I CANNOT stop eating these things and must reluctantly ban them from the house for my own good (except for entertaining ;-). I have similar issues with really good potato chips, certain seed-sprinkled cheese aperitif crackers I buy in EU... what munchies are on your freak-out list? Or does everyone else have better self-discipline than I do?

The day you posted this, I went to TJ's and bought a bag. They are good, but what I REALLY liked was the Chili-spiced pineapple. So yummy.
The other thing is hummus. I have to portion it out or I will eat the entire family sized tub.

My downfall is white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and ice cream. And strawberries and whipped cream.

Oh, and omg, Nutella. The most addicting substance on the planet.

In México we have "Papas Sabritas" (Chips) with a slogan that (sort of) translates to: "I bet you can't have only one". I can't.

Mmmm... chips and salsa and/or chips and guacamole, I have no self-control when they're on the table. Nor do I when it comes to my mom's turkey stuffing. Can't get enough of it, either.

Yep, I had to move south to escape Drakes products. My Mother-in-law used to ship me Devil Dogs while she was still alive. Every trip north, I leave room in the suitcase for Yankee Doodles and Devil Dogs.
