Chocolate hobnobs, or the oaties Aldi version.

I love them but have been known to eat a whole packet with a cup of tea.

leavesthataregreen · 10/10/2021 22:55

Any family sized packs of jelly babies, wine gums, fruit gums. I just power chomp through them in minutes. 800 calories a bag - gone in minutes.

Interested in this thread?

The mini Colin Caterpillar cakes which come in packs of 6 at t M&S. I always buy them saying I'll make them last a few days but they are always gone within a couple of hours.

TuftyMarmoset · 10/10/2021 23:09

Just remembered another one - weirdly, the seeded wraps from Lidl. I bought them twice and was just eating them from the packet one after the other. They are banned from the house now!

TuftyMarmoset · 10/10/2021 23:12

@NetballHoop use another bit of pistachio shell as a wedge to open them!

Wacadu · 10/10/2021 23:12

Cheddars
Oxo cubes

Genuinely anything. I have no off switch, no full tank alert. I just eat and eat and eat. So nothing is safe.

Nutella - I can't boil the kettle without spooning it in to my mouth if it's in the house

Any chocolate doesn't stand much chance

Graphista · 10/10/2021 23:28

@Boomerang99 oh I hear ya! I had 4 to lose, 1 down 3 to go!

@TuftyMarmoset that's the one!

Keladrythesaviour · 10/10/2021 23:33

Those lemon and sultana pancakes. They're not even that nice Confused but I don't even get them home from the supermarket. I think they've got crack cocaine in them. I eat them cold, straight from the packet.
So now I just don't buy them because I obviously can't be trusted around them.

@Beamur

Squashies Ice cream Salt and vinegar crisps
Squashies for me too! But only the raspberry and vanilla ones - all the other flavours are weird and horrible imo.
helloyoutoo8 · 11/10/2021 04:02

Chocolate orange
Dairy milk
Hob nobs
Choc raisins.

Basically any chocolate.

36degrees · 11/10/2021 04:06

Tiger bread
That Lidl low GI seed bread
M&S cheese bread
Cheese scones

Throw in a block of salty French butter and there's no stopping me.

Redsquirrel5 · 11/10/2021 04:30

Tunnocks tea cakes.

Straighttalking1 · 11/10/2021 04:58

M&S all butter biscuits, yellow pack.....biscuits heaven.

Goatinthegarden · 11/10/2021 05:11

I keep the kitchen cupboards really well stocked with treats (no children in the house) and for some reason, if I have lots of treats available, I’m less inclined to eat too many.

Home baking is my weakness though. Once I’ve baked something, I can’t leave it alone. Hot buttered sourdough bread or cinnamon buns are two current favourites.

Stollen Bites from Aldi!

Jaffa cakes or chocolate peanuts

Peanut butter, pink wafer biscuits

longwayoff · 11/10/2021 09:29

Oh the shame. Mr Kipling Fiendish Fancies, thankfully only around for Halloween. Orange flavoured fondant fancies. Ordinary fondant fancies? No thanks. But these devilish orange ones satisfy a previously unmet, and unknown, need. One pack down already.

AlfonsoTheDinosaur · 11/10/2021 09:34

Anything tasty. I have no self-control.
