Default Favorite TV Watching Snack

Yes I know snacking is bad, but I still love popcorn during my sunday night must see TV. Just wondering what sorts of snacks you folks like, whether football or soaps. Whats your favorite TV treats?

A can of frosting.

LOL! No, really, I like to munch on rice crackers. Sure they have the Gabriela brand in dollar stores, but they are quite bland. I like the ones from here, full of flavor: Rice Crackers - Snacks & Mixes - By the Pound - NutsOnline If I see them in the grocery store, Umeya is my best bet, followed by Hapi. I'm picky, I go for the mixes without peanuts.

If I want something fried, I cook my own puffed wheat chip snacks. They're wheat pasta chips made with a little baking soda mixture, which puff up like pork rinds when cooked in hot oil. They're pretty good, cooks in seconds, and they only pick up 20% oil in weight while frying. You see them on Mexican vendor carts as bags of wagon wheels, usually served with a lime and hot sauce. Mexican supermarkets carry the chips, but I order mine direct from _____PALMEX_____ I like the little rings, they hold cheddar cheese powder well, which makes 'em pretty tasty. For a walk on the wild side, I add a bit of tabasco powder to the coating mix, or use some vindaloo curry powder instead.

If I want some thing healthy, I eat grape tomatoes. They're real sweet, which cures the candy craving. If they can survive being put in my dehydrator, I munch on them dried. They usually don't survive, as I snack on them mid-way.

Speaking of a can of frosting. I've got a friend who used to eat a couple bites out of the can (to make room). Then pour in some M&Ms. Pop in the microwave for a few seconds to soften up the M&Ms. Then eat the whole can.

I'm a chocolate junkie. But that's even too much for me

My favorite snack? Chocolate.

Now that's a rich sweet!

We like to make nachos and spice it up with a few jalepeno peppers.

Cheese. Yes really, I like a glass of red vine and a cheese like Gouda.
Sometimes in combination with a few grapes or a few nuts.

Speaking of red vine, I like to snack on licorice while I'm watching movies.
Here are some interesting facts on licorice. I wonder if they're related to processed licorice like red vine or twizzlers?

First came the black licorice. When folks found out that it's bitter and turns stools green, people avoided them. They wanted something with the same texture, so red licorice was created. Same recipe, different colors/flavors.

Well, I sometimes make it in the stove, but I use one of these:



I'd use it more often, if the bowl were more temperature-tolerant. If it had a metal rim glued on with thermal silicone, it would last longer. (Since it is all plastic, the rim edge would tend to puff up as it is used for some time.)

I cannot for the life of me find one of those popcorn poppers. the only ones here are that healthy air popped (as in, no oil, and no butter) poppers.

But also that kind of appliance is too much for my mobile home's power, that's why i use the gas stove in it. takes only 3 minutes to pop it all and no drag on my wiring.
