re: What are favorite snacks Grandparents gave you as a kid?

Grandma had a recipe she called hershey cookies, delicious with milk

And a sip of his Schlitz when nobody else was looking.

My grandmother was a great cook. Always had chocolate mousse in her fridge. For breakfast it was always orange zest crepes rolled up with split vanilla bean sugar. I could eat 15 of those things.

I wouldn’t call it a favorite but my dad’s aunt always had these when we visited and weird tasting orange juice

My mom was a health nut when my sister and I were growing up, but when we went to grandma and grandpa's house, we'd tear into the Little Debbie's like we were heroine junkies. We got our asses chewed once when my mom found a bunch of empty plastic wrappers behind the guest bed.... like three boxes worth.

One set of grandparents always had Werther's. The other always had those sesame sticks.

Danish butter cookies

Not a snack, and not my favorite, but my grandmother (Dad's mom) always had gum. It was usually Juicy Fruit, which I hate now. As a kid, I would ask for gum and she always took one piece out, tore it in half, pulled back the paper where her fingers weren't touching the gum, and handed it to me. I would grab the gum and she'd put the paper in the trash or in her purse if we were out. It was always a half stick and it always played out exactly like this.

Strange the things we remember.

Bryers ice cream
Vanilla pinwheel looking cookies with the hole in the middle

Peanut butter and jelly on graham crackers and homemade sugar cookies.
