Scooby Snacks are a fictional food item of unknown and undetermined origin. They are used as a form of bribery for the characters of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Scooby-Doo and its various spinoffs. Producer William 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), and he and Joseph Barbera had previously used the concept of a dog that goes wild for doggie treats in the Quick Draw McGraw series in 1959.
