Exclusive: The Snackmasters chefs on how they level up an ordinary snack

They might dish up some of the fanciest plates across the country, but that doesn't mean the Snackmasters chefs are above indulging in a cheeky snack themselves.

We sat down with the chefs behind Season 2 of Snackmasters to find out their go-to snacks as well as their favourite way to eat them.

Stream the latest episodes of Snackmasters on 9Now.

So which Aussie classics get our chefs most excited? Celebrity chef Adam D'Sylva can't go past a Four'N Twenty servo pie while Benjamin Cooper says fish and chip shop crab sticks are "one of his favourite things on the whole planet".

Of course, their culinary flair means the chefs do like to add a little something extra to their humble snacks.

And they filled us in on just how they take their snacks from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Dot Lee and Jarrod Walsh top up their microwave popcorn with brown butter, truffle oil, salt and bit of cayenne pepper.

If the chefs' tips are anything to go by it seems it's all in the seasoning.

When it came to rating Australia's number one snack, there was one clear standout – the Tim Tam!

Laura admitted the Tim Tam wasn't her personal favourite but still thought it deserved top spot.

"I hate it, but it's world famous. It's actually a good snack, I just don't like things that are too sweet," she said.

Like so many Aussies, some snacks took the chefs way back to their childhood.

For Jarrod, a black currant roll up was his favourite snack as a youngster simply because "they lasted the longest", while Sam Young said as a kid he always reached for a gummy bear.

"I love the chewy texture and Mum never let me eat them too often," he said.

Snackmasters airs on Sunday at 7.00pm and on Monday at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
