    Microwave popcorn. It’s convenient enough that I can make it easily any time, but just inconvenient enough that it doesn’t all get horked down on the first day.

    None. If it’s here, I’m eating it. I sometimes bring some home on grocery day but it’s always gone that day.

    Usually, pototo chips, chocolate covered pretzels, gummies, chocolate cover gummies.

    Frozen mango pieces. I love eating those whenever I’m in the mood for something to snack.

    Not sure if it counts as junk food, but it’s something I always try to keep at home. Though lately they’ve been sold out at the supermarket. So I’m forced to fall back on my 2nd choice, frozen raspberries.

      frozen raspberries

      Haha those should be first choice. Basically the polar opposite in terms of flavor profile

        Oh I love raspberries as well, it’s just that mangoes are more chewy when frozen.
        Raspberries tend to be very hard and not as nice to bite down on when they’re straight from the freezer. But the flavor is great, no argument here :)

    None. If I crave for something crunchy I eat carrots or nuts. If I want to eat sweets I make my own brownies, marzipan or chocolate chip cookies. And if I really want to each chips/crisps I make my own batch.

      When you say you make your own marzipan, do you start from almonds? That seems like so much work- is it significantly cheaper or better than store bought marzipan or do you just prefer to be self sufficient?

          Does it taste better? Almond flour is over three times the price of marzipan here, so it looks like it would be more expensive to make it myself, but I love marzipan and am down to pay more and put some work in for better marzipan.

          I could also just see the prices being different elsewhere, though, given that I’m in Germany and marzipan is a much more common ingredient than almond flour here.

            It’s difficult to tell if it tastes better. Some store bought were better other worse. But the best thing about making it is that you can make the way you like it.

    Crisps or air fryer party mix containing stuff like frikadellen, chicken nuggets or bitter balls. If you don’t know number 1 and 3 then I feel sorry for the sad life you have lived up until now and urge you to get off your ass and find a snack bar somewhere between Zierikzee and Delfzijl.

    Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it’s the best ever but it’s 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there’s also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it’s not instant gratification y’know?

    Once you bake a pan though it’s pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you’re not too concerned with your waistline.

    Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.

      Plus you can get a Costco sized box!

      Realistically this is also a healthy choice because it requires effort, so time to reconsider

    Unsalted cashew nuts and french fries. The nuts I eat as is and usually run out by the end of the week. French fries I toss into the air fryier when ever I don’t feel like cooking.

    The only one we keep stocked is milk. We make all kinds of desserts at home, like ice creams, cakes, pies, and pastries, but they never stay around for long.
