Ritz Crackerfuls Review and $100 Gift Card Giveaway
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Ritz.
Congratulations to Lisa Smith who was the winner of the $100 gift card!
I started a challenging new job last year and then moved into a crazy loft a few months ago. Both of these major events have changed my usual routine immensely. Truth be told I’ve had some seriously frustrating days lately where I feel like I simply can’t keep up with everything: work, cleaning the house, picking up after two very furry cats, cooking, blogging, socializing, going to the gym — the list of personal to-do items is non-stop.
Unfortunately when I get overwhelmed I’m not lucky enough to be one of those women who stops eating or forgets to eat. I’m more apt to scarf down a handful of nuts, followed by some olives, then a slice or two (ok…ok…three) of cheddar cheese, and top it all off with a little sauvignon blanc. Before you know it I’ve ruined my dinner, added to my guilt of not being able to “do it all,” and probably completely put off any thoughts of making my way over to the gym. Then I inevitably try to convince myself for the remainder of the evening that because I consumed all of those things standing up it didn’t count.
A similar routine can also sometimes arise for me at the office. You know how it is. The clock hits 2:00 or 3:00 PM and your willpower and energy fly right out the window (if you’re lucky enough to have such a “magical” glass structure nearby). Then I find myself dreaming of donuts or ice cream cones from the shops down the street. And we all know that dish of peanut butter cup isn’t going to help get any sort of report done. If anything it will cause me to feel like curling up under my desk and luxuriating in an afternoon siesta session.
So what’s a busy girl to do? Well after much face stuffing I’ve found that the best course of action for me is to have satisfying snacks on hand that don’t leave me feeling deprived. My suggestion, for those of you who have found yourself doing some of the things I mentioned above, would be to pick up a box or two of the brand new Ritz Crackerfuls. They’re made with real cheese (which makes them really yummy) and they also have 5 grams of whole grains per serving.
Each individually wrapped cracker has around 130 calories, which might not seem like very much, but these granola bar sized cheese and cracker treats have been able to seriously curb my over indulgent snacking habit. Ritz Crackerfuls are the perfect size to keep in your work bag, catch-all office drawer, or you could even stash a few in the glove box of your car. Plus they come in four crave-worthy flavors (classic cheddar, four cheese, garlic herb, and cheddar cheese and bacon) so your picky taste buds wont get bored. I even have a special link to share that will save you $1.00 on Ritz Crackerfuls filled crackers. Be sure to click here for your coupon.
Perhaps the coolest part though is that in conjunction with Ritz and BlogHer.com I’m able to offer you the chance to win a $100 gift card. All you have to do to enter the giveaway for this great prize is to tell me one of your craziest snacking moments in the comments section of this post. Plus, you also have 17 other chances to win $100 gift cards from additional BlogHer reviewers. Simply visit the Ritz Crackerfuls Round-up Page to learn more. This contest will end on July 31, 2010. At that time I’ll personally select a winner via the nifty random number generator.

I can take down a bag of salt and vinegar Lays like its nobody’s business.
popcorn and Diet Coke for dinner!
My husband always makes fun of me for my penchant for snacking. One of my current obsessions is a handful of dark chocolate m&ms washed down with a Diet Dr. Pepper.
Wow, these look fabulous. I’m a long-time fan of Ritz and love that they have a new product.
Don’t put Sun Chips near me or I’ll destroy them… I actually like that the new bag is SO obnoxiously loud because it makes me stop eating them 🙂
My sisters and I used to love eating Waverly crackers topped with slices of cheddar cheese and mustard. It was the best.
I’ve tried the Ritz Crackerfuls and I REALLY like them! My snacking demon is the whole sweet/salty thing. I’ll start off with a cookie … and then I want a couple of chips. Then I need a piece of chocolate … which means I have to have a pretzel to balance things out. Before I know it it, I’ve got two boys asking me where the cookies and chips are and I’m denying I ever bought any.
It might work, too, if the boys weren’t 20 and 24. 🙂
One of my favorite childhood snacks was pretzels with plain cream cheese. DELISH.
Those crackers look delicious!
I have Nutella + graham crackers hidden in my nightstand for an almost nightly midnight snack. Shame!
In a panicky snack moment (wanting a peanut butter cup and not having any in the house), I dropped a giant handful of chocolate chips into a large jar of peanut butter and grabbed a spoon. It was soooo good.
Teddy Ghrams. Fast Break candy bar. Smoosh a piece of the candy bar between two Teddy Grahms. I have no idea how I discovered this but I most likely wasn’t sober.
One of my craziest snacking moments was probably the time I raided another departments refrigerator one night when I was working late. It was probably a dangerous thing not knowing how long it had been there, but it helped until I could go home.

If I see a jar of black olives, I can’t stop eating them until they’re all gone.
I eat pickles and a bowl of cereal a lot.
When I was in high school I would have, no joke, an entire can of Ranch Pringles and a hershey bar as an after school snack EVERY DAY on my way to practice. And of course I weighed a buck ten and had the metabolism of a circus freak.
Oh, those were the days.

Pretzels with mustard – for lunch or dinner!
My fave is popcorn with loads of butter, some Louisiana hot sauce, and parmesan cheese
I am a crazy snacker in general. I am super weird & eat double stuff oreos in the am (low blood sugar) but strangely I also love to snack on peeled turnips.
I can’t turn down cookie dough…I’m well-known for keeping a tub of it in the freezer and digging into it when I’m stressed!
Every once in a while I will have a very strong craving for grape soda and M&Ms. Not a very healthy snack 😉
My favorite snack, which always gets a weird look from anyone witnessing it, is to wrap a piece of cheese around my banana. It’s really delicious…no one thinks so until they try it and then most people do love it! I learned it from Mr. Rogers when I was little.
I love chips but hate when the bag seems to disappear in one sitting!
I make s’mores in the microwave… two at a time.
Do NOT leave me alone with a bag of Cheetos. They will meet a quick and untimely demise!!! hehe
If I could pick one unhealthy food that would magically be transformed into something healthy, it would probably be ranch flavor Doritos. I hardly ever let myself have them!
Thanks for entering me in the giveaway! By the way, my daughter loves Crackerfuls.
I don’t know that it’s a a crazy snacking moment, but it never, ever fails that someone will stop by my office or call me the moment I take a too-big bite of my apple. Never fails.
it was quite out-of-the-ordinary but: rosemary & olive oil triskets with a dollop of cream cheese & a sliced grape on top… mmmm
I can open a HUGE bag of Doritos and eat the whole bag before I realize what’s happened!
I’m a snacker by nature, I prefer to just snack all day instead of three meals. Not sure that I have any weird things….
I totally love to eat leftover COLD pizza for breakfast with a little peanut butter on top! It’s my version of toast!
I like to eat Reese’s Cups before i go to bed!
Actually, I love RITZ crackers! I was just telling my WW leader that they are a trigger food for me and I have a hard time keeping it to 1 serving. These crackerfuls are really good and I like that Ritz portioned controlled them for me!
Whenever I make cupcakes I reserve any left over frosting for dipping pretzel sticks in. LOVE the salty sweet combo. Its definitely one of my fave occasional snacks!!
I just got these awesome sweet-and-sour filled licorice strips at the 4th of July fair this weekend…a huge bag. It’s already half gone. @_@
I can also go through those Cadbury cream eggs at Easter like noone’s business!
Thank you for the giveaway. 🙂
The craziest snaking moment is always around that time of the month then it’s – lets find out what it is cupboard- hum choc chips- good but need something else- oh there’s potato chips, munch munch- yummy but didn’t quite fill that satisfaction button- lets see, frozen cookie dough balls- break tooth- hum, need something else…..
diet coke and a giant bag of wasabi fire doritis
I’ve eaten plenty of weird snacks: cans of tuna, waffles, cucumbers, and couscous.
Chocolate covered anything. I am a big fan of pecans, walnuts, cashews, pretzels,… covered in chocolate!
I once ate a half a tub of cookie dough in front of my toddler without her noticing. Sad but true. I felt so triumpant at the time!
Pickles and popcorn, yummy!!
We can’t have peanut butter in the house because my son is severely allergic, but one of my neighbors keeps a jar just for me. In a REAL snacking emergency, I can go down the street and grab a spoonful.
As a kid I loved apple slices with peanut butter on them, and then sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
Endless candy with diet soda … because that makes sense!
Cheetos are a throwback from my childhood that I love!
I used to almost always run downstairs to the coffee cart on my afternoon break and order a giant Health Bar Frap…it wasn’t a drink…it was sugar snack! Thankfully willpower took over at some point and I don’t do that anymore! 😉
Cold pizza in the middle of the night is great!
I love these Ritz Crackerfuls, great snack!
Popcorn, popcorn, popcorn! Then something sweet and it becomes a vicious circle of sweet and salty.
Alternate salty and sweet is my downfall – say, a couple of potato chips, then a Hershey’s kiss. Or a few peanuts, then a few grapes. Or a pretzel, then a couple of cherries. Or any other of the endless combinations. The particularly bad thing about this addiction is that your taste buds don’t get tired of binging, the way they can on a single flavor.
Peanut butter and banana!
I seem to like to pair snacks together … pretzel nuggets with Pringles chips, popcorn with Hershey kisses, etc. etc. Salty and sweet, it seems, is my downfall (well, one of my many downfalls!)
Doritos and popcorn together
rockinmomma@rockindeals4you.com
Making yesterday’s brownies into breakfast. Chocolate is best in the morning. 🙂
When I get really hungry for buttery popcorn, I will have it for lunch to minimize the calorie overload.
Diet pepsi and chocolate layer cake
I can eat anything chocolate by the truckload!
I love carmel popcorn favorite snack going
My craziest snacking moment took place at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California last summer… Garlic fries, garlic chicken, garlic bread, roasted corn with garlic butter, and garlic ice cream. Amongst all the food I tried, I’m sure I ate about 6 garlic cloves. We went there just to snack, and plan on going back this year sans garlic ice cream- yuck.
I wanted to lose weight so I threw all the junk food in the house in the trash and then tried to put gross stuff on top of it. A short time later I was digging it right back out to eat!
One day I had a craving for pickles and I ate a whole jar as a snack!
My craziest snacking moment by far was when I was 6 months pregnant and had a wicked craving for Hersheys chocolate. Well I ate a whole 2 pound bar and washed it down with a large dunking donuts coolatta! Needless to say that night wound me in the hospital because baby inside me was spazzing out. Literally bouncing off my walls for 2 hours straight!I gave my poor baby a sugar high with all that sugar intake!
My boyfriend and I wanted Krispy Kreme and decided impulsively that we should get a dozen since it is a better value. They were gone by the next day, and we were the only ones eating them. Bad idea.
I accidentally put sour cream on my bagel rather than cream cheese…I don’t know if it was crazy or if I was! 🙂
I hear you on the work-life balance. For me, the blog had to go, but I’m glad that wasn’t the case for you.
I am a big fan of the afternoon snack–130 calories isn’t that much. I usually budget myself 200–lately that looks like a huge container of watermelon + a small bit of almonds. Yum.
I was a theater arts major in college specializing in costumes. We were doing a show where the starring role was a very glamorous starlet type. She had a lot of clothes, and a ridiculously difficult quick change close to the beginning of the show (shoes, dress, hair).
My co-crew gal Leslie and I had slaved all afternoon, ironing the shirts, making repairs and making sure everything was ready for the evenings dress rehearsal. We took care of everyone, the rehearsal started and we fell down on the floor of the greenroom exhausted with a big bag of cheesy Sun Chips. We listened to the show start on the PA system that was piped through the backstage areas, munched chips and settled into a dozy zone of snacky goodness.
Then there was silence. Our eyes wide, we stared at each other, startled! The quick change! Chips flying we ran through several doors to backstage where we saw our poor actress standing with her dress undone and the next one held helpless in her hands.
Thank goodness it wasn’t opening night! We helped her change, begged forgiveness, and promised never to eat Sun Chips while working a show again.
My niece was really enjoying strawberry banana yogurt as a treat one day. She just kept eating and eating and eating it. That night, about an hour after she was put to bed, we heard a pathetic “mommy!” coming from her room. She had upchucked all that yogurt. Grossness.
Pickled okra is my snack of choice. i could eat almost a whole jar.
When I was pregnant (sure that’s a good excuse) I had a few weird snack moments. Seems I always wanted something white to eat. So I slathered mayo on my pickles, and cool whip on my roast beef (actually made these into roast beef rollups…) marshmellow creme on my hot dog. It got real weird. After the pregnancy, you will be relieved to know those cravings went totally away!
weird snacks-does mustard on fries count?
My teen son made a peanut butter and cheese sandwich and at first I said gross, but he gave me a piece and it was pretty good. Every once in awhile, we now make these sandwiches.
Thanks again

Once when I was dieting as a freshman, I wanted a snack and got a piece of cake. I ended up eating 7 pieces.
i’m a grazer by nature – have been since birth according to my mom – so i pretty much “snack”/eat small meals all the time. can recall anything really werid right now – but then what is “werid”? perhaps i do and just don’t realize it 🙂

When we just skip dinner and go for the guacamole and chips.
In high school after (uh, scratch that, FOR) breakfast, every single day, I would have a king size Milky Way and Cherry Coke. Breakfast of always late, sleep lacking, ready for the last bell, champions! 🙂
I bought the new Pretzel M & M’s for my daughter because I thought she would like them. I left them out on the counter but heard them calling my name….1/2 the bag gone before the daughter got home…and it was the BIG bag! Ugh…but really yummy!
Craziest snacking moment? Probably devouring a bag of chips and using cream cheese for dip! It’s so good!
I think one of my craziest snacking moments (I have a lot) would be eating 3 green mangoes in a row in the Philippines. I was craving for sour food and I loved the way they tasted. I did have a tummy ache afterwards but that did not deter me from eating them again the next day 🙂
eating 6 chunks of fudge because it tasted so good!
tvollowitz at aol dot com
A bucket of figs. Paid for it later
I do the sweet and salty thing, Cheez-its, honey mustard pretzel chips and Gardetto’s snack mix and banana chips all mixed together
singermagic1(at)yahoo(dot)com
Hahah come to the think of it…I remember the first time I studied abroad in Beijing…and went shopping in the local grocery stores. I saw pocky sticks of ALL FLAVORS for a really low price, so I bought 6 different boxes – chocolate, vanilla, green tea, honey, strawberry, and milk….and I polished them off in ONE SITTING!!! Funny thing is, I didn’t kick myself afterwards…i found my favorite flavor: milk!!!
i consider myself a grazer–i just snack all day. crazy moments and random combinations come often. my latest obsession is marshmallow creme mixed into vanilla ice cream and sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs. 🙂
My craziest snack moment was when I was jonesing for brownies, I had all the ingredients besides flour. i did however have the flour I mix for fried chicken, yes it has cayenne pepper in it, but desperate times, ya know? I have to say that was one of the best batch of brownies I have ever eaten
I grab a handful of dry roasted peanuts or a granola bar but I love ritz crackers and the fact that they come in four different flavors would surely give me some variety.
I dont recall any crazy moments, it doesnt seem like a time to get wacky.
I would have to say that my craziest snacking moments are when I eat a handful of snacks at a time and before long realize that I just ate the entire bag of chips or candy. Never understand how that happens:)
FROZEN DIET COKE AND POPCORN
Craziest snacking moments? Those are usually brought on by those too-adorable pouches of mini Oreos or Chips Ahoy. Really, I can’t be left alone with them for a minute.
Doritos and diet coke for breakfast
An ice cream sundae for breakfast is the best.
My very favorite snack of all time is Salsa Doritos (not Salsa Verde, not Spicy Nacho, but SALSA) and cream cheese. Unfortunately I think they discontinued the Salsa kind cause I haven’t been able to find them for yeaaarrrrs. Boo.
Pretzel rods and diet Sprite
Hm tough one…probabaly vodka martini and escargot 🙂
i just read every single comment, which is incredible. It’s a relief to hear so many people are like me, in that, if I get really hungry, and there’s something naughty nearby, will power can eff itself all the way to china.
Recently, I’ve discovered I luuuurve peanut butter and pickle sandwiches with a tiny bit of chipotle smeared in the peanut butter. It’s so flipping good.
I’m also pretty weird when it comes to cereal. I’ll at handfuls of nuts, fruit, candy, etc. I once ate a bowl of grapenuts with those little candy coated chocolate easter eggs on top. Don’t know if I’ll ever do that one again.
Don’t beat yourself up too much, Erin. It’s a wicked stressful time for all of us. Nobody I know has the time to treat themselves the way they deserve.
much love.
When I was pregnant with our son I loved pickles wrapped in cheese and bacon.
I once had a serious sweet tooth, but was trying to keep things healthy, so I took a banana and popped it into the freezer, once it was semi frozen I smothered it in peanut butter and dipped it in chocolate chips, then popped it back into the freezer to harden. I mean, it’s kinda healthy right? 😉 lol
I love to eat chocolate, but for some reason I then have to chase it with something salty.
craziest snacking moments would be pickles and toast
Well, I too love to graze before dinner on all kinds of snacks lol
Olives are a fave of mine and I have this weird salty/savory VS. sweet thing going on(maybe OCD? lol)..If I start with the chips/olives, etc…I have to end on something sweet….
I, like many of you surely, have done the dreaded “shoppedwhenyou’restarving” thing lol…BAD IDEA!! I grab all kinds of unhealthy (and some healthy thrown in for good measure) things to graze on when I got home..I was wolfing down everything like I had not eaten for days lol..stomach aches later of course..but at the time, pure bliss lol
Thanks for the chance to win!

I mix dark chocolate m&ms in a bowl with cashews. When I grab a small handfill, I get sweet and salty in one taste.
I have had a lifelong habit of eating raw in the shell sunflower seeds. They take a lot of time (and expertise) to eat, and I am a master. But I can sit with a bag for 2 hours and my husband looks at me like I am pretty strange.
I’ve been looking forward to this post 😉 Most of my craziest snacking moments happened in college – once I ate an entire bag of frosted animals crackers (the ones with sprinkles!) – oops.
When I’m really hungry I just grab anything I can find in the fridge, cant think of crazy things though
I like vanilla ice cream and
salty pretzel.
We go camping every year at this campground which sold the best chocolate milk ever in their camp store. A friend and I decided we needed some of that cow juice during this awful downpour. The husbands had taken the car so we ended out slogging a mile in the rain just to indulge ourselves.
I snack constantly. Its hard for me to stop. I love snacking on string cheese and almonds. But usually its whatever my hands reach for. It finds its way into my mouth.
Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate.
What else is there?
I try to always have something on hand that is healthy to prevent me from consuming the wrong food
My crazy snacking is at work saltines with butter!
emtstacey76@live.com
When I was younger, I would go entire days eating nothing but trail mix. And not even the healthy trail mix–I ate the stuff with candy in it. I hope those days are solidly behind me.
shelled pistachios stuck in the middle of grapes thanks
Out of everything – but potato chips, ketchup – not bad when the cupboards were bare!
I would open a container of ready to spread frosting just to get a spoonful. Of course then I would have to make cupcakes or a cake to use the rest of the frosting on so it didn’t go to waste………..
If I’m really hungry, I can go through a whole large bag of pita chips. with hummus of course!
My craziest snacking moments involve overdoing it on one snack or another (like a whole bag of barbecue popchips….) sometimes I need to control myself a little better
I had a lot of crazy snack moments when I was in the Peace Corps. I would keep a jar of peanut butter hidden in my room and once had had to thaw a bag of raisins over a space heater. ha ha ha
I have been known to pig out on fresh mozzarella!
One spoon + one jar of marshmallow fluff + one jar of nutella… The entire scene was deccimated in twenty minutes. Ugh – but so good…
For me, it’s sweet. Then salty. Then sweet. Then salty. M&Ms followed by pretzels are a personal fave.
I once made an omelet as a midnight snack.
I have a weakness for Cashews….if they are in the house I eat…all of them! (If there are none in the house, I will opt for fruit, a much lower calorie option)
Awesome! Thanks for the coupon.
I tossed together a lb of extra sharp cheddar, a half a cup of chopped peanuts, 2 minced jalapeno peppers and some toasted rye bread pieces and threw it in the oven for about 5 minutes. It was way to hot with the jalapeno and so I mixed together some chopped unsweetened chocolate with uncooked oatmeal and mixed that together with the cheese batch, then threw it back it the oven for another 5 minutes. It wasn’t what I expected but it pretty good.
i do the same thing when things get stressful, and i really can’t keep up! (which has felt like all the time lately) for awhile i could resist, but recently i’ve fallen victim to the extra donuts someone from work brings in at the end of the day (his main job is at his bakery). not crazy, but not many people have bakers working in a lab at night 🙂
When I was young and stupid, I could finish off a whole bag of chips.
When I was younger, Cool Ranch Doritto’s were all I ate when I snacked!
Cashews! I will eat an entire can!
Eating 1/2 a box of Cheeze Its
My son and I eat Nutella, Peanut Butter, & Marshmallow Fluff out of the pantry when no one is around and we have been very good!
Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com
Making this jalapeno dip that I make for a party, but eating most of it with my face in the fridge before I go to a party!
I usually eat watermelon seeds as a snack.

I grab chocolate chips and melt them in the microwave. Then I add peanut butter and eat it by the spoonful.
Anything w/peanut butter and chocolate, I have ZERO self control and even if I am stuffed if I find that combo I will gorge on it!
My worst snack story was one time when I was babysitting, the mum had left me unsalted, unbuttered (unflavored) popcorn. It tasted just like those edible packing peanuts. Blech. So I raided their cheese drawer to jazz it up.
I like to snack on boiled eggs and sweet pickles. And no I’m not pregnant.
There was a day when I was low on food but didn’t feel like going to the store… AND I was PMSing. So my snack looked something like this: potato chips, chocolate square, cheese, spoonful of Nutella, more potato chips (with a pickle), and the last of the chocolate milk. It was that need for sweet, then salty, then sweet, then salty… bad experience! LOL.
I’ve had these! David bought them for the kids and luckily I got one in time. They were gooood!
My craziest snacking moment was as a kid, we never had any snacks in the house, just apples or something lame, so I would take a square of bakers chocolate (the kind with no sugar), melt it in a double boiler (this was before anyone had a microwave oven) and add white sugar, then spread it on toast. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Thanks!
I had taken my son to church and, since he was little at the time, I had some Cheerios in a bag in my purse, just in case! Well, he was good and quiet but I had an overwhelming urge to eat those Cheerios so I had to sneak them, one at a time, into my mouth and try to chew so no one would notice. And that’s my craziest snacking moment!
I haven’t had this in a while but I used to love to eat peanut butter and mustard sandwiches.
sign me up
Nobody in my household knows this, but I often indulge in spoonfuls of peanut butter dipped in chocolate chips. YUM.
Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
Call me old fashion, but nothing like a bottle (not a can)of pepsi with a bag of planters peanuts inside. Now that’s cold relieve with an added snack.
I have a weakness for peanut butter, nutella, choc chips, honey, banana, etc on wheat tortillas. Not all at once, but once I get that craving…there’s no stopping me… I can down 5 in no time. Especially on really stressful days! I’ll sit on the counter by the microwave and await my delicious gooey treat!
OMG!
My craziest snacking movements always involve ICE CREAM!!!
For me, it is the ultimate comfort food 🙂
I’ve always been a pickle fiend…my dad bought me a huge jar of pickles one year for Christmas. I think I was in heaven for a few months.
Ohh, how about eating a melted Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup with a spoon this afternoon because I literally could not wait for it to solidify back up. THAT’S how much I needed chocolate…as a snack. 😉
popcorn with hot sauce
I would have to say tunafish and popcorn as a snack at a slumber party once
I’ve been cruising through the Wendy’s drive-through, picking up Oreo Frostys. It helps me maintain a shiny coat.
we have a open air market across the street and they make fresh kettlt corn…it;s smells great and tastes even better
My craziest snacking moment is right before I go to bed.
Had to be the day we all were fighting over a can of cashews and when my hubby grabbed the can and I pulled it back they went flying everywhere. No one got cashews!
dolniaks[at]consolidated[dot]net
I normally have a sweet tooth, but when I was pregnant I wanted salty snacks. I can remember eating an entire Chinese food dinner…and then heading to the mall with hubby for a giant pretzel! He just went along with it, but rolled his eyes when I was eating, and said, “You are SOOOOOO pregnant!”. Well, duh! 😉
Thanks for such a great giveaway,

Killing an entire bag of Doritos at the beach. Hey…swimming makes me hungry 😉
i have a major weakness for peanut butter. if it’s in the house i’ll eat it. straight from the jar. it makes my boyfriend SO mad!!!!
it’s allllll about the smoothie! blueberries, banana, green yogurt, and a scoop of amazing grass.
Occasionally when I haven’t eaten and get low blood sugar, I end up eating anything and everything within sight as fast as I can. For example: cookies, leftovers, chips, grilled cheese, apple, cheesy tortilla, and anything else in sight. All within about five minutes. 🙂
i was at a cookout recently where i sat at the table eating everything in sight while the hostess made margaritas.
Diet Dr. Enuf and Synder sour cream and onion chips
Joy:)
My weakness is sweets but for a treat I will eat Salt and Vinegar chips, YUUUMMM!!! Salty and then eat something sweet with it.
Would you believe handfuls of Honey Bunches of Oats, without milk?
I crave popcorn washed down with diet coke!
I used to live on snacks. Orange Crush soda and Oberto thin-style peppered beef jerky were my favorites, but I also ate a lot of sunflower seeds in the shell.
I could eat an entire bag of Lime Tostitos in one sitting.
Cheetos. I had to stop buying the family size bag because I would finish it in just a couple days.
In my unhealthier days I used to eat peanut m&m’s and cheezits together

I was having a moment and couldn’t decide salty or sweet. I ended up eating a half of a donut and a bag of chips with a diet mt dew.
Made some great spicy cookies for Christmas one year. Froze a couple dozen,so that there’d be some for holiday guests etc. Only one that ate them was me!! Still my favorite Christmas cookie
cold Campbell’s soup (veggie or chicken noodle). Sigh.
When I was a child I used to like to snack on frozen Cool Whip straight out of the freezer.
eating old cereal off the floor of my car because i was starving!
autumn398 @ yahoo.com
Peanut m&m’s and a bottle of water. The water makes the whole snack healthy right?? 🙂
When I was pregnant with my second child the only snack that satisfied my cravings were three or four slices of toast spread with Green Goddess dressing which I would down, one after the other. And then tell the doctor I was sticking to the diet he gave me!
Probably when I ate a snickers and ended up having chocolate on my behind at work :/
Cheese and crackers… what more could a girl ask for? I snack on these all the time… but give me some nachos and I can win a speed eating contest!
I can’t help but tilt the empty bag into my mouth to catch all the crumbs!
Love…Love…Love popcorn eaten with M&M’s Sweet, salty, Chocolately, addictive!
A bag of Dove Peanut Butter Chocolate Promises doesn’t last long around me!
I like to drop peanuts in my Pepsi-they taste so good together!

In college, my favorite snack was a brown sugar frosted pop tart and a diet coke!
saltines drizzled with Newman’s Own dressing
Don’t tell anyone but I once drank a whole batch of my homemade chocolate ice cream topping.
A tomato sandwich with lots of mayo – yum.
I love these, right now I have a box of the Four Cheese.
Eating another entire bowl of cereal right after finishing off a sizable bowl.
Crazy snacking moment, huh? That would have to be the day we got a box of pastry sweets from a vendor and the 8 people in the office all crowded around it with spoons. It was delightful and social!
I am a snackaholic so you should see my shopping cart! I love chocolate,chips ,ice cream and nachos! I love homemade salsa ,corn chips ,sour cream and cheese! First I melt the asiago cheese and everyone says its a stinky cheese but I love it and get to eat it all by myself!!
Mix some sour cream with the salsa and enjoy!! I don’t have it too often and I can say its healthy because I made the salsa from the garden veggies!!LOL
I can down a full size back of peanut m&ms in one sitting 🙂
Besides a diet mountain dew and peanut m&ms??? Oatmeal pies, more than one – which is why I don’t buy them!
Thanks
Two family size bags of M&Ms in the early morning, say 3 O’clock am.
The craziest would be when I was dipping chocolate into the ranch dip! LOL
Quick Tattletails
I’m sure my DH would concur that it is when I substitute ketchup for chip dip with chips. He thinks that is really freeky.
I can eat an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in one sitting
In a pinch I steal mini Hershey’s bars from my kids’ Halloween candy stash, melt them, and dip animal crackers in there. Klassy!
Craziest snacking moment? Guess I’ll go with sneaking my hubby’s food when he’s not looking, LOL.
Gotta go with, mustard, chip, and cheese sandwiches! Yum!
Thanks!
When I was pregnant with my son, I was desperate for vanilla ice cream with peanut butter topping. It was late at night, and all the ice cream shops were closed. Not to be deterred, I decided I was going to take peanut butter and cook it on the stovetop, hoping to make a nice sauce like the sundae sauce. I ended up with a burnt, smelly mess-and had to toss out the pan. The next day, I went to the sundae shop and purchased a half gallon of JUST the peanut butter sauce, they looked at me like I was nuts and had no price for it-but the manager, seeing my very pregnant belly, felt sorry for me so told them to let me have it for 5 bucks…lol.
Beet pickles–have to watch out because the juice will really stain!
One day I wanted a snack and couldn’t find anything to fill my hunger. So I went through the snack cabinet and took a little of everything 🙂

I try to keep healthy snacks in my desk at work. But sometimes I have to have chips. And I eat pretty much the whole bag. Not a vending machine sized bag, but the “family size”. lisacarr7 at aol dot com
Sadly, I used to eat ruffled potato chips with frosting. I’m not proud of it but I remember it fondly…
When pregnant with my first, I loved cheese. In fact, I frequently commented how I wish they made cheese-flavored ice cream. One night, in a moment of cravings, I threw some cheddar cheese into my bowl of vanilla ice cream. Alas, it was one of the most disgusting things I’ve eaten. Oh well!
Pretzels and canned cake frosting
It was 2 am, and I had snuck to the kitchen to obscound with the peanut butter and crackers. As I am quietly trying to sneak back to my room, my room mate rounds the corner. Busted…..again!
chow mein noodles and m&m’s
Sadly, my craziest snacking moments are probably when I get carried away (loving whatever I’m eating) and just don’t stop… sigh!
I had a bag of popcorn for lunch just yesterday!
Normally regular chips are a downfall for me when I want salt so I don’t keep them around much any more
Spaghetti-O’s right out of the can! Not warmed or anything!
My most craziest snacking moments was when I was pregnant at the race track. I had to have a soft pretzel Now!!
I’ve dug into a jar of Nutella! Just me and the spoon–I’m not proud.
eating pickles and sugar
At work, when we would snack on Bugles…. we had to put one of the horns in our lips & say “Doo Do Do Dooo!”
Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<
My craziest snacking moment involved hiding in the garage with two friends and shoving an entire Hostess Ding Dong in my mouth without biting it. I don’t quite remember why we were doing this but it was hilarious.
Late morning snack of warm blueberry banana bread with cream cheese instead of lunch.
can of frosting, got about halfway through before it became too sweet
my crazy snack moments occur in the car.. once i needed a sweet snack so bad on a 2 hour commute that i stopped at a grocery store bought some icecream and made stop at their deli for a spoon.. and ate some delicious double chocolate brownie icecream on my drive
mhh crazy snacking moment? I love to eat popcorn with lime juice and hot sauce, yum!
Banana slices with a dab of peanut butter covered with chocolate sprinkles
Sometime it’s a dish of ice cream. Sometimes it’s something else like applesauce.
Caleb
Usually something like a cookie or some crackers is enough to keep me going.
When I’m craving to munch on something, a favorite would be to make some cinnamon & sugar toast.
My favorite snack.
Oh, I’ll tell ya all right.
It’s a PB&J sandwich.
…But it doesn’t stop there. First you slap some PB on the bread, banana slices go next, sprinkle some shaved coconut over that & then cover it in ground cinnamon. Then, I usually get some sort of intriguing jelly. Right now my favorite is apricot pineapple.
And THAT is how I put together a PB&J sandwich. It’s delicious too!
I love hot peppers and Tabasco sauce. I bought a bottle of yummy wing sauce (I think Frank’s brand) the other day and drank a huge glug right out of the bottle. yum!
I once ate an entire large watermelon while I was cutting it up for my family’s dessert. One piece led to another and before I knew it, the entire HUGE thing was gone!
I was about 5 years old & my parents and grandparents took me out to a very nice restaurant. I was starving & they had a relish tray at the table. I devoured the black olives in the try in about 30 seconds flat. The gentleman at the next table was so astonished he brought his relish tray over & offered me their black olives. Needless to say I was mortified (my parents & grandparents were almost rolling on the floor laughing so hard). I did say no thank you to the nice gentleman.
When I was pregnant I would snack on jalapeno potatoe chips and ranch dip – endless amounts until I was sweating from the spice and really really full.
My crazy snack is cottage cheese with steak seasoning and pickles. It sounds good about now and yes I’ve eaten this many times in the past.
Trying to convince myself that a slice of low-fat turkey is a treat!
I love to snack on Ritz crackers spread with Laughing Cow cheese. Yum!
My craziest snacking moments are when there is a freshly baked pan of brownies in the house… I have no control then!
Craziest snacking moment, eh? Well, Little Debbie Swiss Rolls are a favorite of mine. So much so that my wife hides them in the house or I’ll eat them all in 6 hours. So my craziest snacking moment involves ransacking the house in a vain attempt to find them. (I know they’re here somewhere…)
Anything Chocolate is my weakness!
Craziest would have to be when we take a bag of M&M, Popcorn and icecream all in one bowl. It all goes to the same place right
I top pita chips with tabasco sauce. Yes, it’s kind of gross….but it’s so yummy.
These are perfect for my kids too! They are mini foodies, growing like crazy, and always hungry. As we head off to the beach, these will be in the tote bag along with the juice boxes!
I am a salt person all the way. I can eat cheese and crackers until the cows come home. Big weakness is Cheez Its. Oh my, just trouble. I can inhale them.
cashews
I love wasabi peas, I could a whole can as a snack.
My craziness snacking thing is even though I am STUFFED from dinner I still have to have a sweet snack afterwards…like a cookie.
Goldfish dipped in chocolate pudding! I’ve done it since I was little!
My craziest snacking moments usually happen when my husband is out of town. I’ll get carryout chips & dip from my favorite Mexican place, then stop by DQ for a shake, then head home and enjoy in front of the tv.
My craziest snacking moments have been the result of frustration. Eating 1/2 gallon of frozen yogurt was probably the craziest.
Captain Crunch Peanut Butter Cereal, with some added spanish peanuts. Mmmm.
For emergencies I keep KRAFT EASY CHEESE CHEDDAR ‘N BACON in my cupboard. I do not consider it real food, but sometimes I like a squirt right into my mouth. Or onto a ritz cracker. My cat loves the stuff and I’ll squirt a bit on her nose and watch her try to eat it. Thanks for the contest.
Pizza with extra sauce, pepperoni, canadian bacon, hamburger, mushrooms, green peppers, & onions. I take off the peppers and onions and most of the hamburger. I then use a small amount of parmesan cheese and dried red pepper flakes. I like the smell of the ingredients I remove, but I don’t like the texture of them. They do say smell is a big part of the taste!
I just dig a spoon into peanut butter jar and eat straight!
mint chocolate chip ice cream rocks my world!!!!
I haven’t been camping in ages but I had a huge craving for s’mores, so I heated up some marshellows in the microwave and put them on my graham crackers with chocolate, even though I felt a little silly!
I should keep the salty chips out of the house because they are my downfall when I have a craving. Thanks.
Chocolate is my downfall and I can make myself sick eating it. There such a thing as chocolate overload. I put brownie, chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, whip cream, and a cherry. I was almost shaking afterwards.
I ate a whole cantaloupe the other day. I pregnant and I couldn’t get enough of it 🙂
Oy, I once ate a whole bag (big one) of Cheetos.
I am not an early riser, and the Donut places around here open at 5am and close by llam. When I have had a longing for a chocolate covered eclair it has required the commitment of staying up all night so I could hit the local shop upon opening.
One of my craziest snacking moments? When I lost my mind and ate a dozen cookies.
pringles… I love pringles… salty goodness
Air-pop popcorn and a diet coke for lunch on the weekend. Yum!!!
I used to get made fun of for dipping carrots in ketchup…
I have been known to eat more than I should of the Wise cheese puffs…they are too good!
My weirdest snacking moment – potato chips with M & M’s! One chip- one M & M – like an appetizer!
In High School my best friend and I were going to spend the night at my house, starting with swimming in the pool at the clubhouse, movies, etc. We hit the market first to get snacks for the night and both had a massive craving for Swiss Rolls. So we took everything else home but the Swiss Rolls. We took those to the pool. We’d swim a lap, eat a Swiss Roll (in the water mind you), swim a lap, eat a Swiss Roll – repeat, repeat, repeat until they were all gone. Not sure the swimming did us much good!
When I don’t feel too guilty about it, I will make a batch of eggless cookie dough for a snack. LOVE me some cookie dough!!
Barbecue potato chips and salsa—’nuff said!
dlhaley[at]hotmail[dot]com
Popcorn, i eat it almost everyday…sometimes a huge bowl for dinner. Or my other fave is cookie, i never actually bake it though…eat a ton of it at the time and put the rest in the fridge to snack on!
This is soooooooooo bad but there used to be a show on that was 3 friends or whatever and a diet guy showing them how to exercise and eat right- the mini diva and I would at the start of the show grab a big bowl of vanilla almond special k and eat while we watched 😛
Boiled and shelled peanuts with evening tea has remained as one of the ideal snacking moments for me!!!

When I buy chocolate chips, they usually end up being a snack before I can bake cookies.
when i was a kid, i used to eat pickles with ranch dressing. and it still sounds somewhat appealing to me.
doritos dipped in Kens hot wing sauce mixed with ranch dressing, oh the pain later but o sooooo good!
I like pickles with tuna…pb and banana, cracker and cheese
I love popcorn dipped nacho cheese sauce.
I love cheddar & sour cream chips smashed up on a bagel with cream cheese…don’t knock til you try it!
Kettle corn and a cold A&W Root beer.
Most of the dishes that we eat are very mellow as we just don’t do spicy or hot.
But then we found Cajun Crab dip at the Fresh Market.
I love to spread it on a Captains Wafer and eat it as a snack even though it is definitely spicier than I am used to. It seems the more you eat the warmer it gets but you just can’t give it up.
Thank you so much for the giveaway.

A pint of Haagen Daz Mango ice cream OR Ben & Jerry’s Peach Cobbler ice cream….before you know it, the pint was gone. 🙁 I also love popcorn with an ice cold Pepsi.
I have a horrible addiction to kit kats—it’s amazing I’m not 500 lbs the way I put them down 🙂 The worst time is when I’m sitting down to watch a movie!
I love eating ice cream and potato chips while I read a book in bed!
The ice cream is the ‘dip!’ I don’t have to dirty a spoon that way!
Thanks for the giveaway!
In one of my craziest snack moments, I got the strange notion to dip celery in a jar of pumpkin butter and, you know what, it was actually pretty delicious!
My hubby is the snacker in our family. He loves popcorn and somedays considers that his supper. He can eat two bags of microwave popcorn while watching tv at night.
Beef jerky and honey mustard!
My snacking craziness is if I eat anything sugary. Once I have one bite, then watch out…. It’s a sugar fest! I have a hard time stopping all the sugary goodness!
Years ago when I worked swing shift I couldn’t sleep when I got home, so I’d always stop off and buy a bag of Ruffles and some Horseradish & Chive dip. I always intended it to last all week, but the next night I’d always have to stop at the store after work for more.
I have had more than one occasion of having chips & salsa or popcorn for dinner.
I have been known to make rice crispy treats for the kids and eat most of the plate by myself and have to make them some more!
This was back in the days when movie theaters only had 1 movie. Every year, Gone with the Wind would come to a theater and I would go see it. Well… one year I was dieting, which meant no popcorn. So I bought a bag of frozen french-cut green beans with me so I’d have a crunchy snack to eat during the movie!
I work nights and oftentimes don’t get home until after Midnight. Those tend to be weak moments for me, snack-wise, but I try to at least have something resembling “healthy” food, so I usually grab a brick of sharp cheddar cheese and a knife, then sit back and eat half the brick, a slice at a time, while surfing the Web and/or watching tv.
Many thanks!
Eeek I’ve been so hungry at work before, but couldn’t leave my desk for a little while. I was putting tabasco sauce on my finger and licking it just to keep myself alive!
My craziest snack attack? Ugh! I once ate an entire Sara Lee Double Chocolate Fudge cake in one sitting! I am so bad! Thank you. 🙂
being preagnant and getting up in the middle of the night to snach out the fridge
I eat coffee grounds. I will grind up a small sandwhich bag worth of coffee and leave it on the table beside my computer. I’ll get a few bites here and there through out the day. I end up eating about a pot worth of coffee a day.
My craziest snacking moment is when I feel like something sweet and sour. I take a dill pickle dip it into my baby daughter’s strained carrots and add a little chocolate sauce.
I love cottage cheese and cheerios mixed together. Been eating that combo for years!
quitecontrary1977@hotmail.com
I like to spread white frosting on chocolate rice cakes – it’s yummy!
I baked a loaf of banana nut bread for a gathering the next day and “snacked” the entire thing away that same night.
I can easily eat a whole bag of Cheddar and Sour Cream ruffles…yum! 🙂 Thanks!
I have a real weakness for cheese and crackers
I dont know how crazy this snacking would be but I used to partially melt ice cream in the microwave, and sprinkle Cheerios over that with chocolate syrup all over it
One time I ate a whole box of crackers by myself. I knew after that I needed an intervention
shopgurl101@gmail.com
I thought i would be healthy if I snacked on a rice cake, but its not a healthy snack if you eat the whole bag of them and top them with a port wine cheese spread

My crazy snack moment is when I wake up in the middle of the night and eat Potato Chips.
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
One night I had a craving for a salty and sweet food so I had some ice cream and put a bunch of nuts on top of it.
not crazy but love to go to Mcdonalds for a double cheeseburger and a hot fudge sunday
My favorite snack growing up was mayonnaise sandwiches. My mother would constantly tell me that it was totally “gross” but it’s still my favorite late night snack when the craving hits!
Cocoa with stevia and almond butter mixed it. Not so good.
I could snack all I wanted as a kid and not gain and ounce so I’m sure I did lots of crazy snacking that I can’t remember, my cousin and I did like drinking Dr. Pepper with Twizzlers for straws
A bag of Wavy Lay’s potato chips, a container of sour cream, finely shredded cheddar cheese, and Bacon Salt. 🙂 I was sick the rest of the night, but it was soooooooo worth it.
Smores made in the mircowave when I am desperate and it is too hot to build a fire.
Crazy snacking? My snacks aren’t crazy to me, but to other people, maybe. I do hide the fact that I put peanut butter in my ice cream.
I can sit and eat a while roll of Spree’s like there is no tommorow!
madamerkf at aol dot com
I don’t eat ice cream until it’s half-melted.
Craziest snacking moment…oreo cookies with mustard on them!
If there is chocolate and popcorn, I can’t stop until I’m either puking or it is all gone.
I have a thing for chessecake I can eat alot of it and Im not a big eatter.
tishajean@charter.net
My craziest snacking moments were when I was pregnant…I would get up at night just dying for some sugar and I would eat cookies and things! Yes, my thighs bear this burden to this day so try not to let this happen to you! Pregnancy does crazy things to a person.
After I failed my first behind the wheel test, I ate like a whole cake. It was a lot of cake. lol
One time I got a craving and I stuck marshmallows, hersey kisses and peanuts in a bowl and microwaved them until it was melted then ate it out of the bowl with a spoon.

The craziest snack moment happened when I was on a road trip. We had been driving for miles without a rest stop when we finally came to a gas station. The only snack they had was a local delicacy called “cheese curds”. GAG! LOL
pauleyd68 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I’ve wiped out a box of fruit snacks along with an 8 pack package of string cheese within an hour. What a pig!
After the kids and hubby go to bed-me and the dog get crazy with a bag of Doritos…
no19034770 @yahoo.com
I love popcorn, and I love it with butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder! Thanks!
extreme Goldfish,and peanut butter m&m’s
Crazy snacking thing would be cake batter mixed with just water. Weird but good!
