Day 19: Dreaming of Desserts


I love desserts. 

My top 10 favorite desserts are described below.

1. Cookies

*Chocolate Chip is my all time favorite dessert and cookie.
**Oatmeal Scotchies -- my mom made these when I was growing up, butterscotch chips in oatmeal cookies.
***Sugar cookies -- only my sister Suzi's recipe with almond extract in the recipe and the icing.

2. Brownies

*I will take these just about any way as long as they are chewy and not cakey. My go-to is the Original Supreme Box with the Hershey's syrup that you add.

3. Ice Cream

*Mint chocolate chip is my all time favorite flavor. Other flavors that I think are scrumptious include: chocolate types like brownie batter or chocolate swirl types; cherries, pecans, & cream; I can go for that Ben & Jerry's Core -salted caramel or the brownie core; cookies & cream only in a malt (they have leftover Oreo crumbles in the bottom); anything with hot fudge and/or caramel. If I were to have a mix or concrete, I enjoy Oreos or brownies mixed in. Don't forget snow ice cream; I love that too!

**Mint chocolate chip ice cream on a brownie is one combination I have on special occasions.

4. Candy Bars

Sometimes, I just go for the candy bar. I try new ones all too often. They keep adding variations, so how can I not?
Favorite candy bar is the newer blue package Snickers crisper. Oh my! Not that I love it, it is hard to find.
Besides a Snickers (including ice cream but excluding peanut butter), I like a dark Kitkat, dark Milky Way, Skor, Almond Joy, or Dove.

5. Crisp

*I don't love pie because of the crust, but I do love oatmeal. Therefore, apple, peach, or blackberry crisp would be right up my alley. I also can only do the dump cake kind. I am not a fan of cake. Oh, and please combine my #3 ice cream vanilla with this for a delectable dessert.

6. Pudding/Bread Pudding

*I would eat pudding for dessert, and I love every flavor (tapioca or chocolate is my favorite).
**Bread pudding is one of my other sister's specialties, and she makes the most delicious glazes including rum and lemon. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

7. Hello Dollies

*This is that graham cracker crust with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, nuts, and sweetened, condensed milk. Yum!

8. Truffles

*Oreo balls or cake balls, whichever are not baked, are the ones we always make at summer school.

9. Cinnamon Rolls

*Sweet Emotion makes delicious $1 cinnamon rolls. I have never made them homemade, but as long as they are gooey and covered in icing, I can dig 'em. I also like the orange kind; I grew up on this type.

10. Cheesecake

*Just like the Golden Girls, I love cheesecake. I enjoy chocolate or caramel or plain. I am not that crazy about the fruit kind.

  1. I love your list of desserts because like you, I love desserts too!!! I would probably start with Pie as number one and ice cream as number two. Crisps are third with donuts/pastries coming in fourth. I could probably live without candy bars, but I do love M & M's all flavors of the normal flavors not the new weird combination crazy flavors. Plain, Peanut, Crispy, Peanut Butter, Caramel is about as far as I like to venture on the M & M trail. I like pudding desserts too and cinnamon rolls, and cheesecake is ok. I can take or leave cookies and brownies, but truffles are on the rise and it's Goodbye Dollie!
