Sweet chilli hand cooked kettle crisps...I can eat a huge bag in one go

sweetheartyparty · 10/10/2021 21:21

Biscoff spread. I eat by the spoon and its so delicious

pickingdaisies · 10/10/2021 21:22

Tony's chocolonely. Galaxy. Reese's peanut butter cups. I'm perfectly happy if I don't buy them, but if I do, it's in the full knowledge that it won't last the hour once it's home. I've banned myself from buying kettle chips crisps.

Manomasa crisps. Salsa with tortilla chips. Either of those will never make it back to storage if they're opened anywhere near me.
Those manomasa ones are SO good. Sour cream with them is my downfall

Crisps/hula hoops/chipsticks esp BBQ beef flavour.
Jaffa cakes/pink wafers
Pic n mix sweets
M&S Iced buns
Percy pigs

@mumwon

Wasabi nuts - that's like horseradish flavour? I love horseradish the stronger the better - so combined with nuts? That's a week of indigestion & tummy ache - but I have no self control ... Ah me - I am weak!
Yeah they're basically peanuts in a crunchy wasabi coating that make your nose hurt when you eat too many

Aldi's half-coated chocolate chunk cookies. I end up feeling soooo sick but I just can't stop eating them🙊

Beachhuts90 · 10/10/2021 21:24

Another one who can't buy Jaffa cakes. I don't even realise I'm eating them. They're just gone like an hour after I get them.

Cookerhood · 10/10/2021 21:25

Honey roast cashews from M&S
Reese's peanut butter cups
Skippy peanut butter - I absolutely cannot stop myself eating it out of the giant Costco jar. Fortunately I discovered it has palm oil in it do it stops me from buying it.

BarryTheKestrel · 10/10/2021 21:25

Shortbread.
Pringles.
Haribo tangfastics.
Any kind of fresh baked crusty bread.
Savoury pastry of almost any kind - I can't smell a pasty and not want to devour it.

BarryTheKestrel · 10/10/2021 21:26

Oh and dry roasted peanuts. A once a year treat at Christmas.

Mrsjayy · 10/10/2021 21:26

Ritz crackers the filled ones I can demolish the packet

MintyGreenDream · 10/10/2021 21:28

MintyGreenDream · 10/10/2021 21:28

HaveANiceFuckingDay · 10/10/2021 21:29

Maynard's sports mix and wine gums
Wotsits , not the giant ones bizarrely they are a different texture to the smaller ones
The bigger ones are more like polystyrene filling
Chips and gravy with lots of vinegar
ALL seafood except jellied eels . I will sit there with an array of whelks , cockles , mussels , prawns in shells, baby octopus vinegar and white pepper , sorted . I'm actually doing a seafood and eat it buffet this weekend

MoanyMo · 10/10/2021 21:29

All of the snacks - I'm not fussy Confused

drpaddington · 10/10/2021 21:29

Biscuit viennetta. Yes I have eaten a whole one in one go.

Lidl paprika crisps. Huge bag.

Ieatmarmite · 10/10/2021 21:30

Wine gums. It was torture when I was nil by mouth for a few days after surgery & my sister left me a bag of the red and black ones on my locker.

Silkieschickens · 10/10/2021 21:31

Pickled onions or pickled cabbage, have the whole jar

Not a treat but cough medicine - benylin chesty cough or honey and lemon ones. Have the whole bottle at once.

MajorNeville · 10/10/2021 21:31

Peanuts
Hummus and krackawheat... totally like crack to me
Boursin and water biscuits

NichyNoo · 10/10/2021 21:31

Angel Delight. Says on the packet that it feeds four but I put it one bowl and eat the lot. I remember growing up in the 1980s and we used to share one packet between a family of four. How things change.

StrongerOrWeaker · 10/10/2021 21:31

Cheese
Crisps
Chorizo
I don't have a sweet tooth!

Porridgeislife · 10/10/2021 21:32

Malteasers
Thomas Fudge’s salted caramel Florentines (actually crack cocaine in sugary form)

Beekindbeehumble · 10/10/2021 21:32

Doritos
Doughnuts
Pringles

Graphista · 10/10/2021 21:32

Soooo many! I'm currently working on losing weight and wow it can feel hard at times!

Mainly crisps (by which I mean pretty much anything in the crisp aisle) but especially bbq Pringles and cheesy Doritos

Cheese - any cheese honestly love cheese. At the moment I'm "managing" on cottage cheese, lower fat grated cheddar and mature "plastic" cheese slices. I need to figure out how I can have posher cheeses in without scoffing half a pack in one go!

Borders biscuits - not a huge biscuit person but their ginger ones coated in dark chocolate - yum! But again whole pack would be gone in one go!

Now all the lovely Christmas treats are coming into stock I'm really gonna struggle I LOVE Christmas food mainly as I love dried fruit bakes and sweet spiced bakes. I've already got stollen bites in which I'm telling myself I'll only have one with a cuppa per day max...we'll see if I do it!

Tunnocks teacakes too like a few others on thread

@bettertimesarecomingnow I used to love after eights until they changed to crappy cheap palm oil chocolate! Now they're ruined!

Because I am a very classy glutton 

@NetballHoop if you're interested I have a fingernail saving tip for pistachios...

Btw they're the lowest cal nut (prob cos they're still in the shells) I can have them in the house and just have 20-25g at a time but it is hard!
