are so good. I only take a small bag to work at a time. I'm pretty good about leaving them alone at home.

Another one where everyone knows one bag is one serving
Oh and did TD get into the vinegar and seasalt chips yet? If not, I'll be right over

He wouldn't let me buy them, but proceeded to help me eat MY bag of Cheetos.
BTW....Costco sells bags of crackberries that are quite a bit bigger. Cheaper buying in bulk, donchaknow?

Same principle: one bag = one serving. You just have to work a little harder to "put it away"

The pic that I posted up thread. They are dark chocolate covered pomegranate candy. Once you start eating them, you don't stop.
They go great with a nice Cabernet.

They have a drive thru!

Any of those dried fruits covered in dark chocolate. I won't buy them anymore but am at complete PIG at MIL's.
The only thing that keeps me from eating them all is that I become socially unacceptable.

Something has to be good at your MILs right? Hot Krispy Kremes are like crack. They just disappear in no time.

For me it is mostly salty snack food: potato chips, corn chips, nacho chips, cheetos, popcorn ..........I kill a large bag (10-12 oz) in 2-3 days but cannot bring myself to buy smaller bags for 0.99-1.29 when Aldi sells the bigger ones for about 1.29.
I also have a weakness for dark chocolate but seldom buy. Kids usually give me some for Christmas & Mother'd Day/my bdday (June). When they are individually wrapped pieces I can control myself but not with a whole big bar.

It leaves you with some nice heat in your mouth but doesn't effect/ruin the taste of the chocolate. They've done a nice job with that one. I live right next to a Lindt outlet, the employees all know me .

I live right next to a Lindt outlet, the employees all know me . I do like the chili bar... i've pretty much tried them all but the sea salt is my go to! I buy them in bulk on amazon. I get 12 bars a month! lord help me if i lived next to the outlet! in my defense though... I never had a crazy chocolate addiction until I had to give up dairy and eggs as well as minimize flour and sugar in my diet. Though, back then, I could polish off a nice wedge of manchego and a bottle of cab with no problem.
