munchables
Bite-sized food items
Munchables are snack foods—things you can munch on.
The word suggests casual, bite-sized eating rather than a proper meal: I picked up some munchables for the road trip.
Often used playfully, especially with children or when the specific snacks don't matter: There are munchables in the pantry if you get hungry.
