Mini Cheddars

Dry-roasted peanuts

Pringles

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

KP salt and vinegar nuts. Very moreish but they make my eyes water and I can't taste anything for days after eating a dish.

XSL2001 · 14/08/2016 19:46

Skippy peanut butter and Poppadums but not together

TheWeeBabySeamus1 · 14/08/2016 19:52

Boost bites, I buy them thinking they'll last a few days but they don't even last an hour with me. The same with salted Doritos and hot salsa...

Bloody starving now I've read this thread.

SapphireSeptember · 14/08/2016 20:00

Marshmallow fluff, I eat it with a spoon, and have been known to eat a whole jar in one sitting. Blush

Malteasers, Galaxy counters and Minstrels. The only chocolates I break my 'no palm oil' rule for. (I know, it's picky, and I love chocolate, but am happy with supermarket own brand chocolate that is free of the stuff.)

On that note, when I really want a treat, (and we have a factory shop here, which doesn't help!) Hotel chocolat supermilk! I can eat a bar in less than five minutes, it's amazing!

Bigfam · 14/08/2016 20:06

SapphireSeptember I posted about how excited I was to see marshmallow fluff in tesco's & that I bought two jars the other week. ❤ that stuff!

staghunter · 14/08/2016 20:13

Asda jaffa cake chocolate spread. Palm oil and sweetners and artificial flavours combined to create the food of gods. Eaten with a spoon from the jar. Superior to nutella.

KittensWithWeapons · 14/08/2016 20:33

Oh yes, Mini Cheddars. Adore them. Can't stop eating them. Also Cheese & Onion Squares, peanut butter Lindor, M&S salt and pepper crisps, ooh, and their heat to eat chilli cheese dip. Feck I'm starving now!

KittensWithWeapons · 14/08/2016 20:39

Totally with you re the pringles Liiinoo. I eat a few, think 'oh they're not great', then somehow a few minutes later the can is in my hand and I'm pulling out another handful to shovel down. But I don't even like them! It's baffling.

scarednoob · 14/08/2016 21:01

Hotel chocolate lemon cheesecake flavour white chocolate. And then they did stop making it and why don't we have a sobbing emoticon??

Lindt lemon ganache chocolate.

Salt and vinegar kettle chips.

Really strong blue or cheddar on those crumbly fudges crackers.

These dirty little bitches: m.tesco.com/h5/groceries/r/www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=278995444&gclid=CPe_lZfZwc4CFRS6Gwoda2gNSw&gclsrc=aw.ds

Also bacon and coffee. Two genuinely disgusting things.

drspouse · 14/08/2016 21:02

Reeses peanut butter cups.

SapphireSeptember · 14/08/2016 21:17

Bigfam Oh, it's amazing! So sugary, but to hell with it! I drink lots of milk, my teeth will be fine. Grin

Bigfam · 14/08/2016 21:25

SapphireSeptember it's not that bad, I mean, it says it's made from peanut butter.... 😉 (im clutching at straws)
😮 speaking of straws, i wonder if we could just forego spoons and just suck it from the jar!

MessyBun247 · 14/08/2016 21:28

Tayto roast beef and peppercorn sauce crisps.

Cracked black pepper Boursin.

Fizzy Haribo.

SapphireSeptember · 15/08/2016 22:33

Bigfam Hahaha! That would be amazing. Think it's a bit too thick though. I have been known to scrape round the jar with my finger though! Blush

(There's no peanut butter in it, thank goodness. I hate peanut butter! Envy )

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 15/08/2016 22:36

Mushy peas. They taste like id imagine ash to taste. Yuk.
Cauliflower

tanfield90 · 15/08/2016 23:05

The thing with mushy peas is their fundamentally disgusting nature. They are neither moreish, addictive nor bad for ones health. The Devil invented mushy peas and he shouldn't have.

Generally speaking, if it tastes good, it's bad for you. This is why Pringles and Mini Cheddars et all make the list.

I only allow myself to do this on pancake day........ A huge spoonful of golden syrup..........

Captainkanga · 15/08/2016 23:15

Chocolate finger fans;

White chocolate finger
Milk chocolate finger
Dark chocolate finger

In. One. Bite. Oh my days.

Whathaveilost · 16/08/2016 14:04

All the. Butter nut spreads aren't doing my weight any favours.
I adore cashew nut but almond nut spread is catching up as a new favourite!.
Ban them!

drspouse · 16/08/2016 21:02

Sainsbury Quadruple Belgian Chocolate Cookies.
Fortunately DH knows how many were in the packet.

wowfudge · 16/08/2016 21:15

Peanut butter Lindor? Oh my good God. I hope I never see those anywhere or I am done for.

WorryMcStressHead · 16/08/2016 22:06

Have any of you ever microwaves a chocolate bar? Double Decker is the best, mic for a few seconds at a time until it's collapsed a bit, then add ice cream.

You're welcome.

Captainkanga · 16/08/2016 22:54

Peanut butter Lindor?!

WHERE CAN I GET THIS?

Willow2016 · 16/08/2016 23:09

Hotel Chocolate anything! (am sitting here with my 3 monthly box trying not to eat any more, have had 3 so far and usually make them a weekish...)

Maltesers - there is no such thing as a sharing bag!

Nutella - only get it about once a year as its gone in days here...spoons at the ready.

Smores! Bloody americans, only they could invent something so horrendously sweet and sickly yet ...delish. We have only been back from holiday a month and have made them already!

Lindor

Pringles def the devils temptation..... impossible to make them last more than 2 days (if we are lucky!!!)

Any kind of crisp....a sandwich isnt a sandwich without crisps Sad

Beef with peppers and black bean sauce....those little beans are flipping hot and every time I get it I ask "WHY?" but I LOVE the taste of the sauce.

Willow2016 · 16/08/2016 23:09

make them last a weekish I mean!
