Lately, all I want to do is add to my collection of fruit cans. Del Monte fruit doesn't exactly taste like chocolate, unfortunately, but it keeps me stamping!

I'm the odd man out. I actually love stamping because I don't eat when I'm stamping. I hate the greasy fingerprints. I've also taking to keeping no sweets or junk food of any kind in the house handy, so even if I have a munchies attack it's just too much work to make something. When I'm involved in a big project I will go a whole day without eating, I just keep drinking diet soda or water or something because I do get really thirsty.
By the way, for those who spill drinks on cards....I bought the Sidekick from Creative Memories. Here's the link. It's the best thing ever and it's handy to have the little garbage bag right there.
I guess somebody should be the voice of resposibility and adulthood here, I'm not sure why it has to be me though!! How about grapes and carrot sticks and icky healthy stuff like that? They would be easy to eat, and not bad for you. My vote would be for m&m's personally, but...I felt like someone should throw it out there.
I was going to say grapes, too... much prefer the M&M's tho... They are just the perfect, "clean" snack for stamping! Mr. Mars could use SU for some advertising... hm?

OMG - saw this yesterday and went on a mission to find Turtle Chex Mix this morning! And voila!!! Got two bags about an hour ago and 1 of them is already half empty and my planned projects for today aren't even started.
I think I have found one more addiction that works well with my current addiction! :rolleyes:
Chocolate rice cakes? I don't eat them often, but they do have mini chocolate chips, they're crunchy, they're sure better than regular rice cakes, and they can't be as bad for you as m&m's.
Either that, or mini carrots. Yum.
(I mean, if you're going low-cal.)
Ohhhhhhh I have this problem. I want to snack and unfortunately its with unfriendly food such as Doritos, Ranch Dressing....lol. I've been trying to only keep baby carrots and those small bite size Snickers. :lol
Yeah, I know...but I figure the carrots cancel out the Snickers! ;)
I don't feel the need to eat while stamping, but when I'm on SCS, it's a whole different ballgame.... Sometimes if I feel like trying to be good, I'll eat handfuls and handfuls of Cheerios! They are just so good. Am I weird or what?
I love Tootsie Pops. I especially like the mini ones! You can have a constant flow of sweetness - hands-free! I really really love tootsie rolls, but I feel that the pops do better for me, I wouldn't get any stamping done because I would be spending all my time opening up all of the tootsie rolls to keep the constant flow going!
Another awful thing I found to snack on are the candy/chocolate coated sunflower seeds, Blossoms maybe? At first I didn't think they were very good, but then I got a process down eating them and starting eating way too many - I had to throw the bag away. First you suck the candy coating off, then the chocolate, then you split the seed in half (no shell but still like to split it..) then you eat the nut.. This actually takes a little while to do... I thought they would probably be pretty good for people trying to quit smoking, gives your mouth a workout!
Hey, try the mini caramel flavored rice cakes by Quaker, they really are awesome, don't get your hands messy and don't have tons of calories. The only bummer is, they don't contain chocolate. Just sip on coffee, eat one of these and think "Caramel Machiano, Caramel Machiano"!

I usually have what my husband refers to as the PMS mix close by... pretzels, m&m's and dry roasted peanuts. Covers that sweet/salty craving.

Help! I looked for the Turtle Chex mix and could not locate it. Could some one tell me if it is by the potato chip type snacks, the cereal, or the crackers? Thanks. (I really need this, BTW)
I will eat whatever is handy--usually dried fruit.
BUT--If you really want to have a CHOCOLATE (rich, decadent, fudgy, chewy, divine taste...) fix, try Brownie Bites. They meet all those qualifications I just listed, AND....they are lowfat, no trans fats, high fiber, and all natural. They come in Double Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Mint, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. And if you would like to have a similar item in a larger "bar"--try the Baker's Breakfast Cookies. Luscious flavors.
I manage a cafe/nutrition bar in a fitness center and these items go like hotcakes! They truly are great-tasting and healthful.

Oh geez! Now I've got to go to the store before I start stamping! My DH got a TV for my stamp room, now I just need some of that Turtle Chex mix! It sounds Divine!!!
