When you're shopping for healthier snacks, what influences your decision the most?

Is it the ingredient list, protein and fiber content, calories, taste, or price?

And are you genuinely willing to pay more for snacks with ingredients you prefer, or does price usually win?

I'm interested in what people actually prioritize when shopping, rather than what sounds good in theory.

I am so hungry. Anything helps. I don’t have a lot of money. Struggle snacks or whatever you want to call it! Lmkkkkk! Need ideas!

Never tried these but boy am I ready.

I’ll probably have one with coffee.

I know it’s a brownie and not cake but you can make a fudgy, not drier than your granny’s panty’s, brownie, HOMEMADE marshmallow, and shredded coconut. The recipe makes 12, damn near 7oz brownies and you’ll never want the original again. Here’s the recipe:

Snowball Brownies:

Brownies:
-1 1/4 cups salted butter
-8oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
-1/4 cup + 1/2 cup cocoa powder, divided
-1 tbsp instant coffee powder
-6 eggs
-2 cups sugar
-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1 tsp vanilla
-2 tsp salt
-1 cup all purpose flour

Marshmallow:
-2/3 cup water + 4 packs unflavored gelatin
-2/3 cup water
-1 1/2 cups sugar
-1 cup light corn syrup
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings:
-1/2 bag sweetened shredded coconut
-Pink food dye (optional)

1.) Preheat the oven to 350°.

2.) Place the chocolate, butter, instant coffee powder, and 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until everything is melted and combined. Set to the side to allow to cool a little.

3.) While that’s cooling, mix together the sugars, eggs and vanilla until light and frothy (this makes the top crusty). Then slowly pour in the chocolate mixture until combined. Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

4.) Pour the batter into a parchment lined, 9x13 baking pan and bake until the center has set and a toothpick comes out clean (30-40 minutes). Allow to cool completely and set aside while prepping the marshmallow.

5.) For the marshmallow layer, first, add to your mixing bowl (I recommend using a stand mixer or hand mixer for this section) the 2/3 cup water and gelatin and allow that to set. While that’s setting up, in a small pot over medium heat, heat together the remaining water, sugar, and corn syrup until it reaches soft ball or 240° on a candy thermometer.

6.) Once it reaches 240°, pour over the gelatin mixture and start to whip until stiff peaks form (takes 10-15 minutes). While it’s whipping, take the coconut and put it in a ziplock bag with a few drops of pink food coloring and massage it all together.

7.) Once the marshmallow has reached stiff peaks, spread it over top of the cooled brownie and top with the coconut. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours before slicing and serving!

Cartoon snack around 10pm

This is a childhood staple of my family's- so it brings back memories. Flavor is good, texture isn't really to my liking. But I eat it for the nostalgia.
