I vote for Twizzlers (Cherry bite size) licorice. Very close second is a tie between Peanut M+M`s and Snyder`s Jelapeno pretzel pieces. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by whuckfistle \* > \*\*I vote for Twizzlers (Cherry bite size) licorice. \*\* This might seem like a nitpick to you, but I take this stuff seriously… Cherry Twizzlers is **NOT** licorice! Licorice is **black**. Always! It is never red, brown, green (even on St. Patty’s Day) or any other color but **black**. I guess you can tell what _my_ favorite is. 😉 Second place would be **almonds**. ---

Today pistachios are the perfect snack food. Tomorrow it will be something else. Peanut M&Ms is a strong possiblity. ---

Combos. Cheddar Cheese and Cracker Combos. They’re the perfect snack–and they’re not allowed in my house anymore for that reason. Otherwise, pickles, or the really poofy Cheetos. ---

Super Pretzels, the frozen soft pretzel. Unfortunately for me, my area grocery stores don’t carry them anymore. I emailed the company, but the closest chain that carries them is about 40 miles away. ☹ ---
