The Psychology of Snacking: Why We Crave Biscuits When We’re Happy (or Stressed!)

Have you ever felt like eating a biscuit after a long day—or when you’re celebrating something special? You’re not alone.

Biscuits are one of the most loved comfort foods in the world. Whether we are happy, sad, stressed, or just want a little break, a biscuit often feels just right. But have you ever wondered why?

Let’s explore the science behind why we crave biscuits—and how Biscraft biscuits like Cremelicious, Cashew Bliss, or Butter Bliss can lift your mood.

🧠 Why We Crave Biscuits

When we feel stressed or emotional, our brain wants something that makes us feel good. Sweet and crunchy snacks, like biscuits, are perfect for this. Eating biscuits can trigger the release of dopamine, a chemical that helps us feel happy and relaxed.

Even when we’re celebrating or enjoying a moment of joy, our brain looks for a reward—and biscuits fit the role perfectly. That’s why biscuits are often called comfort food.

🍪 What Makes Biscuits So Comforting?

  1. Familiar Taste Biscuits often remind us of home, childhood, and good memories. A bite of Butter Bliss or Cashew Bliss can bring back those happy times.
  2. Perfect Texture The crisp bite followed by a soft, creamy center (like in Cremelicious) is very satisfying.
  3. Quick & Easy Biscuits are always ready to eat. Whether you're working, traveling, or relaxing at home, they are a perfect snack.

 

😊 Happy or 😟 Stressed — We Snack Either Way

Both happy and stressful moments can lead to biscuit cravings. When we’re happy, we eat to celebrate. When we’re sad or anxious, we snack to feel better. Biscuits help us in both situations by giving a little comfort and joy.

🌍 A Global Love for Biscuits

In almost every country, biscuits are enjoyed in different ways. At tea time, during work breaks, or as midnight snacks—they’re always around. Biscraft brings this love into every biscuit we make, blending taste with emotion.
