TWIS = This Week Is Sweet

Okay---who hasn’t had a Stacy’s Pita Chips attack? I have to hide bags from my husband, who thinks a well-balanced lunch is a bag of Stacy’s Parmesan chips and a jar of Newman’s pineapple salsa. So when I found a bag of Stacy’s “ Simply Gingerbread” pita chips at The Fresh Market, I lunged for the bag, elbowed my way through checkout, ran out to my car and lowered my body down in the seat out of sight while I stuffed those sweet gingery crisps in my mouth. This is the one, folks: the snack food that makes you do backflips and want to hoard them in your pajama drawer for late-night snacking. It is spicy and sugary, with cinnamon and ginger on a collision course of goodness.

Caution: Stacy’s gingerbread pita chips are only around for the holidays. I am thinking of crumbling them on top of pumpkin ice cream (from McClain’s Homemade Ice Cream, while that lasts too) for a holiday dessert.

Now I beg the question: What is your favorite seasonal snack?
