12 Snacks Every College Kid Should Have in Their Dorm Room

That tiny little freezer compartment in your dorm room mini fridge is only good for two things: a frosty bottle of vodka and a box of these adorable little ice cream-filled mochi from My/Mo. Mochi, a Japanese rice flour confection, envelops a pocket of creamy ice cream, like a grassy-sweet green tea or tangy mango, for the best late-night snack ever. These little treats are definitely a step up from a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. First step, ice cream mochi. Next step, adulthood. $5.99 for 6 pieces, mymomochi.com

We’re obsessed with the crunchy, sweet, perfectly salted granola concoctions from Oatbox. While you can buy their granola two bags at a time, we recommend going for the subscription which sends you two different flavors each month. Flavors range from Peach & Pumpkin Seed to Pineapple & Coconut, mixing crisp toasty oats with little bites of seasonal freeze-dried fruit. $20/month for two 14 oz. bags, oatbox.com

The eternally forward-thinking clothing company, Patagonia, is now making food and we’re 100 percent on board. Our favorite? The pepper-crusted, robust-flavored jerky made from free-range bison. It’s thick, but not too chewy and the texture is spot on. Perfectly salted and spiced, we suggest washing it down with some of their Long Root Ale made with piney west coast hops (oh yeah, they make beer, too.) $10 for 2 oz., patagoniaprovisions.com

Never have potato chips looked so sophisticated. This silky milk chocolate bar from stylish LA chocolate company Compartés is studded with different-sized pieces of salted ruffled potato chips for a contrasting texture and crunch with each bite. $9.95 for 3 oz., compartes.com

Brandless, an amazing new online retailer, is the new go-to source for quality (and inexpensive) groceries. Everything from organic peanut butter to crushed pepper and truffle oil popcorn is under $3. These chewy sour gummy worms remind us of the ones we ate as kids, but they’re made with cane sugar and no funky corn syrup. $3 for 8 oz., brandless.com

Fried in avocado oil, these super-snackable Kettle Brand chips have the tang of a salt-and-vinegar chip, but with a touch of heat from chile powder. They’re also dusted with a mango infused salt for a little salty-sweetness. $3.79 for 8.5 oz., available at Whole Foods Market

These toasty, sweet chile-glazed butternut squash seeds from Stony Brook are airy, crunchy and reallyaddictive. If you’re feeling motivated, sprinkle them on a grain salad or some roasted vegetables, but they’re best right out of the bag.$3 for 3 oz., farmtopeople.com

I know, I know. You’re thinking “BLEGH, RAISINS. Who willingly eats raisins after the age of 5?”, but these plump little morsels from Nuts.com will seriously change your mind about the dried fruit. Fat, juicy and full of flavor, purple-hued royals are the largest variety of raisin and taste like grapes plucked right from the vine. $5.99 for 1lb., nuts.com

These crunchy, gooey marshmallow-and-puffed rice bars are a major upgrade from the ones you munched on after your youth soccer games. SMASHCRISPY makes their treats with all natural and organic ingredients and they come in playful new flavors like Strawberries-and-Cream and our favorite, Cinnamon Churro. $4.99 for 6 bars, smashmallow.com

Get your buzz on with these coffee infused chocolate bites from Wild Ophelia and Vosges Chocolate. Bite into the dark or milk chocolate and the snappy outer shell gives way to a lusciously creamy chocolate filling. It’s hard to choose between the Mexican Vanilla or Sea Salt Caramel Latte, but we suggest the bold Jet Black flavor for real cold-brew obsessives. Feel Good Bonus: 10 percent of proceeds go to the Wild Ophelia Accelerator Fund, which helps young female entrepreneurs start their own food businesses. $2.49 for 1.39oz., vosgeschocolate.com

We’re seriously addicted to the genius popcorn concoctions from Poppy in North Carolina. Fresh and crunchy, their flavors span the entire sweet and savory spectrum including Salt-and-Vinegar and Cotton Candy. The one we keep reaching for? Their eponymous mix of not-too-sweet salted caramel, white cheddar and jalapeño cheddar popcorn. It’s satisfying on all fronts and can be purchased in every size from 5-ounce bags to 3.5 gallon tins. Go big or go home, right? Starting at $4.95, poppyhandcraftedpopcorn.com

No flavor packet necessary for this easy to-go cup of complex, satisfying bone broth from Nona Lim. This comforting little elixir is made from actual beef bones and has the taste of pho broth that has been simmering for hours. $29.94 for 6 10oz. cups, nonalim.com
