Guilty Pleasures?

[IrishLass]

Spicy chocolate really is the best. Of course I love anything spicy.
When I tell people I make jalapeno ice cream they think I'm crazy, but it is soooooo goood!!!!

WooHoo! Another ice cream I can have all to myself! No one will eat the avocado ice cream that I make, but me.

I love jalepenos on pizza, too.

Mike and Ike's (any flavor)

OMG! Me too! And they sell them everywhere for a buck a box (cept at the movies - more like $5). I’m an original kind of guy but I don’t turn any of the new flavors down!

That kestral in you avatar is gorgeous!

Indeed, he is. He has lived in my home with me for 9 years. He (and the other birds under Federal Permit and in my care) have provided conservation education in 5 states and almost a thousand presentations.

Cinnamon and Brown Sugar PopTarts and Tagalong Girl Scout cookies. Unfortunately, the Girl Scouts of America does not ship internationally. We'll have to stock up when we go visit in a few months.

WHY hasn't anyone made dark chocolate-covered potato chips yet??!!!?

My local chocolatier (chocolatery??) makes divine dark chocolate potato chips that stay crunchy. The trick is to get chips with ridges, a light chocolate coating, and not completely coat the chip with chocolate.

My guilty pleasures: lip syncing and air guitar to whatever is on my spotify playlist. Anything with poprocks in it - I waited 10 years for them to bring back Fireworks Oreos, last summer DQ had an awesome poprocks blizzard. Laying in bed on Saturday until 11am with coffee and a book. All things avocado.

That reminds me of the 90's.
Eating too much. Of anything.
Ice cream.
Spending time in the kitchen. ( ALWAYS results in something like...)
chocolate covered nut clusters,
Cake
Cake mix cookies.
Dump cake ( look it up yourself I will NOT be responsible )
Cashew brittle ( made like peanut brittle but with cashews)
Collecting things that go bang. Even though I probably really don't need more.

My list could go on but time runs short. There's something I need to do in the kitchen.

Two days ago I'd never heard of dump cake. I looked it up. Should have just stopped there, but noooo.... I made the mistake of sending my husband a link to this wonder. For two days now he has not stopped talking about it. Incessantly.

Thanks a lot, Steve.

Dump cake is awesome. So many ways to make it.

Unfortunately the Girl Scouts 2019 cookie lineup does not include Tagalongs from what I've read. No worries, though- here's a copycat recipe for Tagalongs from the Today show: https://www.today.com/recipes/homemade-tagalong-cookies-t78181

WHHAAATTT?!?! NOOOO!! That's the main reason I was willing to take a trip back to the States!

Woops! My bad....you can breathe easy- they still have the Tagalongs! I don't know what site I was on that didn't include the Tagalongs in the lineup, but I just checked their official site, and they are on there. Yay!

I think that's one of those cookies that has two names. It's possible the first list you saw was using the other one.

 

[MarnieSoapien]

@IrishLass Whew! Thanks! I didn't cancel my tickets, but I was seriously considering it. I will make sure to dedicate a section of my suitcase to GS cookies.

I just laughed out loud at work... Weds my hubby was complaining about his weight gain (for the record, he's added a whopping 10lbs to his string bean physique) and Thursday he came home with 5 boxes of GS cookies. Two of them were Momoas - I mean Samoas. With or without the guy on the box, those are some fantastic cookies!

When my friend sent that to me I laughed out loud too!! But yes, Samoas are my favorite GS cookie followed very closely with the Thin Mints.

OMG dump cake is my childhood. It has been so long since I had some.

Sorry about the "Dump Cake" Oh wait, I'm NOT.
I told you I would NOT be held responsible. So easy to put in the oven. Just dump a bunch of stuff in with a cake mix.

Why am I always on a diet?

I didn't think you'd be sorry. (and I'm not, either)

Yesterday I was at the store procuring Dump Cake ingredients when I got a message on my phone that TeresaGG had replied to this post (#57 above). All it did was reaffirm that what I was doing was the right thing. lol

At least I didn't say anything about dipping whole frozen strawberries into melted milk chocolate.
