Does anyone remember the Planters Cheez Balls that came in a can?  Oh my god,... talk about crack!

I want all of them right now!

[genericname]

You know, the Green Giant sweet potato chips are my new crack. They aren't quite as bad as Cheetos, but they are definitely habit forming!!

[Chocolate Lover]

I am grocery shopping after work this evening, I really need to stop reading this thread.

I'm glad I did my grocery shopping last night before reading this thread.

Meh - give me Nacho chips & a good salsa any day over cheesy mystery puffs of air that turn your fingers orange.

I like this Canadian brand (Hawkins Cheezies) - they're Crunchy, Cheddary & Canadian - and none of that nasty fake cheese powder that sticks to your fingers.

You just answered something for me. My dh calls cheese curls, cheezies and i had no idea why. Now i get it.

When I hear "cheezie" I think of Cheesy Poofs and Cartman

Oh, the heck with all the puffs and chips and yellow fingers......just do it right....a lb of good aged cheddar, a 1/4 lb of pepper jack, a 1/4lb jalapenos flavored white cheddar, some Colby, some gouda...whatever. Get after the good stuff. Real Cheese!!!

Like anything there are versions of right, depending on how much
effort you want to put forth. When I was programming in the UNIX
building, Smartfood, was one of my fave snacks. So was Ben & Jerrys
Ice cream sandwiches made with brownies as the "cookies".


This eventually led to me discovering, that indeed dairy such as milk,
cream, cheese, sour cream & whey did make my sinuses worse and give
me long lasting painful sore throats. (Yep your minds are already there aren't
they....? )

I think I could have Earth Balance's vegan cheese popcorn safely, but its
a little pricey even as an experiment...

[tloonya]

Ok, I am not big fan (or fan in denial) of any of the snacks you are talking about.
After I read you I didn't care. However this morning I went to a supermarket for all the healthy foods and now on my table opened small Cheetos, Fritos and Doritos. 1oz each but it is almost gone!
...but I have 33 more left. It was a pack of 36.

So now instead of cookies we have crunchies? 

[NoNamePerson]

Cheeze It has a new product out or at least I haven't seen it on shelves here until recently. It looks kinda like an orange Triscuit. May have to give it a try. But first I will read the label and all that and then chow down.

[sarcasticgirl]

Thanks, swamp. I've been craving cheetos for two days now.

[Chocolate Lover]

I have a bag of the White Cheddar at home. And maybe a single serve bag or 2 of regular ones.

[sarcasticgirl]

I want cheese puffs or the cheddar jalapeño crunchy kind. 

[Chocolate Lover]

I can accommodate on puffs, as long as you like the white cheddar ones but no jalapeno ones today.  

[sarcasticgirl]

I like white cheddar. shove those through the screen... with a slice of your avatar. and don't be stingy!

yes, because as far as I can tell, Cheetos do not contain cheese. I think they contain crack, though.

Yeah, I think it is the same crack they put in kraft mac n cheese. Every few months i just have to have it. 

Velveeta!

I know what you mean.  I have a weakness for baked goods (cookies and cakes and the like.)  I never buy things like a bag of oreos or chips ahoy cookies because I know once I start, that whole bag will be gone within the hour.  I do sometimes wish you could buy that stuff in smaller servings.

My grocery store does sell small, individual slices of cake.  I do buy those once or twice a week.  It's nice because when it's gone, it's gone, and you aren't tempted anymore.

No one has mentioned the ultimate in crack - Jacked Doritos.  All I can say is OMG. Gosh now I will need to get some before we get snowed in. I just finished some light kettle corn popcorn but it just doesn't do that glass of red wine justice like the Jacked Doritos. My son is a convert.

But for the folks that like sweet and salty, we have a local bakery that makes chocolate dipped potato chips. When she used to run her business out of her house she called them PMS busters. Now it's a little more PC, and just chocolate dipped chips. I had a lady at work that is very very picky and turned her nose up when I talked about them. I bought each person at work a bag of them, to include her, and she is a total convert. DS made a believer out of his girlfriend over Christmas break. I had to mail him some to give to her for Valentine's day. Lucky girl

I'm heading to Sarcastic's place to raid her cheese drawer!

Also, Salsa Verde Doritos are back. Mmmmmm.

Nope, not enough


I used to LOVE the Salsa Rio Doritos and then they went away and I was the only person who remembered them. I got a bag when they made a comeback last year. Guess I got over it 

[cael]

NOW I WANT CHEETOS, THANKS GUYS. Jesus christ. I'll be picking some up on the way to my other job... ugh. 

Crunchy all the way, btw.

[Chocolate Lover]

You're welcome. Send me some will ya?

[Deleted]

Okay, I see y'all's cheezy this and that and raise you one awesome piece of chocolate from Vosges: "Mo's Dark Chocolate Bacon Bar parfum includes: Hickory smoked bacon + Alderwood smoked salt + 62% dark chocolate."

Oh yeah, all that, and more. And if you really want to go to the dark side, they make a pancake mix with chips of this chocolate bar.  And for the hotheads among us, they have chocolate with chilis.  And chocolate with curry.  

If you see a story about a senior citizen holding up a local upscale grocery and escaping with nothing but chocolate, well.......

I've never had bacon and chocolate, but bacon with maple syrup or butter, brown sugar and ginger is really good.
