Mini Cheddars

Dry-roasted peanuts

Pringles

Because they are outrageously tasty, moreish and not that healthy (except for being good for the soul).

One of my other food weaknesses is beyond a ban because, sadly, the company no longer exists. I'm talking about Callard and Bowser and their range of rich, gooey, chewy toffees. They were all good, apart from the nut varieties, but especially the treacle and chocolate toffee rollsWink. Every dentist's nightmare. Nothing else comes close.

MyBread have you seen the ones you can get abroad with flavoured fake cheese in? My god..
These pretzel bite things, jalapeño ones. So hot. So irresistable.

I picked those marshmallows up in Sainsburys earlier and I put them back. Argh, I'm going to have to get them. I didn't know you could microwave them.

Bigfam · 13/08/2016 20:38

Those gu deserts that cost about a fiver for two in posh little glass jars. Specifically the zillionaires chocolate cheesecake, the biscuit base is even CHOCOLATE biscuits.
I inhaled one this morning for breakfast, whilst crouched in the very corner of the kitchen, growling like golem at my kids if they even looked at ' my precious' zillionaires cheesecake. Grin

Also tofifee

Slatterys chocolate covered salted pretzels. My dad claimed they were "not normal" and then ate my whole tub. We had to go back and buy more Blush

hollinhurst84 · 13/08/2016 21:04

These are the ones. I notice they now do chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels too. You're welcome

Lidl do the most incredible toffee yum yums in their fresh bakery section. With toffee icing on top but also toffee sauce in the middle Shock

You're welcome.

DailyFaily · 13/08/2016 21:05

Crackling (once I ate the entire lot of crackling off a joint while I was finishing off veg etc, then lied and told the family the crackling didn't really crisp up so I binned it). Mind, the crackling sticks you get from the party food section at M&S - no, bad, wrong.

Also frazzles, chippy chips, and freshly baked bread smothered in butter

witchywoohoo · 13/08/2016 21:08

Quiero I bought those for a family movie night once about two years ago and haven't stopped eating them since. I'm pretty sure the vinegaryness is slowly but surely eroding the inside of my mouth but i can't stop!!!

loosechange · 13/08/2016 21:15

Poor Dbaby. First I snorted laughing at Liinoo 's initial post, and accidentally latched him off whilst attempting to quietly night feed him. Then I dropped the phone on his head. Blush

Yyy to Toffiffees. Yum. The DC don't know they exist. DH and I haven't allowed them that far down the food chain.

Bigfam · 13/08/2016 21:26

loosechange tofifees are well known to our dc unfortunately, I share them fairly though, there's 4 of them & they get 2 each, I get the rest and box 2 & 3

sandy chocolate tiffin needs to be banned.

I had a horrible chocolate tiffin recently. You wouldn't think it possible. Looked very promising, but no. Apparently it was vegan. Was tempted to go back with some recipes to show them vegan food doesn't have to be horrible... (like the tofu-and-something (birdseed?!) cake that I scoffed at that was amazing. Cheesecake-ish. Mmm.)

For the banned list: Scottish butter fudgey stuff.

Any kind of fudge. Especially chocolate coated.

Pringles should be allowed in emergency situations.

emotionsecho · 13/08/2016 21:41

tanfield Callard and Bowser that's a blast from the past, I remember their liquorice stick things and butterscotch wrapped in foil in very special looking packets, and yes, the toffee was teeth hammering fabulous also agree with you about the nut varieties!

AudreyBradshaw · 13/08/2016 21:48

Cheese footballs, I allow myself 12 2 containers at Christmas and that's my lot for the year. Because otherwise I'd just have to give up on my knees being able to sustain my weight.

lobba · 13/08/2016 21:53

Haribo especially the jelly babies

shoethrowermum · 13/08/2016 21:55

Aldi coconut crunch white chocolate. They had it as a trial in it w local store, it was so nice I bought 7 bars of it! Went there next time and they hadn't got any as they had only had it in to see if people liked it.
The temptation to bang the desk and scream that I bought 7 bars all at once shows that yes I bloody love it was hard to overcome. They have it regularly now, thank heavens but they keep moving it and each time I panic in case it's gone off sale.
It's the food of the devil, don't buy it, save yourselves. I will take one for the team and eat it for you.
You're welcome. X

drspouse · 13/08/2016 21:59

Now I want all of these but I'm a house guest and can't go raiding the cupboards!

tanfield90 · 13/08/2016 22:42

Pork pies and sausage rolls from the butcher should also make the banned list. But not for at least another 100 years.

Biscoff spread.
Can I get you some biscuit with your bread?
So wrong but so good....
Microwaved then dollop on ice cream, or sneaky finger scoops from the cupboard every time you get something out...
Literally have to avert my eyes in the jam aisle!

FairyDogMother11 · 13/08/2016 23:29

I'm another for bourbons! To be honest actually, biscuits generally, only when accompanied by tea though. I can eat just a couple if without a cuppa, but if I start dunking they're all gone in a few minutes

peskyfeelings · 13/08/2016 23:41

Hummus

The massive Oreo chocolate bars that Cadbury have brought out. Basically just a massive rectangular Oreo in a chocolate slab!

Chilli Heatwave Doritos with salsa dip.

Jack Daniel's fudge.

Get behind me Satan...

AnnieOnnieMouse · 13/08/2016 23:46

Sweet chilli anything!
