Are you the type of person that grabs a little of this or that throughout the day to stave off those hunger pangs? We promise not to tell if you're the type to tiptoe out to the kitchen at one in the morning to raid the pantry. Maybe you like sitting down to a movie on a Saturday night with a bevy of treats to go to town on. Maybe you're throwing the biggest party on the block and need spicy Halloween snacks to scare, er, we mean WOW your neighbors.
However you munch, we have some killer suggestions to help you curb your cravings and satiate the snack monster when it rears it's delicious head!
Miracle Corn
We love our simple, heart-healthy spice mix, Dr. Lynch's Miracle Powder and you will love how we use it in this super simple recipe! Just grab some popcorn kernels, heat up your fat of choice (we like a mix of olive oil and butter, but you do what you like), throw those kernels in and get everything heating up. We keep it easy and just add the Miracle Powder but some folks need a little salt. Get it all popped and enjoy a savory snack with a heat that slowly creeps up but never gets too spicy. Anyone can eat this one and everyone will adore it!
Mini Pizzas with a Kick
These little guys are quick to make and disappear even faster! We've had this recipe, featuring our Sultry Sauce, for a long time and it never disappoints. You'll need a few things like English muffins, cheese, and crushed tomatoes but that's nothing you can't sneak into the cart on the next grocery run. Whipping up the pizza sauce spiced with Sultry is simple and gives it that little extra zing.
Once assembled, they take mere minutes in the oven before they can be spread on a plate and consumed while watching your favorite Tarantino flick (or maybe Pearl Harbor? We don't judge but we DO think they probably taste better if you're watching something... well... good.). Just the right amount of savory, just the right amount of bite, and, even better, endlessly alterable with your favorite toppings!

Get Dipped Out
You know you have chips of all varieties whenever snacking is about to commence but do you have something to dunk them in that isn't boring old onion dip? How about something that isn't going to pack on the pounds and isn't filled with cream and salt? We know, it sounds kind of lame and goes against all snacking regulations, but if it's tasty and ends up being good for you, what's the harm? You don't have to tell anyone!
Enter Lazy Man's Hummus! Half a bottle of Oh My Garlic™ or Smokey Horseradish Sauce and a drained can of chickpeas. Blend. Done.
Snacks should be quick to make, easy on the wallet, and tasty as hell. This one checks all those boxes and allows even those dieting to have a few extra bites. We make this one all the time and it's so simple you'll wonder why you didn't think of it first! You can even doctor this up with one of our hot sauces if you want a little heat or throw other stuff in like olives or peppers. Dipping nirvana has just been achieved!
