Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it's the best ever but it's 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there's also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it's not instant gratification y'know?
Once you bake a pan though it's pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you're not too concerned with your waistline.
Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.

Popcorn
Microwave popcorn. It's convenient enough that I can make it easily any time, but just inconvenient enough that it doesn't all get horked down on the first day.
I find that stove top popcorn is even less convenient (so less tempting to eat all the time), but much cheaper, and maybe tastier in some ways.
Get a ~500 g (1 lb or so?) bag of whole kernels for $3-ish, some oil that you use for cooking other stuff anyway, and salt. Heat the oil on the stove with a few kernels, then when those pop, briefly remove from heat and add more. Make sure the pot has a lid. Keep shaking it side to side to keep the popcorn from burning.
I find it adds just enough oil to taste good, but not so much that I’m eating something super awful for me. (And it’s much tastier than air popped). And I assume you could still add melted butter if you want an extra treat.
I want to get one of those movie theatre style things where the popcorn can fly out of the pot.
I have one that's this style and I use it a lot. I got my parents this other kind though and think it works better

Anything remotely resembling a snack will not be left for long so we don't keep anything.
Yep. The only way to prevent daily snacking is by not having snacks in the house.

Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews... Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there's the spiced and coated varieties
Junk food is a metaphor for thermodynamics. Nothing lasts. if it's in stock, then it's eaten. So I try not to buy any. But even then I will dip strawberries in sugar.
dip strawberries in sugar
Aha, i knew it u sick mothafucka!
Dark chocolate. Sweet enough to satisfy sugar cravings, but a low enough sugar content I can chomp on one to get my blood sugar up before going to the corner store for breakfast.
Potato chips/crisps!
None. If it's here, I'm eating it. I sometimes bring some home on grocery day but it's always gone that day.
Usually, pototo chips, chocolate covered pretzels, gummies, chocolate cover gummies.
Frozen mango pieces. I love eating those whenever I’m in the mood for something to snack.
Not sure if it counts as junk food, but it’s something I always try to keep at home. Though lately they’ve been sold out at the supermarket. So I’m forced to fall back on my 2nd choice, frozen raspberries.
frozen raspberries
Haha those should be first choice. Basically the polar opposite in terms of flavor profile
Oh I love raspberries as well, it’s just that mangoes are more chewy when frozen.
Raspberries tend to be very hard and not as nice to bite down on when they’re straight from the freezer. But the flavor is great, no argument here :)
Pretzel rods. Chunky salt. Good crunch. Rods are the best hard pretzel shape.

None. If I crave for something crunchy I eat carrots or nuts. If I want to eat sweets I make my own brownies, marzipan or chocolate chip cookies. And if I really want to each chips/crisps I make my own batch.

Unsalted cashew nuts and french fries. The nuts I eat as is and usually run out by the end of the week. French fries I toss into the air fryier when ever I don't feel like cooking.
Crisps or air fryer party mix containing stuff like frikadellen, chicken nuggets or bitter balls. If you don't know number 1 and 3 then I feel sorry for the sad life you have lived up until now and urge you to get off your ass and find a snack bar somewhere between Zierikzee and Delfzijl.

You're confusing Dutch with German which is kind of like confusing Portuguese with Spanish. Or Iowa with Kentucky in your language.

Cheez-its sadly. I can’t stop. Help.
Same. My only defense is to not buy them.
The only one we keep stocked is milk. We make all kinds of desserts at home, like ice creams, cakes, pies, and pastries, but they never stay around for long.
It changes for me but right now I got some Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches. This is my first time getting these and they are so delicious.
I fukken love fat boys. Sometimes I'll mix up the name to introduce some fun to a situation. One time I turned to my partner and said "be right back I'm gonna absolutely fucking destroy a fat man" and she was deeply confused until I came back with an ice cream sandwich.
I miss trader Joe's dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.
candied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?
ricey crackers, they have chocolate and rice. everything one needs, besides some water..
