It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for the Share Our lives link up.
This month for the Share Our Lives link up we're sharing some of our favorite sweet tooth cravings.
Funny enough I don't remember having much of a sweet tooth until after I had kids of my own. I actually didn't like cake as a kid and I never much cared for chocolate even as a teen.
I don't know if it was pregnancy or what but I went from being the person that would rather eat French fries or potato chips and other savory snacks to craving sweets ALL the time!
I try really hard to curb that craving though and rarely "let" myself indulge but when I do I've got lots of favorites to pick from:
Chocolate-- I don't like much plain chocolate but I do like dark chocolate and Lindt truffles but I prefer my chocolate mixed with something like...
peanut butter pairings like Nutty Bars, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, peanut butter cookies with Hershey Kisses on top.
Caramel pairings like Rolos, Ghirardelli squares, chocolate/caramel cookies, Twix.
Raspberry pairings like
this chocolate raspberry cake Alec has made me for my birthday a couple of times now. And the amazing raspberry cheesecake bites he made for the 4th of July one year. I also really like Kit Kats, Butterfinger, Cadbury mini eggs, Heath bars, peanut butter M&M's, Caramel M&M's, & Cold brew caramel M&M's (I don't really like any other M&M's varieties).
Ice cream! My favorite flavors are those with lots of chunks of candy and chewy/crunchy things in them like Moose Tracks (vanilla ice cream w/ peanut butter/chocolate), Maine Black Bear (vanilla ice cream with raspberry/chocolate), Cookie Jar (vanilla ice cream with M&M. Oreo, Peanut butter cups, & more!),

A good homemade cake (or cupcake!) with homemade frosting-- some of our favorites through the years include:

| chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache |
Tiramisu
 |
| we also made a lemon tiramisu for my mom's 70th and I was so surprised that we really enjoyed that too! |
Brownies and brownie sundaes
Cookies and cookie bars!
 |
| Christmas crack (which we make year round with different colors/ or no sprinkles) |
Caramel apples or chocolate covered apples (or both mixed together!)
Pie-- especially apple, peanut butter pie, Tollhouse pie, & chocolate chip pecan pie
Carmel or candy coated popcorn
A few sweets I never eat-- anything gummy. I hate the texture of gummy bears or gummy worms or any of those gummy/chewy fruit snacks like Starburst, Jujy fruits, Swedish fish, etc. I don't like marshmallow so I don't eat anything s'mores or rocky road. I'm not a big fan of nougat so I rarely eat anything like 3 Musketeers or filled chocolate candies.
I hope you'll join us next month when we look at Where do you Shop?

Oh, I am waking up craving all these goodies! Such good recipies you have. I am going to save some for when I have a crowd so I don't eat it all :).
ReplyDeleteSo many great sweet treats- love all of the pictures and recipe links. I have never made a poke cake before- the Oreo one you have a picture for looks like a good one to start with! If I hadn´t eaten so many sweets over the weekend, I would be apt to indulge today looking at these pictures. I am nuts over gummies- I wish I didn´t like anything gummy or gel-like, lol.
ReplyDeleteIs there any better combo than pb and choc? I am going to need to do those buckeye cookies! i love buckeyes so much!
