The best snack in the Volunteer State , according to the list, is the Goo Goo Cluster, a sweet, salty and crunchy treat filled with delicious flavors like caramel, peanuts, chocolate and marshmallow nougat. Here's what the site had to say about Tennessee's favorite snack:

"Some say the 'Goo' in Goo Goo Clusters (chocolate candy filled with marshmallow nougat, caramel and roasted peanuts) is an acronym for Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. In fact, it was baby talk by the son of inventor Howell Campbell Sr. that gave life to its name, as well as its slogan: 'It's so good, people will ask for it from birth.'"
