gouter
sweet snack
In French schools, children have a gouter (traditionally, a piece of buttered bread and chocolate) in the mid morning, and have another gouter in the afternoon when they come home from school. Parents grumble that a lot of kids prefer cochonerie (junk food) these days.
Collation is another word for a snack.
