I can never go on diet…because of Yan Yan…I blame my sugar addiction to Yan Yan…

Crazy name for a popular Japanese snack that has been my ‘muse’ for years. Wait…can snacks be a ‘muse’? At only 99 cents (price various) there is something to be said for the buttery biscuit sticks. Meiji made the snack years ago. Yep, that Meiji—the Japanese snack powerhouse. I dream about being Yan Yan’s spokesperson (it’s on my list of things to achieve before my death). It’s a simple concept…one side of the snack has cracker sticks and the other comes in various flavors—chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and yogurt frosting.

The actual fun part is the process of dipping the sticks into the chocolate frosting and EATING it. I can finish the entire serving in less than 5 minutes! It’s just sweet enough to curb my snack addiction…I call it my drug.
