Just buy everything that isn't made in the US - such as Oreos, Pepperidge Farm, Frito-Lay, etc. I think packaged cookies from the grocery store are always better than the ones in boulangeries/patisseries, unless you like macarons.
Most French people buy this stuff for their kids, who can eat as much as they want and get away with it - for now. |
yes. the fat catches up later.

I would go for Madeleines, I think for a sweet little snack.

What I can think of as French local snack/pastries, though I have no idea whether they are sold in USA or not:
kouign-amann, superb when bought in Bretagne, but some Paris patiseries are selling it Crepe dentelle, as a form of very delicate biscuit, and tasty as well Palmier (biscuit in form of palmiers), as someone mentioned above Marron glacé (glazed chestnut): I tried to make it once but it's not as easy as it seems Google if you don't know those names |
Have you seen the French men and women? Methinks they do not snack, just perhaps on cigarettes!
