I have a ginormous sweet tooth. I even thought (for only a few seconds and then I realized Mr. Groom probably wouldn't come.) of having a chocolate themed wedding.
Because of my ginormous sweet tooth (and the fact that its a stress reliever)I love to bake. Unfortunately, Mr. Groom isn't big on sweets so I've got to find others to share my treats with lest I gain my weight in chocolate. No thank you.
Here are some of my favorite types of treats:
Cookie: chocolate chip. Seriously, sometimes I suck down the store bough frozen dough before it can even make it to the oven
Ice cream: rocky road or moosetracks. Suprinsingly enough, I don't like plain chocolate ice cream. It tastes funny.
Cake: Chocolate with cream cheese icing or Italian Cream Cake or German Chocolate. Also, I love the key lime pie cupcakes I made that one time.
Cheesecake: Again, not really chocolate. I like the regular cheesecake topped with cherries. Mmmm.
Milkshake: Chocolate pineappple. Sonic doesn't list this flavor combo on their menu but they will make it if you order it. Go try it and tell me what you think.
Random: SMORES. I absolutely adore smores. Two of my favorite things- chocolate and marshmallows. I recently heard of someone making smores with reese cups. Have you ever? I think I might try it.
Hard candy: Werthers Orginals and Jolly ranchers. Thats about it. Unless peanut butter M&Ms count?
Non hard candy: Riesens-although I haven't had them in years.
What are your favorite sweet treats?
Got a thing for Milk Duds later; Kroger shouldn't lead me into temptation by selling boxes of them for $1. Hard to go wrong with chocolate cupcakes! Pecan pie ... chocolate pecan pie is even better. Banana pudding with the vanilla wafers. Snickers and Milky Way bars. Chocolate-covered peanut butter-filled pretzels. I could go on and on and on, but I'm already late for work! I have a brownie recipe, but not enough time to type it out for you right now. If I don't get home too late or fall asleep too early (a loved one got admitted to the hospital last night, and I got home after 3 a.m. and need to visit later), I will send it along ....
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate pecan pie. How did I leave out the pie category? Those pretzels sound amazing- you don't happen to have a recipe for those do you? I hope your loved one is healing quickly. No rush on the brownies- I won't be home until August but wanted to ask while it was on my mind.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for making me hungry! I love my moms recipe's for homemade chocolate chip cookies and chocolate pudding. And her chocolate cheesecake (sinful!)
ReplyDeletemmm - you are making me really hungry reading about all of this chocolate!! I am a chocoholic as well :) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteAhh... following you now that I know you're a SUPER sweet fanatic! My faves are chocolate lava-type cakes with the hot fudge filling that oozes out when you stick a fork in it, lemon flavored deserts, visits to Cold Stone creamery always make me happy, I like mixed berry pies with vanilla icecream, iced mochas, starbursts and skittles, dark chocolate, pretzel, and strawberried peanut butter m&ms, and plain cheesecake. Basically, I'll try anything sweet :) I tried a slice of the raspberry cream cheese loaf at Starbucks yesterday and nearly died. It was AMAZING.
