There's a lot going on right now, and self-care is critical. We're at home, trying to take in the news, stay connected to our loved ones, and find something to smile about every day. One of the bright spots of my day right now is snack time. It's true. I look forward to my snacks, and with constant access to my kitchen, I find myself snacking more than ever. During this time at home, I've found myself gravitating towards foods I don't regularly eat, and I was curious about the snacking habits of the rest of our editors, so I asked them. These are the 19 comfort snacks our team has been obsessed with recently.
Whether you've got a serious sweet tooth (ahem, me) or prefer something salty, these snacks will make you smile, and might inspire your next online order. There are some mouth-watering nostalgic faves that have definitely swayed me. Keep reading to shop our picks.
SkinnyPop Popped Popcorn Variety
"I've never really been a big popcorn person until now. I wanted to feel less bad about eating it daily, so I decided to get the SkinnyPop Popped Popcorn Variety ($20 for 40) and it's actually incredibly good. I bought a variety pack that has both the original flavour and a white cheddar flavour (my new fave) and it's the perfect size and portion to grab before I watch a show at night." — Krista Jones, associate editor, Shop
Biena Chickpea Snacks, Honey Roasted
"I'm always craving sweets but trying to stay away from candy while working from home (and surrounded by it). These Biena Chickpea Snacks, Honey Roasted ($17) have become my go to after lunch snack as a treat and the best part is there are "free" of all the things for those who are on some dietary program." — Lisa Sugar, President, POPSUGAR
Haribo Sour Cherries
"Okay, hear me out. I'm a major sucker for any sour candy but something about these Haribo Sour Cherries ($18) satisfies my sweet tooth every time. I can't ever find them in-stores, so I ordered a tub from Amazon and it's a total lifesaver during a long day." — Karenna Meredith, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features
Undercover Chocolate Crispy Quinoa Snack
"I'm gluten free, so finding snacks can be difficult since I don't have my childhood faves to fall back on anymore. I recently found these Undercover Chocolate Crispy Quinoa Snacks ($32 for 8), and I could eat an entire bag if I'm not careful! Since they have quinoa in them, it feels kind of healthy while still being totally delicious. I'm obsessed." — Madeleine Fournier, Social Media Coordinator
Goya Maria Cookies
"Goya Maria Cookies ($13 for 6) were a staple in my childhood, but I hadn't had them in probably 10 years. On a whim, we added a pack to our weekly grocery haul and let's just say they're back to staple status. They subtly sweet, and large enough that grabbing 1 or 2 satisfies me as a snack. They're also super versatile as a base for ice cream, used in a tiramisu, or just dipped in milk for a light dessert." — Charisandra Perez, Social and Partnership Coordinator
SmartSweets Peach Rings
"My whole family is obsessed with all the flavours of SmartSweets, but the SmartSweets Peach Rings ($36 for 12) are what I reach for every day at 3 pm. They're perfectly tangy and chewy, and I can't get enough of them." — India Yaffe, assistant editor, Shop
Dot's Homestyle Pretzels
"These Dot's Homestyle Pretzels ($17) must be sprinkled with some sort of magic, because I can't stop eating them! The seasoning is so flavourful — like buttery, sweet, and spicy all rolled up into one, I love them so much I even sent some bags to my friends so they could get in on the action too." — Macy Cate Williams, editor, Shop and Must Have
GoMacro MacroBar Organic Vegan Protein Bars
"I like to grab a GoMacro MacroBar Organic Vegan Protein Bars ($30) in between meals, when I'm looking for something a little more substantial than chips or popcorn, but I'm not in the mood to food prep. Peanut butter chocolate chip is my go-to flavour, but I'm also a fan of Sunflower Butter and Chocolate, and Coconut, Almond Butter, Chocolate Chip — notice a trend?" — Karenna Meredith, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features
Element Rice Cakes
"These Element Rice Cakes ($30) hit the spot every time! They are light and large enough to not need to eat the entire package inone sitting. In fact, one wafer is more than enough to give me the chocolate fix I am craving. It's the perfect dessert." — Lisa Sugar, President, POPSUGAR
Simple Mills Almond Cracker Variety Pack
"I will polish off a box of these Simple Mills Almond Cracker Variety Pack ($15) in one sitting if I don't watch myself. As someone who can't eat gluten, these are my favourite grain-free crackers. They're salty and crunchy and they come in so many flavours that make it super easy to forget they aren't made with regular flour. I usually snack on these by themselves, but they also pair really well with cheese, guacamole, and even soup!" — Chanel Vargas, editorial assistant, Trending and Viral Features
Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels
"I'm so into these Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels ($9), I have to set limits on how many I'm allowed to eat per day. The combination of salty pretzel and slightly sweet peanut butter always keeps me going back for more." — Annalise Mantz, Native Living Editor
Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix
"I ordered this Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix ($34 for 12) on Amazon on a whim and I am absolutely obsessed with it. I find myself making a hot chocolate three times a week. Now that the whether is getting hotter, I add a bit of the mix into my daily iced coffee and it is AMAZING!" — Zara Patel, Operations Support Associate
Honey Maid Honey Graham Crackers
"I haven't had Honey Maid Honey Graham Crackers ($33 for 12) since I was a kid, but in late March a box miraculously showed up on our doorstep. They're a childhood favourite of my dad's, and just seeing them in the pantry gives me a sense of calm. We even had a s'mores night over the weekend, and I have a feeling we'll need to order more soon." — India Yaffe, assistant editor, Shop
Flipz Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels
"I'm not sure why I've become obsessed with the Flipz Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels ($30 for 6) but here I am. They're both salty and sweet which makes for the perfect quarantine snack. They're also super crunchy and easy to continue snacking on. I also really like Bark Thins ($17 for 4) which are essentially the "fancy" version of Flipz." — Grayson Gilcrease, assistant editor, Celebrity and Entertainment
Hippeas Vegan White Cheddar Organic Chickpea Puffs
"I could eat bags upon bags of these Hippeas Vegan White Cheddar Organic Chickpea Puffs ($3) (and sometimes I do). I'm obssessed with all foods of the white cheddar variety so this flavour is my go-to. It doesn't matter if I'm mid-work day or sitting down for a movie night, I can usually be found with a bag of these close by." — Jessica Harrington, associate editor, Beauty
Lillabee Brownie Thins Variety Pack
"I recently ordered these Lillabee Brownie Thins Variety Pack ($18) and I can't get enough of them. They're thin and chocolatey and pair perfectly with a hot cup of tea. They're also sweetened with maple syrup, so they're delicious." — Chanel Vargas, editorial assistant, Trending and Viral Features
Nature Valley Crispy Creamy Wafer Bars
"I recently tried these Nature Valley Crispy Creamy Wafer Bars ($24) for the first time and immedietly bought more boxes. They remind me of Little Debbies Nutty Bars but a "healthier." They're so good! I enjoy them as an afternoon pick me up." — Lisa Sugar, President, POPSUGAR
Pringles Potato Crisps Chips
"I think many of us are subconciously reaching for childhood faves, and after a 20-year hiatus I'm once again a Pringles Potato Crisps Chips ($7) eater. Sour Cream and Chive, Cheddar, BBQ — when I crave something salty I just pop a little stack out of the can. Go for the variety pack." — Joanna Douglas, Head of Native Content
Cheez-It Original Baked Snack Crackers
"Cheez-It Original Baked Snack Crackers ($3) have always been my favourite aeroplane snack food, so maybe I'm missing the ironic comfort of economy seating right now whenever I eat one of these tiny orange squares? I can't explain the psycology behind my recent decision to suddenly stock my pantry with the snack, but I know that I love them and easily go through a box a week." — Samantha Sasso, associate native beauty editor
