Solution

The correct alternative is "had eaten". This is because the action of your friends eating all the snacks happened before another past action, which is you arriving at Jazmin's party. In English, when we talk about an action that happened before another action in the past, we use the past perfect tense, which is formed with "had" + past participle of the verb. In this case, the past participle of "eat" is "eaten".
