snack bars

Portable wrapped munchies

Snack bars are small establishments selling light, quick food—often found in airports, malls, or recreational facilities.

The term also refers to individually wrapped food bars meant for portable eating between meals: granola bars, protein bars, cereal bars.

I grabbed a snack bar from the vending machine.
