    28 Things For Anyone Who Just Really Loves To Snack, OK

    Most situations can be improved by a little snack.

    1. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt if you've been chasing that dream of recreating movie theater popcorn while you're holed up, watching scary movies. Well, dreams do come true because this stuff IS life changing and I can personally vouch.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    I invested in one of these delicious cartons after reading my colleague Emma Lord rave about it. It's super salty, super buttery, and like, probably something you shouldn't eat every day. But boy is it a total TREAT. 

    Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.45.

    2. A little snack dispenser you can load up with smaller-scale stuff (think, trail mix, nuts, M&Ms, Goldfish, etc.) to provide the perfect amount to toss in your mouth without getting your fingers and hands all grubby. This is especially great if you're gaming or working while snacking.

    Promising review: "It arrives already assembled. I chose to add peanut M&Ms. To add snacks, just remove lid by twisting off. To release snacks, push down on latch. Easy to use and clean. I just have to be careful that when I release the candy into my mouth I go slowly so I don’t get a lot of M&Ms at once." —Marlene T. 

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors). 

    3. A set of "double dipper" snack serving bowls because your palate has RANGE. And sometimes that range makes you want cheese cubes and grapes at the same time. Truly groundbreaking. It's also great for dipping!

    These are also dishwasher- and microwave-safe! 

    Jarratt Industries is an Arkansas-based small business established in 2008 that specializes in unique home, kitchen, and outdoor products. 

    Promising review: "Bought these bowls for our RV but loved them so much we have some for our house too. Great for dipping. We love chicken wings ,we'll put ranch in one side and buffalo in the other. Seafood, tarter in one side, cocktail in the other. Ketchup and mustard for corn dogs. The list goes on and on!" —Keith Earl

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $14.85 (also available in a set of six). 

    4. And if you're REALLY into dipping (hello, queso), a box of slow-cooker liners that'll make whipping up (and cleaning up) your current nosh ridiculously easy. Just toss the liner when you're finished. (I've used this about a dozen times and love it.)

    I adore my slow cooker but hate cleaning up after using it. So I use these handy lil' bags. Read my full review of Reynolds Kitchens Premium Slow Cooker Liners.

    Get a box of six from Amazon for $3.48.

    5. Pipcorn heirloom cheese balls may just become a movie night essential once you bite into these crunchy, nonGMO snacks in a variety of flavors. Oh yeah, you may have heard of these from Shark Tank.

    Amazon

    Pipcorn Heirloom Snacks is a Black-, family-, and woman-owned biz created in 2012 by Jen (sister), Jeff (brother), and Teresa (Jim's wife) who were inspired by some heirloom popcorn kernels that popped up into just about the best thing they'd ever tasted. The brand now has popcorn and delicious snacks made of said heirloom corn (yep, they went to the same supplier!) in a range of flavors. They're all nonGMO and gluten-free!

    Promising review: "Love the light and puff and airy taste and the lower sodium. YUMM." —Julie Thomson

    Get a six-pack from Pipcorn Heirloom Snacks on Amazon for $32.99 (available in many more varieties).

    6. A handheld heated bag sealer for any snack fiends who've felt the disappointment of coming back to a bag of chips only to find out they're not so crisp. This sealer will make sure snacks are ready for you to polish off later. 

    It also comes with a small bag cutter at the bottom for easy access when it comes time to reopen!

    Promising review: "Convenient. One of those 'TikTok made me buy it' decisions. LOL. I love it!" —Dayreona Irvin

    Get it from Amazon for $11.89 (available in four colors).

    7. A five-compartment snack spinner (that's dishwasher-safe!) will lure everyone into partaking in snack time. Reviewers say it's also great on the go.

    Promising review: "I bought these before they were on Amazon. I’m obsessed. My kids think it’s a game, and they’re so intent on eating all the food inside. Even my picky eater. As a mom who absolutely hates to hand wash things, I’m so grateful that a) the entire thing comes apart for washing, and b) it’s completely dishwasher-safe. This thing is awesome. One of a kind. I own five right now. Will probably be getting more in the future for when the baby is old enough to snack independently." —Jordan Christman

    Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in three colors).

    8. A pound of cereal marshmallows so you don't have to pick out all the marshmallows out of your shared boxes of Lucky Charms. Sigh.

    Reviewer holding the one-pound bag

    9. condiment fork with a holder that wraps right around your beloved jar of pickles or olives so you can easily grab a morsel when you want it without making a racket searching for a fork in the silverware drawer at 3 a.m.

    Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99

    10. Plus a pickle keeper and juice strainer that looks like an hourglass so you'll keep those pickles in their delish brine when you're not ready to snack, then tip it over when it's time to snack so you can don't have to chase a pickle chip around in the juice.

    Check out a TikTok of the pickle juice strainer in action. 

    Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (also available with an included tong). 

    11. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey because you DID save that leftover pizza for lunch tomorrow but idk man, it's sounding pretty good after that super stressful team meeting. And it'll be even better with this hot honey on top (one of my fave leftover moves).

    I've used this stuff and it is FANTASTIC. Just don't let them pour it in their morning tea! It's not that kind of honey.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.49.

    12. sandwich cutter and sealer that'll help you DIY your own Uncrustables at home because those lil' sandwiches are delicious, but they do add up cost-wise very quickly. Plus, IMO, they're the perfect afternoon pick-me-up for WFH adults.

    Promising review: "I had to try this because I saw it on TikTok, and I spend way too much on Uncrustables for my picky kids! And my kids (ages 3 and 6) love the different shapes they can choose from." —Rachel

    Get it from Amazon for $15.96

    13. double-dipping clip to keep your fast food sauces upright instead of tipping over onto your car seats in a sad, sad mess. Because we all know a REAL luxury is just stopping by the McD's drive-thru for some stellar Diet Coke and fries to dip in some barbecue sauce. Yes it's a snack. And yes I know how to live.

    Promising review: "Bought this for my brother for Christmas, it was a hit! He's often on the road traveling and has shared funny stories of how he gets sauce on his fast food while in the car. He loved it, works great, thank you! :)" —Amanda Nill

    Get it from 3DPrintedByBrian on Etsy for $5+ (available in single or double).

    14. A set of in-drawer organizers so you can easily grab a sandwich bag with one hand while your other hand is, well, holding a bunch of Goldfish you're throwing in your backpack!

    Promising review: "Toddler snack must-have. I absolutely love these molds. The silicone is good quality because peels off the pops easily, and I use them quite often. They are pretty durable. Both my toddler and preschooler love them, although the pop portion size is generous for my younger. The bone holders are hilarious, and the yogurt we use looks exactly dino-like as expected after it's frozen. These work great and are really fun shapes, so I highly recommend." —TXFan

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99.

    16. Or a light saber ice pop holder in case you wanna get to snacking even quicker. It'll keep your paws from freezing while you're trying to to enjoy your fave frozen treat.

    Promising review: "My boyfriend and I are avid cozy users for beer and all cold canned beverages so you can imagine how thrilled we were to find this! No more using paper towels to wrap up our pints with, this worked perfect. Kept our ice cream cold and condensation outside the pint contained. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.95 (also available in more colors).

    18. microwave rapid cake maker will help you whip up a cake in six minutes with half of a box of cake mix and the listed ingredients. Because sometimes one mere mug cake isn't enough. (I say this from experience.)

    Promising review: "I love this cake maker! It makes just the right size cake for our family of four. They’re not exactly like a cake fresh from the oven, but pretty darn close! My 12-year-old son loves to use it, so much so we make a cake on a weekly basis. Since each cake only requires a half a box of mix, we don’t have to store them for long. I think they taste much better than a mug cake and are almost as easy." —Clare

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    19. Cornbread 26 Food Co.'s Cornbread Madeleine for the ultimate treat with your morning coffee, as a midday snack, or on a side of wine. Really just eat them how you want. And there are so many variations!

    21. An 8-pack of SmartSweets will be welcome treats for anyone who's trying to intake less sugar but still wants a sweet treat.

    Amazon

    I've tried a variety of these candies and love them! I don't have any medical conditions that require that I eat less sugar, but my dad does. So I've tried them out in hopes of finding something that he'd like — and he does like them! Now, they won't be as sweet as "regular" candy but they're good and satisfying if you know that going into it. 

    Promising review: "Great deal and lots of flavors you can't find in the stores routinely! These are so good. Buy these if you are trying to cut out sugar and candy." —Todd

    Get them from Amazon for $24.98.

    22. An automatic bread maker can help you whip up some breads, cakes, and jams that might just be the perfect vehicle for using up that gourmet jam in your fridge that's calling your name at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday.
