Straight from TikTok comes the best of the popular "Snack or Yack" series in this playful collection of recipes that span the show devoted to cooking up "shockingly delicious" snacks. The cookbook invites readers to be creative risk takers--and to think of snacks in new ways. The authors have laid out a snacker's ideal pantry, containing things like cheese puffs, pickles, powdered drink mixes, pizza rolls, and pancakes, and they intersperse 60-second hacks into their recipes to ensure there are options for all attention spans and cooking levels. There are surprising riffs on classics here, such as chili-cheese cinnamon rolls and open-faced chicken alfredo sandwiches. The pictures of the authors dishing up burgers and more capture their winning social media personae; even snackers who haven't seen their videos will appreciate. VERDICT Recommended for TikTokers ready to whip up bacon-wrapped pickles, this book will inspire its own viral posts based on the recipes and the ethos of the Party Shirt guys, one rainbow-dyed ravioli noodle at a time.--Emily Bowles
