hee hee, I am on a life time "diet", but today, I got a small bag of coffee M&Ms!

It is a small bag. I didn't share!
so do you sneak a snack? what is it?
 
OMG, I loooooove those coffee peanut M&Ms. Michael brought home a big bag the other day. I can resist M&Ms but he insisted I try these. Ate so many I got sick. He went back to the store and bought the last 4 bags! I'm trying to only eat a few at a time now, lol. I didn't care for the Honey ones. They tasted good but had a weird aftertaste. I can't drink coffee anymore (tummy hates it now) and I miss it. I love anything and everything coffee flavored.
I don't sneak snacks anymore. I used to when the kids were younger and lived here. I can usually resist most bad-for-me things unless a specific craving hits, then move out of the way b/c I'm eating whatever it is. Luckily that doesn't happen often. Now if I could just eat smaller portions of the good-for-me foods that I eat too many of...
 
There is a bag of Halloween candy hidden behind a stack of sweatshirts in my closet. It's so well hidden that I forget about it lol. Sometimes I'll put a few pieces on the top shelf of our pantry; I'll grab a piece and eat it in the laundry room. No one but me goes in there.
 
Lately weirdly Rice Krispie Bars. My weakness and treat is Pepsi right now but that's going away. I've lost interest in so much chocolate -- occasionally but that's all. Has to be a God-thing cuz I was a chocoholic.
 
I'm also trying to lose weight so I don't have anything hidden..... that being said I was a bad girl today and got a chocolate covered ice cream cone from McD's today. :drool
 
I'm not usually hiding things to eat :giggle Occasionally when there is candy, I might have an extra piece when they go to bed. Usually, I want us all to try things out or I buy enough for us all.... like a box of donuts this weekend! The store had my FAVORITE kind, so... we all picked out a couple of the ones we liked.

I really really want to try out the spicy M&M's!

You realize that you can have both things? You can have share a treat with the family AND have some set aside for yourself. That's what I do. :angel

And the spicy M&Ms aren't bad. The kids thought they were too spicy but I didn't mind them. The honey were weird and the coffee were good. I'm not a huge M&M fan, though, so I'm probably not the best judge. The kids loved the coffee (I bought all 3 to let us do a taste test; I kept half of each bag for myself because... why not?).

I do realize that :giggle.... but my diet is better if I share what we have or if I get enough. Most of the time, we share what we have... which tends to leave me eating better. Plus, I'm better off not being sneaky, lol! My face usually give it all away!
 
I like coffee but can't get my mind around coffee m&ms. I did have some coconut ones last year that were wonderful. If I snack, I tend to go for salty stuff.
 
coffee M&Ms?! I must go find some.
there's not much i really hide... but like Jenn, it's far better if I get enough to share than to sneak it.

Oh. ETA.
I do sneak sometimes WHEN I get it. for example... i don't share with anyone that I grab treats when I drive in to the office. They assume I stop for a drink, which I do, but I don't tell them that I also grabbed a treat. usually a candy bar. But that's a good reason for me not to go to the office often. :giggle
 
A Snickers bar. I'm not supposed to have them (I "can't" eat anything in them... sigh) but they are my guilty, I-need-something-sweet-NOW treat. I don't have them very often, but they are just dreamy.

The one thing that I have been craving, though, are the gluten-, soy- and nut-free donuts that I buy in Burlington, VT whenever I visit there. They are darned expensive ($2.50 each), but they taste just like the "real" thing. And when you haven't had a "real" donut in almost 4 years, well, they're worth every penny.
 
Sneak??? Who sneaks??? Not me!!!! I live on my own now, no one to answer to and my "treat" bowl sits right out on the counter filled to the brim with Little Debbies, candy, etc!! BRING IT ON!!!! YUM YUM!!!!
 
I've never seen coffee m&ms. I guess they don't have them in Canada. If they did, all bets would be off...
 
Coffee M and M's look so good - we don't tend to get all the varieties here, hopefully they make an exception with those...

Maltesers are my go to sneak snack atm, nice and light and chocolatey - if I can hide them from the hoardes who are getting better at discovering any stashes I have.
 
Must go shopping for coffee M&Ms. Dark chocolate is my sneak - and mixed nuts, although we all enjoy those.
 
I searched for the spicy M&M's today... no luck. I will have to continue my quest!!
 
our town is sold out of coffee m&ms! my waistline thanks all my fellow desert dwellers who are scarfing them! lol, I am gonna get skinny whilst they get wider! bhahhahah

They are trying the coffee nut, chilli nut, and honey nut flavors and people vote on their favorite. The winner will be the newest M&M flavor. I found all 3 at my local dollar store. :) Hopefully the winner will be available in Canada!

BTW, after all this talk about sneaky treats, I ate some fun-size 3 Musketeers and Snickers bites today lol! They were GLORIOUS!
