Which one.

"Which ones" invites multiple answers.

'Which ones do you like?' is a general question - we can easily like two or all three of those choices, so inviting 'multiple answers' is not a bad thing. But if I'm offering you one of these things as a snack now, I might ask 'Which one do you like?', but would probably ask 'Which one would you like?'.
