Snack and drink away.

1. Bananas and Peanut Butter – Malibu Rum

The combination of the sweet rum with the classic pb banana combo is def going to be a winner. The rum is similar to a drizzled honey on top of Elvis’ sandwich and is sure to be a great treat.

2. Sour Patch Kids – Vodka

Substitute your typical diet coke chaser with a couple sour patch kids – pound three down after a shot, or add a handful to the bottom of you drink to add some extra sweetness and help overpower vodka’s bitter taste.

3. Chips and Guac – Mike’s Hard Lemonade

A college version of avocado toast with lemon squeezed on top, the lemon flavor of the drink paired perfectly with some salty chips and spicy guacamole will be a favorite.

#SpoonTip: Once you open the guac, make sure to finish the ENTIRE box, as it oxidizes and will leave your fridge and room smelling like rotten avocado for weeks. Even better, stock up on the mini guacs to avoid this from happening

4. Cheez-Its – Boxed Wine

Looking for a classy night? Look no further because boxed wine and cheese itz are sure to impress any college date.

5. Hershey Kisses – Champagne

Revamp this classic combo with $3 hershey kisses and $7 cheap champagne, spending $10 rather than $100 – your wallet (and stomach) will thank you later.

6. Pretzels – Hard Cider

This classic fall fave reminds us of a farmers market: the warm taste of cider and homemade (or factory made!) crunchy, salty pretzels.

7. Ramen – Tequila

This blend is absolutely AMAZING. The salty ramen serves as a a makeshift salt on the rim of a tequila shot, and the warm noodles will leave you feeling all warm and satisfied post a couple shots.

8. Instant Mac and Cheese – Beer

Enjoy a relaxing night in with a cold beer and some warm easy mac to wash it down – practically a gourmet meal ready in approximately 3 and half minutes.

9. Caramel Popcorn – Scotch

Did someone say desert? The smokey flavor of scotch perfectly balances out the crunchy sweetness of the popcorn.

10. Lucky Charms – Bailey’s

Forget milk, try subbing baileys instead for a spiked bowl of cereal.
