Hersheys Chocolate Kisses. Thank god they’re putting them in smaller bags these days. ---

Skinny Pop popcorn. Oh, sure, the name has “Skinny” in it, and the plain kind has something like 35 calories a cup. Pfff! Who eats one cup? Why don’t they measure popcorn servings in quarts? Or gallons? Most lower-calorie stuff is dreadful. This stuff is not. It’s better than homemade. They ought to call it popcrack. ---

Flaming Hot Cheetos. I can polish off a bag of those in minutes. There was one occasion where I didn’t eat the entire bag in one sitting—the time I bought an enormous, extra-large bag from Sam’s Club. ---

I wish I had never discovered Werther’s brand caramel corn. It’s all crunchy and glazey and tastes like Werther’s hard caramels. Then I discovered you could mix roasted peanuts in with it, and now it’s doubly addicting. It tastes like Crackerjack of the gods, with an emphasis on the “crack”. ---

STAX are a copy of pringles potato chips but come in a plastic tube. They are so much better than Pringles and you can easily eat the whole stack. I don’t like the way they come in plastic containers, though. I feel bad about that. ---

For those of us in states with legal edibles, delicious can be a real problem. I absolutely love Gaia brand white chocolate huckleberry bars. I’m not sure how many “doses” each bar is supposed to be – it think there are 16 bite-sized pieces scored into the bar, but I could easily eat a whole bar in one sitting. An hour after eating 3 (or was it 4?) scrumptious little squares I start to notice my eyes seem to be moving independently of each other, like the turret eyes on a chameleon. Then I think “Maybe I should have stopped at 2 pieces…” ---

You know those Milky Way ice cream bars they used to sell? I could eat a box of those without breathing. Never did, but I know I could. ---

Peanuts and Pistachio. The rhythm of cracking the shell, tossing the nut into my mouth, and discarding the shell is relaxing. I’m steadily cracking one after another. It’s hard to keep up with how many and then stop. A small bag can be empty after a night of tv. The wastebasket of shells is a stark reminder of the nights excess. We rarely buy chips because they are too easy to gorge on. A bag vanishes too quickly. ---

Oh, shit. Easter candy is out. I am fixin’ to fall off the wagon! I like those chocolate covered marshmallow eggs and robin eggs. Funny I like the pretty colored Hershey kisses but I don’t like eating them. They are safe from me in the candy bowl. ---

Lays Simply Sea Salted Thick Cut Potato Chips The most amazing plain potato chip ever made! I’m not sure why they’re called “thick cut” because they’re not what I’d consider thick cut. Maybe a little thicker than regular Lays. When I open a new bag, I first gaze at the loveliness of them. They’re large, oval and nice and light in color. I have to be very careful - or an entire bag will be eaten in one sitting. Luckily my can of diet Coke will run dry first so then I have to be done eating the chips. ---

> [@NDP](#): > > Cadbury Mini Eggs. I try to buy only the small bags to limit their damage. I hate those things, because I have to eat so damned many of them. I’m so glad they only come out once a year. My kids love them too, we went through an entire bag in one evening. I couldn’t find them at Target the next day, and I’m very happy I couldn’t. I’ll go through an entire box of Nilla Wafers, I don’t buy them often either.
