What I stash for emergency if I need to get a little crazy with snacks.!!!
HEY…Maybe not perfect …carb/sugar, but it’s better than going way off the rails!..
I have Dove dark chocolate, peanuts, & almonds… it will satisfy me without the need to go get a decadent chocolate eclair! And if the emergency is such that I don’t have time to create a fat bomb etc.
Also a good cup of pepermint hot Cocoa, which is cream, stevia, unsweetened Cocoa powder & pepermint tea!

These are my downfall. I will NOT buy another bag!

Great question! Thanks for the thread.

For me, almonds or cream cheese.

I also keep Demerara rum on hand, even though I’m not a drinker. Just a few drops or a spoonful in a cup of coffee, or in unsweetened or stevia-sweetened cocoa, is a real treat. (Jameson’s is also good.)

Love that!
Nice toddy for winter.
It’s just taking off the edge somtimes you know?

#5

It’s funny because I passed these up at the grocery store today almost buying them, however if a chocolate has an almond in it, I have to eat more than one. That’s why I go for the little dark chocolate squares. Have you tried those?

Not stashed at home, but when I go out for a bunless burger: sweet potato fries!

#7

I have tried just the plain dark. I like the little crunchy almond pieces a lot better tho. Plus the bag is purple :joy:

Guittard dark chocolate chips.
Cool whip and sugar free jello.

#9

I love Cool Whip. It’s not terrible, only 2 carbs in a tablespoon. But who the hell can only eat one tablespoon of Cool Whip??!!!

It’s kind of like the people who say a quarter cup of ice cream won’t hurt you. Ever see one-quarter cup of ice cream? C’mon people. Let’s get real. A full pint of ice cream would just get me started.

#10

Back in the day I ate cool whip frozen. Yum!

#11

Mostly its just raw or salted pecans and different varieties of real cheese.

Sometimes I add melted Swerve brown sugar, butter and almond/vanilla extracts to the pecans.

#12

Yeah, I’m on to the jello thing!
I also somtimes mix plain yogert w/ crystal lite lemonade, taste like a lemon desert!

I keep bakers chocolate (100% chocolate) and sprinkle splenda on top but it’s not a stash for emergencies, unless every night 7 pm is an emergency. :grin:
