(Not as much as Doritos, but a pretty close second).

Then you should NOT try Quaker's Mini Delights in Caramel Drizzle or Chocolate Mint. Nope. Don't even THINK about....they're MINE! All MIIIINE!!!!

Last year in the Netherlands, I experienced roti, which is from Suriname. I loved it. I describe it as a pork-based spicy Chinese with potatoes, served with a thick tortilla-type pancake. There weren't many things about Dutch cuisine I would recommend, but roti I would.

The only other Dutch thing I enjoyed, other than their amazing cheeses, was stroopwaffels. You can find them in international food stores here, too.

Oh, and poffertjes..the Dutch version of pancakes...yummy.

OMG... I never thought I would like rice cakes either. But I love getting the chocolate ones and putting peanut butter on them.

just an update on my crunchy fruit snacks...I got some crunchy corn---I threw it away...I guess I could save it and add it to soup or something...but as a grand new favorite food?---it's a big no-go...

I have been searching on line for my beloved yogachips organic apple chips...so far, they are hard to find...I rarely give up on anything I actually care about...I may lose interest in nonsense, but snacking is some serious business !! :)

I am going to see if I can make them myself...looks like I need to do some research...the thought of crunchy Honey Crisp Apples is a strong incentive...

New to EVERYONE.....chocolate and dark chocolate covered PEEPS!

Chocolate Covered Peeps

Someone try some and let me know what they think. I've grown out of my peep fascination, but I'm interested to hear what others think about this.
