Crispy Cheese Jalapeño Bacon Bites

These are light years better than your average jalapeño popper, because they're stuffed with bacon bits and hot sauce before being deep fried. A few ounces of cream cheese (along with mozz and white cheddar) also ensure a gooey cheese pull with every bite.

Salted Caramel Popcorn

Stick your hand in a bowl of this and it'll be gone before the end of the first Bachelor in Paradise commercial break. I don't know what's in it (jk, I do, it's butter, sugar, and heavy cream), but it's addicting.

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

When I tell you I make these at least once a week...I'm so serious. They get so crispy that they taste deep fried, despite just baking in the oven. I douse 'em with a solid sprinkle of salt, as well as the Trader Joe's chile lime seasoning.

Cheese Crackers With Apples and Honey and Walnuts

I fondly remember the day my childhood best friend's mom introduced me to cheese and apple slices. It doesn't make sense, but the flavors go so well together. This recipe calls for the pairing on top of a cracker and topped with honey and walnuts. So many flavors, so little time.
