    None. If I crave for something crunchy I eat carrots or nuts. If I want to eat sweets I make my own brownies, marzipan or chocolate chip cookies. And if I really want to each chips/crisps I make my own batch.

      When you say you make your own marzipan, do you start from almonds? That seems like so much work- is it significantly cheaper or better than store bought marzipan or do you just prefer to be self sufficient?

    The only one we keep stocked is milk. We make all kinds of desserts at home, like ice creams, cakes, pies, and pastries, but they never stay around for long.

    None. If it’s here, I’m eating it. I sometimes bring some home on grocery day but it’s always gone that day.

    Usually, pototo chips, chocolate covered pretzels, gummies, chocolate cover gummies.

    Unsalted cashew nuts and french fries. The nuts I eat as is and usually run out by the end of the week. French fries I toss into the air fryier when ever I don’t feel like cooking.

          I had no idea. that sounds delicious.

          the flower petals are so thin, how thick is the candy coating?

            Typically i see them served in syrup and not coated in candy, and somehow they are so much thicker a petal than you imagine. I assume theyre using a specific type of hibiscus and not just the kind everyone grows for yard decor. More of a yucca flower texture honestly.

            They may have actual candied ones to i didn’t even bother looking it up yet, of course.

            These are what i normally see https://www.wildhibiscus.com/collections/retail/products/wild-hibiscus-flowers-in-syrup

              that is fascinating, thank you for sharing it.

              I actually grew up with hibiscus around my house my whole childhood but never knew you could eat them.

              which is nuts, because I feel like I try to eat everything else in my yard as a kid.

              those look pretty good.

    Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it’s the best ever but it’s 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there’s also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it’s not instant gratification y’know?

    Once you bake a pan though it’s pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you’re not too concerned with your waistline.

    Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.

      Plus you can get a Costco sized box!

      Realistically this is also a healthy choice because it requires effort, so time to reconsider

    Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews… Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there’s the spiced and coated varieties

      Same here. That’s why I try to stock up on more than I think I’ll need when things go on sale.

        The two types of mentalities on display:

        1. I’ll eat too much so I shouldn’t buy any
        2. I’ll eat too much so I should buy more

          Or the worst one of all - more packaging. I buy some things in smaller packages to help moderate. Ritz crackers? Hell yeah, but what size sleeve will I finish? Soda, hey at least it’s diet, once it’s open I’ll finish it, so it better be in a can

    Microwave popcorn. It’s convenient enough that I can make it easily any time, but just inconvenient enough that it doesn’t all get horked down on the first day.

      I find that stove top popcorn is even less convenient (so less tempting to eat all the time), but much cheaper, and maybe tastier in some ways.

      Get a ~500 g (1 lb or so?) bag of whole kernels for $3-ish, some oil that you use for cooking other stuff anyway, and salt. Heat the oil on the stove with a few kernels, then when those pop, briefly remove from heat and add more. Make sure the pot has a lid. Keep shaking it side to side to keep the popcorn from burning.

      I find it adds just enough oil to taste good, but not so much that I’m eating something super awful for me. (And it’s much tastier than air popped). And I assume you could still add melted butter if you want an extra treat.

      I want to get one of those movie theatre style things where the popcorn can fly out of the pot.
