Jolly Ranchers/most hard candy. That ribbon candy my grandma used to have at Christmas time, anything with coconut in it (allergies) those shrimp chips at the Oriental Markets, spicy doritos/chips. Does anyone remember Bugles? Yuck. Other than that, there isn't much I will pass by when it comes to snacks.

I'd forgotten about some of the things that were listed.

Watermelon and anise flavored candies are also easy to pass up. (Actually, I spit them out if I get one by mistake)

My DH likes canned sardines. THOSE are easy for me to pass up!

Oh, that sounds good right now! I only like bologna cold, but I could do some on some country white bread with ketchup and lettuce and wash it down with a Pepsi, no problem! Maybe with a side of Ruffles potato chips...

OTOH, those salt and vinegar chips I wouldn't touch. Nothing with vinegar! Pickles - NO-O!

Cowtails, Peeps (like them better when they've been open a couple of days and more chewy) and Little Debbie Peanut Butter Bars.

Dark chocolate is very good for you, they say a little bit a day. A fast and easy recipe from barefoot contessa and you really can just eat a little.
Chocolate Crackle
Melt good chocolate ( I have used white and it is great) in microwave for 1 min. keep checking and stir to just melt it.
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment or wax paper.
Spread chocolate very thin on it.
Have Ready ( any dried combo you wish) eg. apricots, cherries, raisins , cranberries, assorted nuts.
Sprinkle over the chocolate and press lightly.
Refrigerate till cool
Unfold paper and make into uneven chunks..YummmYummmEnjoy

don't think anybody mentioned "gooseberrys " I'm reading this thread waiting for a gooseberry and blueberry pie to finish in the oven . Have fans on but couldn't keep the fresh fruit longer.
You'all are invited for pie and coffee as I usually don't have such special treats.
