Did you watch the Emmys this weekend? An absolutely stunning vibe and such well-deserved wins. While watching the show, I suddenly thought, what would happen if there were an Emmy for snacks? And of course, which snack would win? I am very unbiased when it comes to snacks, since I can never choose one. So, here is a list of 10 of my all-time favorite snacks. Let me know which one you would vote for best.
Vegetable Fritters
Easy to make, customizable, and packed with nutrition, these fritters are my go-to snacks whenever I overstock the veggies. This snack also accomplished the impossible feat of getting my children to eat veggies and actually like them. Miracle, I know! Full Recipe: Vegetable Fritters
Strawberry Turnovers
Pastries make the best snacks. There, I said it! The buttery, flaky, crumbly pastries stuffed with sweet and tangy strawberry sauce make the best pastries in town. To make them even more perfect (if it’s still possible), drizzle some vanilla glaze before serving. Full Recipe: Strawberry Turnovers
Date Oatmeal Cookies
Sometimes, you gotta choose between random snacks and healthy food choices. With these date oatmeal cookies, you won’t have to choose anymore. The dates and oatmeal pack the essential nutrition into the cookies while giving them a sweet, chewy texture. Full Recipe: Date Oatmeal Cookies
Za’atar Pita Chips
A must-have for any snack platter is a bowl of chips to scoop up as much of the dips and salsas as possible. These za’atar pita chips can easily be made at home with some pita bread, za’atar seasoning, and 5-6 minutes of oven time. Easy peasy, and so delicious that you just can’t help munching on them.

One of the perks of making your own candy bar is that you can add anything to it. This recipe is an example of a chocolate candy bar made with tempered chocolate, walnuts, peanuts, and pretzels, and drizzled with caramel. The best thing? You can make a big batch and grab a piece at any random time of the day. Full Recipe: Chocolate Bark
Fig Biscotti with Walnuts
The crisp afternoon air, hinting at a not-so-distant fall season approaching, calls for a biscotti snack with some afternoon coffee. With a hint of earthy nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, these fig almond biscotti cookies are basically fall in a bar. Full Recipe: Fig Biscotti
Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Another variation of biscotti is to make them with chocolate and walnuts. These crumbly chocolate biscotti cookies are the perfect snack for these moments, giving a slight earthy flavor due to almonds. Full Recipe: Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Mini Brownies
My formula for the best brownies? The fudgier, the better. This is why these mini brownies are my all-time favorite; these are as fudgy as I like to make them, and I add fun little toppings over them to add a bit of color to the snack platter. Full Recipe: Mini Brownies
Halloumi Fries
Fries, but instead of using potatoes, this recipe uses cheese (more specifically, halloumi). Blocks of this salty, Mediterranean cheese are coated with seasoned breadcrumbs and popped into the oven instead of being fried over a stove for a cheesy, crumbly experience. Full Recipe: Halloumi Fries
Cheese Straws
Sharp cheddar laced with chilli flakes makes for a perfect spicy afternoon snack. The trick is to knead the shredded cheddar with flour, salt, and red pepper before cutting it into thin slices. The flour holds the cheese when you pop the sticks into the oven. Crisp and spicy; what else do you need? Full Recipe: Cheese Straws
