Snacking is one of America's favorite pastimes and has led to some pretty inventive and unique treats, like flavor-packed chips with the crispiest crunch, delicacies you can only find in certain regions of the U.S. or even staples that have grown in popularity so much that they have become mainstays in pantries around the country. Whether you're craving something sweet, salty or savory, there is a quick treat out there that is perfect for everyone.
Reader's Digest "searched high and low" for the top snacks around the country, compiling a list of the best in each state that "includes state foods, local eats and more" to offer an impressive variety from fried pork skins in Alabama and smoked salmon spread in Alaska to "slippery dumplings" in Delaware and crab fries in Maryland. So what is it for Ohio?
The best snack in the Buckeye State, according to the list, is (no surprise here) buckeye candies, a salty and sweet treat that look just like their namesake nut from the buckeye tree. Here's what the site had to say about Ohio's favorite snack:
"This hand-rolled ball of peanut butter and chocolate is at every holiday gathering, church potluck or tailgate, says Taste of Home Community Cook Kristyne McDougle Walter. Leaving a small portion of the peanut butter balls uncoated when you dip them in smooth chocolate makes them resemble their namesake nut all the more."
