Favorite Foods - Vol 3

When I get the munchies, salty snacks are my weakness.  Here's a list of my favorite chips:

PopCorners: Somewhat new to the market and not found everywhere yet, these unique chips are the best snackable by far.  These are popcorn in the shape of a chip that comes in six flavors: butter, kettle, white cheddar, cheesy jalapeno, and caramel.  Kettle is my favorite and my ultimate, healthier go-to snack.

Eat Your Vegetables -  The unique texture and vegetable serving make these addicting and healthy.  I like the sour cream flavor, but don't mind the sea salt as well. I've only found these in Wegman's, so stock up there.

Utz Kettle Classics - Dark Russets: These are a close, second favorite snackable.  Though not as healthy as any popped, baked or veggie chip, these kettle cooked dark russet chips are so crunchy and salty with the right amount of flavor.  It's easy for me to pig out with a bag of these.

Frito-Lay Munchies - Totally Ranch: These made a comeback after a few years of being non-distributed.  I snagged a bag recently and reminisced about downing a whole bag of these as I crammed for exams in college.  The honey bbq Fritos are my favorite in the mix.

Grand Tortilla Chips - I just discovered these and are now my favorite tortilla chips.  They are yellow corn with not too much salt and the perfect crunch.  Dip in guacamole!

Sweet Potato Kettle Chips - I seem to be brand loyal with the above choices, but I can interchange with sweet potato chips.  After having the dark russets in comparison, I realized these aren't my top choice anymore.  They are good with an excellent amount of Vitamin A, but I'd prefer crispy sweet potato fries with maple syrup!

Since I am thinking of sweet syrup now, on to the sugary snacks:

Bugles - Caramel and Chocolate Peanut Butter:  Either flavor can get you hooked.  I could eat a whole bag of caramel if there were no consequences.  Regular Bugles are salty and plain in flavor. 

Skinny Cow Dreamy Clusters:  At only 4 Weight Watchers points a bag, it is a satisfying snack.  Caramel and chocolate explodes into your mouth with each bite-sized piece.  You can get either milk or dark chocolate.

Luna Bar:  I've tried many of the diet bars, but they substitute flavor for the nutrients. You get the best of both worlds in a Luna Bar.  It doesn't taste 'healthy,' and it curbs your hunger.  Nuts Over Chocolate and Smores are my favorite flavors.

Oreos - I love these dipped in milk, or in a coffee mix (limited time at Dunkin Donuts).  Get Fried Oreos at any fair nowadays.  Move over funnel cakes! 

Ice Cream Flavors and Candy Bars - These are whole new categories of sugary snacks.  Stay tuned for Favorite Foods: Vol 4!
