Snacking is one of America's favorite pastimes and has led to some pretty inventive and unique treats, like flavor-packed chips with the crispiest crunch, delicacies you can only find in certain regions of the U.S. or even staples that have grown in popularity so much that they have become mainstays in pantries around the country. Whether you're craving something sweet, salty or savory, there is a quick treat out there that is perfect for everyone.

Reader's Digest "searched high and low" for the top snacks around the country, compiling a list of the best in each state that "includes state foods, local eats and more" to offer an impressive variety from fried pork skins in Alabama and smoked salmon spread in Alaska to "slippery dumplings" in Delaware and crab fries in Maryland. So what is it for Washington?

The best snack in the Evergreen State, according to the list, is Rainier cherries, a fruity treat cultivated in Washington that are sweet and delicious.

Here's what the site had to say about Washington's favorite snack:

"A cross between the Bing and Van varieties, Rainier cherries have some of the highest sugar levels of sweet cherries. If you miss their short growing season, you can always snag a bag of dried ones from Chukar Cherries."
