Last week we had a wedge salad with such a totally sweet dressing we've been making all week......
Creamy Blue cheese with Balsamic vinegar and brown sugar
Anything cake/ice-cream or Little Debbie branded. I have a serious sweet tooth. My wife makes some excellent cakes with the best homemade buttercream frosting I've ever had...
I also like making homemade beef jerky...
Here's a favorite:
Butterfinger pie...
1 block of cream cheese
1 tub of Cool Whip
1 8-pack of mini butterfinger bars
1 graham cracker crust
Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature. Whip in a mixer until light. Add the Cool Whip and mix at lower speed until blended. Break the Butterfinger bars into small bits and add to the mix. Reserve one of the crushed bars for garnish if desired. Add to crust and top with reserved bits. Refrigerate and enjoy...
Does anything count as a snack or does it have to be bad for you? :bigsmile:
Berries! Oranges. Failing that, fruit cocktail in a can.
Also chocolate mousse cake. edit
Any cinnamon pastry.
I believe Mikado is actually Pocky just renamed for the Europe / UK market, no?
Anime fan much?
I could go for some blueberry pocky right about now.
Combine post 7 with post 8 for one of my all time favorite snacks. Funny that they would be listed one after another. (serendipity) Just take some of 8 and one piece of 7 and eat them together.
Can't stand Hershey's. It is occasionally available her and usually ends up being very heavily discounted. Not that the UK stuff is even edible by European standards.
Marmite and salt and vinegar crisp (chip in the US) sandwich in a roll.
