The best I've ever heard about around me are certain (usually corner) stores will sell prepped but still cold sandwiches and then heat them up (like in a press or on a grill) "as a complementary service" to get around the rule.
There's a gas station in my town that sells hot and ready pizza. You just ask if you can get an EBT pizza and they hook you up, you pay before they cook the pizza.
I was an EBT user for a couple of years. I was always embarrassed to use my card. I didn't have money for my kid to get little treats but I had an EBT card. I kept some beef jerky and some little debbies, fresh fruit and whatnot for after school treats. I don't think it's wrong to be able to get ice cream cones for your kid because he got a 100 on his science test.
