Scooby Snacks are a brand of dog biscuits in the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. They are a favorite of Scooby-Doo's, and he usually gets them via bribes from his friends in Mystery Incorporated in order to be brave, except for Shaggy Rogers, Scooby's owner, who is more often than not included in the bribe. When they were depicted as kids in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, it was established as food Scooby and Shaggy could regularly attain themselves, making the bribes somewhat redundant. In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, they were no longer bribes, mostly since Scooby and Shaggy managed to be brave without the need of Scooby Snacks.

- In "Episode Three" (series 5) of the BBC Radio 4 sketch program Dead Ringers, in response to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within using cartoon characters instead of real actors, Hollywood actors have taken to do the same. A segue with an element of The New Scooby-Doo Movies theme song, reveals that Russell Crowe and John Gielgud have taken on the roles of Shaggy and Scooby, respectively, in a case at an abandoned fairground haunted by Mr. Johnson to keep people away from the gold mine. Despite playing Shaggy, Crowe still has shaken his previous role of Maximus Decimus Meridius from Gladiator (a recurring gag on Dead Ringers), and when he responds to Velma, he paraphrases Maximus's famous quote, "My name is Maximus Decimus Shaggimus. Owner of a cowardly dog [Scooby], friend to a suspiciously gay-looking man [Fred]. And I would've had my vengeance, but I was, like, really scared. Zoinks!" He then wants to celebrate with Scooby, saying, "This, like, calls for Scooby Snacks. Scooby, at my signal, unleash your tongue and wrap it around a very tall sandwich." Scooby just says, "Scooby Scooby Dooby. Scooby Dooby Dooby, Raggy."
- In The Office episode "Merger," David gets in trouble for suggesting that Jennifer should take drugs to make her calmer, going into a joke about getting food for her because she has the munchies like Shaggy eating all those Scooby Snacks for the same reason, "dooby dooby doo" was code for a joint, and saying "Raggy" in a poor attempt to sound like Scooby.

When Cleveland gets scared, he says "Zoinks" and jumps on Rallo in a cartoony way, but Rallo makes him feel better by feeding him a Scooby Snack-like dog treat, which makes Cleveland respond in a happy Scooby-like laugh.
- In the So Random! episode "Cole & Dylan Sprouse," a girl wants to find her missing bike, so she takes her neighbor's Great Dane, her mom's minivan, and feeds the dog Scooby Bites all the while she solves the mystery, but it caused him to leave a big pile of "Scooby doo-doo" in the back seat. Scooby and Shaggy are sent to jail for 20 years for inspiring this, with Sally Jensen, kid lawyer, mocking them with a box of Scooby Bites.
- In the New Teen Titans short "Turn Back the Clock," Mad Mod turns back time altering the appearances of the Teen Titans with each passing decade, with the 70s making them look like Mystery Inc.; Beast Boy is Scooby, who has an empty box of vegetarian BB Snacks, which makes him whine with a "Ruh-roh."
- In the video game Monster Prom, there is an option to go on a Scooby Doo chase with Polly and Scott for a ghost scent. Scott brings along "Scott Snacks."

The Mystery Bunch joyfully talk about how finding a mystery soon that they will inevitably find by accident, when a Grimm monster appears and chases them through several doors, as the Junior Detectives just watch. The Grimm is caught and discovered to be Old Man Shopkeep, who mumbles in annoyance, "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids." Jaune eats from a box of Zwei Snacks, named after Team JNPR/The Mystery Bunch's dog, as does a confused Sun and Neptune, believing that if they eat Zwei Snacks, it will to get to them to their level.
- In the Sugar and Toys episode "Make Room for Roomie," the gang investigate the disappearance of Shaky (Shaggy), and ask Scoobidy (Scooby) several questions until he confesses that he killed Shaky because Shaky kept on eating his Scoobidy Snacks and threatened to neuter him.
