What is your favorite impulse food?

[Missy]

 

[Missy]

Mine varies depending on my mood. But if I had to choose just one impulse food I think of something easy to grab, easy to eat and delicious to boot. Right now that is dark dairy free gluten free chocolate. I found this at our local supermarket in the checkout aisle (haha that's where they get you and your impulsive urges) and am enjoying it far too much.

What's your favorite impulse food?

No way I can pick just one.

For impulse foods:
- Kraft mac n cheese (something about it just makes me happy).
- Ramen (the square shaped packages that you can buy 4 for $1)

For impulse snacks:
- Cookies (chocolate chip, Keebler elf fudge, vanilla wafers)
- CHOCOLATE (any shape or size)

OK I want to play too and pick more than one cause let's face it I love to eat and I do it often.

Impulse snacks for watching movies at home:
Popcorn by the bucket

Impulse snacks late at night (for me this is at 7PM LOL and not kidding):
Dairy free ice cream

Impulse snacks any time of day:
Dark chocolate (and I do mean any time of day as I just finished eating some dark chocolate at 5AM this morning)

AIP granola in a jar (dairy free, grain free, gluten free but delicious nonetheless)

Comfort food makes me happy too and your Kraft mac n cheese is comfort food for sure. I am getting hungry (and I just ate a lot) just thinking about mac n cheese. Oy and Yummm.

Yeah, my choices are definitely a combination of comfort & impulse food.
And I swear to you those cookies just jump into my cart as I walk past.

Yes same thing happens to me with the dark chocolate haha. Somehow it just leaps into my cart as I am checking out. Darn you dark chocolate!

The rest of my "impulse" foods I have to order online but I am impulsive online and off so my impulses are not discriminating in any way. Equal opportunity impulses for me.

Hershey’s kisses...I can’t have them in my house...

I was going to make that topic a thread...what trigger food we cannot keep in our house for fear of eating it all immediately...that used to be PB for me but now that I cannot eat peanut butter (makes me sick) it is no longer a trigger food for me.

I love Hershey's kisses. Yummmm.

Thank you @missy Now I want Hershey kisses at 6:45 am...

 

[Missy]

Thank you @missy Now I want Hershey kisses at 6:45 am...

Haha sorry. If it makes you feel any better I ate lots of chocolate this morning at around 4/5AM. #sorry/notsorry

ETA: the good thing about this (if one considers this a good thing) I am gaining weight. Now just hoping I don't go overboard...and let's face it gaining weight by eating chocolate and ice cream isn't desirable but LOL I have a doctor appt next week and he is going to make me get on the scale so every lb counts woohoo. And uh oh...

 

[Missy]

This used to be my favorite impulse food...can you guess what this is?

 

[MamaBee]

@missy At first I thought it was peanut butter bars but it’s too light..What is it? I want some!

 

[Niffler75]

@missy Is it caramel shortbread?

 

[Missy]

@missy At first I thought it was peanut butter bars but it’s too light..What is it? I want some!

It is! The famous (in my family) peanut butter chocolate frozen brownies Greg and my sister used to make for me. They are so freaking yummy. I wish I could still have them. Gluten and dairy and peanut butter free just wouldn't be the same. I mean, that's taking all the delicious ingredients out.

 

[Missy]

Oh I don't even know what that tastes like but darn now I want some haha.
I am a shortbread fan!

 

[Niffler75]

Ok so my impulse foods

Savoury: Doritos tortilla chips, specifically the habanero chilli and guacamole mixed bags. Hot

Sweet: I love peanut butter cookies and icecream. It's the whole salty sweet crunchy thing that hits the spot.

Healthy: Really into overnight oats currently. My fave is mango and chia seed. Yum! Also fills me up and stops me snacking on peanut butter cookies.

 

[dk168]

Anything pan-fried with chilli Mayo with toasted sesame oil and seeds, such as:

Thinly cut Spam
Hot dog sausages
Sliced garlic sausage

When I am ill, I opt for cream of chicken soup with added chilli oil, toasted sesame oil and seeds.

When I need comfort food, I opt of savoury rather than sweet ones. I usually have a tin each of Spam, hot dog sausages and condensed cream of chicken soup in the house in case I need comfort food for whatever reason(s).

Potato chips = crack

I can’t even have them in the house or I will justify eating them for meals.

Same! What a combo. Delish for sure.

I hear you and same for me. It's truly impossible to eat *just* one or two or half a bag. Within minutes the bag will be gone if I had access to them here. Sad but true.

Yep, it's just open the hatch and tip them in! But then you may feel a bit if you overdo it!

I once had a recipe for chocolate dipped potato chip cookies. I never made them because I feared that I would never eat anything else. I know the devil wrote that recipe.

 

[dk168]

How about chocolate covered potato chips?

Imagine drizzling melted Nutella over potato chips, a mix of sweet and savoury, nice!

Ooooh emmmm geeeeee! I am dying here. That sounds out of this world crazy delicious. OMG

Googled it and there are a few versions. All of them look scrumptious.

Not a Nutella fan but let's face it. If we drizzle almost anything we love over potato chips it's gonna taste decadent. LOL I mean that's love right? Feeding our loved ones food they enjoy. At least that's how we grew up. Food=love. Italians and Jews are similar that way and many other cultures I suspect as well.
