Happy Wednesday, GrayViners! How are you doing?

Do you have any plans for the day? I’ll be heading to the grocery store later this afternoon to restock a few essentials—but let’s be honest, it’s mostly to refill my sweets stash. I need to have a little piece of chocolate after every meal... it’s my favorite treat and a small moment of joy!

What about you? Do you have a go-to snack that you always keep stocked in your pantry? Maybe something sweet, salty, or a little bit of both? I’d love to know what your favorites are—share them in the comments below! Let’s swap snack ideas!

Good Morning Everyone!

My go to snack is Captain Crunch w/Berries cereal. I eat it dry, like popcorn, only so much better.

 

[az2010]

unsalted nuts

 

[SueBirch66]

popcorn

 

[taytay]

Aabsolutely Twizzlers red licorice. I grew up in NY city and that's the only licorice I like, not red vines. I like to eat several sticks right after dinner.

 

[NIBOR0]

Glazed pecans is my current favorite snack.

 

[GaryBlake]

Restaurant style tortilla chips.

 

[Wellman]

Dark chocolate. Eat a small piece before breakfast every day

 

[Marilea]

Dark chocolate is a pantry staple for snacking, dessert, anti-depressant, etc!

It must certainly be CHOCOLATE! It’s the cure for everything! Chocolate works for me! If it’s not a chocolate bar, it’s chocolate chip cookies and white chocolate truffles! Mmm Sorry, I lost myself for a while as I was thinking of my sweet treat as soon as I finish the meal my husband is preparing!

 

[Marilea]

I agree

Thank you Marilea for your response. I’m glad you saw the worth of my comment. Chocolate is indeed my weakness! Lol

@maryloubaumann do you have any baking recipes you can share or recommend? I really want to get into baking but I think I just need some inspiration first!
