This week’s Pink Thing of the Day is a fantastic snack that was destined to disappear almost as quickly as I opened the bag: Trader Joe’s Pink Lady Apple Chips. These dehydrated apple slices are dusted with cinnamon sugar and have the kind of crisp crunch that makes them dangerously easy to keep eating by the handful.

Spotted at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, these wildly whimsical Freeze Dried Candy Clusters from High Snack are a technicolor dream of sugary delight — and they just so happen to be perfectly pink (and the little warrior characters on the bag? Insanely cute). These fluffy, crunchy morsels look like cereal marshmallows got a glam makeover, complete with tiny golden sprinkles and an unapologetically artificial hue.
