A haunting need for images Needed: Gallery needs to be filled of different versions (that does not includeScooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated).

Behind the scenes[]

ProducerWilliam Hanna had always imagined that a "Scooby Snack" would taste like some sort of a caramel-flavored cookie (the batter, however, is colored like brown sugar and similar in color to butterscotch),^{[citation needed]} and he andJoseph Barbera had previously used the concept of a dog that goes wild for doggie treats in theQuick Draw McGraw series in 1959, with Quick Draw's dog, Snuffles.

Furthermore, in the "Mystery Inc. Yearbook" featurette on theScooby-Doo's Creepiest Capers DVD, it is explained that a Scooby Snack tastes like a Butterscotch Morsel.

Other uses of the term[]

• Warner Bros. today licenses "Scooby Snacks" as both an official brand of doggie treats and as a human-consumable cookie snack. Vanilla wafers were packaged and sold as "Scooby Snacks" in Suncoast home video stores. The wafers are similar to Nilla Wafers.
• There is also a cocktail called the "Scooby snack". It is made of equal part melon liqueur and coconut-flavored rum, shaken with a splash of pineapple juice, half and half or milk, and ice.

• Alton Brown (in the episode "Tender is the Loin 1" of the television showGood Eats, aired January 18, 2006) uses the term Scooby Snack to describe: “A secret little delicacy that is saved and savored by the cooks back in the kitchen” (rather than being served on the menu).
• Fun Lovin' Criminals' first album contains a song called "Scooby Snacks". In an interview on UK television, the lead singer Huey explained that "Scooby Snacks" in this case were diazepam (Valium) tablets allowing bank robbers to be so cool.
• In England for a small time they sold crisps, or chips, called Scooby Snacks; they came in several flavors, such as pepperoni pizza.
