The madness continues! Today's Hanukkah gift is another $100 gift certificate to the bookstore of your choice! That ought to buy enough books to last you about a week, right? Maybe 10 days?
Just leave a comment with a link or recipe for your favorite snack to eat while you're reading.
My favorite cookie: Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies, one of the “Best of” from Martha Stewart Living Magazine. A bit more labor intensive than other cookie recipes, but I make them every year as a gift for Hubby, at his request. They are amazing with milk or tea, and a book to read. I cannot wait to find out your favorite snack while reading! Share share!

I have many favorites, but right now I’m munching on these: http://www.verybestbaking.com/…
Coffee is my reading snack. Cold or hot, coffee and a book are my One True Pairing.
My favorite snacks for eating while doing anything this time of year (definitely including reading!) are these amazing vegan gingerbread cookies. I’m not vegan myself, but I’ve never found a yummier gingerbread recipe. I substitute maple syrup for molasses and sunflower oil for canola oil. SO GOOD.
I am such a bad snacker….I love dark chocolate covered pretzels or white cheddar corn puffs. If only I loved raw veggies or fruit!
Burnt popcorn. Overcook the popcorn on the stove. Yummy.
I just discovered chocolate covered cranberries and YUM! Give me a bowl of them with a good book and I’m in heaven!
Lately I’ve been into something called charnel corn—cheddar popcorn coated in caramel. So, soooooo good—but so bad for my waistline. The gym is beckoning…
Martha Washington Balls here’s a link except don’t melt the butter use it soft…http://southernfood.about.com/od/cand…
As I am 6 months pregnant right now, it is really anything in arms reach 🙂 but generally it is earl grey and shortbread cookies. I used to have a recipies for tea shortbread but i have lost it, if I can find it I will post it later.
Snickerdoodles! Yum! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/s…
An icy cold beer and sea-salt-and-cracked-pepper potato chips. At the end of the day, with a good book … nirvana!
I love Terra’s Sweet Potato Chips. Yum.
My favorite:

Iced green tea and almonds, if I’m feeling like I don’t need more guilt. Dark chocolate in any form if I need some comfort eating.
I am not much of a snacker but do so enjoy an adult beverage in the evening while reading – makes bad dialogue almost sound good!
Edamame!

One of my favs is a special one of my mothers Simple and easy to make, 2 ritz crackers with peanut butter spead between them. Dip in chocolate almond bark that has been melted in a double boiler, dry on wax paper and enjoy!
Favorite snack would be potato chips, especially sour cream and onion chips. My favorite dessert this season, which I wouldn’t eat while reading, because it is so messy, is ritz crackers with peanut butter in between, and then dipped in chocolate almond bark. Incredibly yummy!
Let’s my favorite food to eat when I’m reading is probably beer. 2nd place, anything without a fork.
my classic comfort snack food is pretzels and potato chips plus sour cream/onion dip.
I try not to snack during reading because then I would snack half the day. 😉 But at the moment I love my Christmas cookies with lots of spices like cinnamon and cloves.

Pumpkin brownies. Love them.
Russian Tea for me, please. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/R…
I have yet to get the recipe out of my aunt, but she makes these delicious, chewy molasses-ginger cookies that I can’t get enough of. They’re my favorite cookie, favorite snack, and whenever she makes them (not nearly often enough) I take a few to munch while reading.
One of my favorite snacks is cheese and crackers. I just adore cheese, and my favorite kind is Cabot extra sharp cheddar cheese. I am addicted to it. With crackers, with bread, with apples, by itself – magnifique!
Sweet Crispix Mix (aka The Mix, for it needs no adjectives). Aww yeah! http://www.food.com/recipe/swe…
Snickerdoodles! The name alone is awesome, but they’re also waayyyy too easy to eat. Here’s my fav recipe from Betty Crocker- http://www.bettycrocker.com/re…
My favorite snack is Clementine oranges (Cuties). I peel and section them ahead of time, so they’re mess-free to eat while reading.
I like to make these cookies for when I get into a reading mood – Thumbprint cookies:
2 cups of Flour, sifted
2/3 cup of Sugar
2 sticks of butter
1 teaspoon of extract that you want: I usually use almond or vanilla.
You cream the butter and the sugar together then add the extract, mixing until well-blended. Then you add the flour, mixing until it is a soft dough. Refrigerate for 2 hrs minimum (enough time to read one ebook!) Then you set your over to 350 degrees and shape the dough into little balls. Press the middle with your index finger and add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of whatever jam you like. I usually use apricot, orange marmalade, strawberry but I’ve even used ginger or boysenberry jam. Bake 8-10 mins. If you want to dress them up, you can make a glaze with confectioner’s sugar and extract (1 cup confectioner’s sugar to 2 tbsp water & 1 tbsp extract.)
This recipe gives you 30-48 cookies depending on how big you make them.
A box of assorted chocolate (preferably dark chocolate).
I love eating Lindor chocolates while eating. Nothing can beat that.
Warm chocolate chip cookies!
I am a chocoholic so these came out pretty good. German Chocolate Fudge
