Can't have 'em in the house
Just tried Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Nutty Bits, chunks of a light nut crunch (almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, pistachios) dipped in 60% dark chocolate and lightly sprinkled with fleur de sel--crunchy, not too sweet, and of course the dark chocolate adds to their charm. 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 single hardest munchie for me to stop eating once I've started is - by far - original Fritos. Others are smokehouse almonds, salted cocktail peanuts, salted peanuts in the shell, and Lays kettle potato chips. No problem limiting sweets.

Popcorn
Popcorn from a real popper. I can't stop eating it. Eating a lot makes me queasy the next day but I will still eat it till it's gone. That's kinda scary isn't it.

I have a Stir Crazy popcorn popper. It doesn't matter how much I make, I always eat every last kernel. And the best thing about it, it doesn't matter how cheap the popcorn, the Stir Crazy pops 99.9% of the kernels.

That would be Crunchy Cheetos for me. I have no problem saying no to the Puff variety, however.

Fried rice crackers. They used to serve them at the SFO RCC when that
dungeon was shared by Virgin Atlantic. Amazingly addictive.

A summer job scooping ice cream at Brigham's cured me of that addiction, even many many years later.

Nacho Cheese flavor Doritos

Tortilla chips with decent (not even good) salsa/guacamole

Frosted Flakes (I've since relegated it to a "Weekend" cereal - that is, when I buy it)
