October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and also a good time to stock up on snacks. Plenty of our favorite confection makers are donating the proceeds to some great causes. As Samantha Jones once pointed out, everyone is utterly bored with "the cookie." Here are some other options that will help benefit the various cancer research foundations that are doing great work. Let's find this cure, guys. Every little bit helps.

Nothing beats this buttercream. Nothing. For every cupcake sold, a 50 cent donation will be given to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Tea time! All of the proceeds are going to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure in October.

As the brand name suggests, this healthy snack actually tastes good. They're trying to raise $100,000 for varior breast cancer research organizations and you can help.

Elenis is our FAVORITE bakery. For every gift box sold, a $5 donation will be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Save Lids to Save Lives. For every pink lid redeemed by December 31, 2011, Yoplait will donate up to $2 million to benefit breast cancer outreach programs. Don't throw away those lids!
