What's your current snack obsession?

For me, it's taking a stick of pepper jack cheese--you know, the kind they have in the single serving plastic wrap--and putting it in the microwave for 40 seconds. It comes out as a nice, hot, semi-liquid/semi-solid goo that is very tasty to me. Probably not the healthiest thing, but I'm damn near addicted to it.

Dangit all... Sometimes, I either have to make it, but generally I make a pilgrimage to Silver Spring on some Fridays when the guy selling them is around.

and a toppings bar. I'm sure the half-pound of peanuts, granola, and Fruity Pebbles I dump on the sorbet only makes it more nutritious, right?

Nuked cheese is Awesome, too. I usually use mozarella. I like to let it get to the browning point.

I eat a lot of Greek salads, put it on scrambled eggs, etc., and I've resorted to just popping the little crumbles into my mouth straight from the container. To quote Jimmy Fallon, "So good, my man!"

I'm not a big pretzel person either, but these...they really are addictive. My favorite are 'everything', second is 'garlic parmesan'.

I like dipping them (everything) in cream cheese.

And they are especially yummy with this cheese spread (that I'm out of or I would tell you the name of) that is similar to cream cheese, but they have a garlic one and a sun dried tomato one...DIVINE to dip those pretzel crunchy deliciousness in. Kroger sells that cheese spread in the same area as their fancy cheeses...

the spread you're describing sound delish..especially the sun dried mater.

One of the grocery stores around here bakes fresh sun dried tomato bread...holy mama it's to die for. I can't buy it or I'll eat the whole loaf..lol.

I often bring the 'leftover' queso home, finish it off with tortilla chips. A good snack.

So easy to over-indulge! Especially as a vegetarian and you tell yourself it's protein.

Which makes me think: you can be the most unhealthy veggie in the world if you live solely on snack food! Processed shit is horrible for us--we're better off eating organic meat! But I know a veg who justifies her smoking and her junk food habit by saying no animal dies for them!
