to ask what your favourite snack is

I am a prolific and unrepentant snacker. I just chopped up some peanut butter and prunes, and am eating them with thick greek yoghurt with syrup on top.

I had some cashews earlier, and sometimes if I fancy something savoury but don't have bread in I will get a paratha out the freezer, fry it, slather it in butter, cheese, and marmite, and then roll it up and eat it. I will definitely have another snack later, even though I am going out for dinner at a friend's...

So AIBU to ask what snacks you like eating ?

Apples.
My partner moaned this evening that there was a pack of 6 in the fridge this morning, now there are 2. I was reliably informed that eating 4 apples in a day is for horses and weird people only 😂😂

Thats exactly how I felt too!

My favourite snack is chocolate cornflake cluster bites. Think I actually have an addiction. They are definitely the reason I need to lose weight, can’t just eat a couple have to scoff the whole bloody box!

I empathise. Other than Twix, those M and S chocolate rolls in a tub. Impossible to eat just one, or two, or, indeed three...

I read the post title and thought, I can contribute to that, favourite snack, going to write a Twix. Now I have read the thread and I have no place here...

This thread inspired me to make my favourite snack...
Ritz crackers with pieces of chopped up smoked streaky bacon on the top (raw). Drizzle maple syrup on the top of them, couple of chilli flakes and bung them in the air fryer for about 8 mins.
You're welcome 😁

Jeez I'm glad I read to the end of your post - I was thinking YOU CAN'T EAT RAW BACON!
Sounds right up my street tbf!

lightsandtunnels · 23/08/2024 20:54

I love to make my own dip with Greek yoghurt and a squirt of mayo then add curry powder and a drizzle of honey.
Then I dip in a range of crisps like Doritos, Walkers sweet chilli.
My mouth is watering ... 😋

Notmollybutdolly · 23/08/2024 20:50

also any kind of toast with at least half an inch of lurpak. And I like to wait until the toast has cooled down so the butter doesn’t melt too much mmmmm

Obsessed with this houmous at the moment. Has to be the jalapeño one.

Agreed! It's the BEST! I get through tubs of the stuff with celery over a few days 😋😋😋

Notmollybutdolly · 23/08/2024 20:49

So much inspo but like PP I do enjoy a crab stick piped with a mayonnaise too!!!!!!!
anything diy canapé style.
piece of nice ham, with slice of Gouda or Edam cheese on top with a bit of chilli oil, wrapped around a Babybel is my newest invention x

Fontainebleau007 · 23/08/2024 20:48

Ryvita sesame crackers with seriously strong cheese spread 😋

🤣🤣
We class snacks as chocolate, crisps, sweets or biscuits!
Crackers, Ryvitas, anything bread related, dips, fruit or salad/ veg we have for a meal!

Me too!!

howlsmovingbouncycastle · 23/08/2024 20:20

Currently Proper Chips with this sprinkled over them.

Preferably with a cold beer.

marmite cashew nuts are my tip tier snack.

Wow these are all great ideas! Some I’ve never thought of!
I love crisps but know they’re so bad for me! Try to eat lentil ones but they give me stomach ache! So nuts usually are my go to snacks, those flavoured graze ones as I love savoury stuff!

louderthan · 23/08/2024 20:16

Basically crisps
Parma ham wrapped around mozzarella
Essentially any cheese/ham combo
Olives
Breadsticks or tortilla chips with guacamole or houmous

My eyesight is definitely going, I read that as "piranha"!

I love a bowl of olives and feta cheese with a generous glug of olive oil for dipping. When I waitressed I had a terrible habit of helping myself to the Greek salad (fished out the tomatoes bc I hate them), which is where it started.

eggandchip · 23/08/2024 19:21

Apples and bananas.

TranquilWater · 23/08/2024 19:14

Crab sticks with M&S Perinaise piped along the top - canapés eaten in the glow of an open fridge door. Labneh scooped up with Ryvita rosemary thins.

AlmostCutMyHairToday · 23/08/2024 19:09

Good bread, toasted, slathered in salted butter, and squished jammy dates. With or without cinnamon.

Thursa · 23/08/2024 19:05

Apple slices and cheddar slices
Ritz crackers with cream cheese and a slice of cherry tomato
Hummus and pita with a sprinkle of feta and chopped cucumber
Quesadilla with salsa and sour cream

SaintHonoria · 23/08/2024 18:57

A slice of cold marmite on toast that I take out with me when I'm out hiking.

notprincehamlet · 23/08/2024 18:53

Apples - they're my thinking big thoughts food
Oatcakes with peanut butter and marmite
Kallo beetroot veggie cake things - like virtuous monster munch

Cherrysoup · 23/08/2024 18:53

Olives, nuts, berries, grapes. Natural yogurt and fruit is good with a drizzle of honey, just brought some unprocessed honey back from holiday.

NothingAGoodCuppaDoesntFix · 23/08/2024 18:51

Chocolate
Slice of cake
Bag of crisps

Definitely nothing healthy:(
