Chocolate covered pretzels. One time I got a ginormous 1.5 lb (~700 g) bag and accidentally ate almost the whole thing in one sitting—that’s 2000-3000 Calories, which is over my entire daily maintenance level. The simple combination of chocolate, salt, and crunch is irresistible to me, made even more dangerous by the fact that they’re not very filling and can be eaten quickly, so the satiation response doesn’t kick in until it’s too late.
I’m generally very susceptible to any shelf-stable salty snacks like that which you can eat without preparation, so I try not to buy them at all rather than trust my self-control. I’m better off with things like break-and-bake cookies where I can decide the portion size ahead of time and will not be tempted to wait another half hour to bake more.

good lord, the chocolate pretzels they have at australian costco are fucking unreal
i had to start portioning into a very small bowl, because if you’re going hand into the bag, you WILL go too far
