Do you have a guilty pleasure?
I have such a sweet tooth and usually have something on hand, candy at Halloween (soon!),

or cookies any time. Bad habits ARE hard to break.

(Oh, and soy chocolate milk. :9 )

I need to go shopping!

1. Chips
I can pass up chocolate. (Gasp!) But put potato chips or fritos in my house, and the bag calls to me "Halloooo...we're here. Eat us. We know you want to."

2. I got you both beat
My very favorite guilty pleasure it chocolate chocolate chip ice-cream with Sour Cream and Onion Potato chips crumbled on top. Occasionally I enjoy dipping the chips in the Ice Cream.

I have a friend who swears by barbecue chips with Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream...but I won't go there. :hi:

4. Besides Sparkly ........
.... who is a pleasure, but not a guilty one :) ......

Candy. SparklyJr and I feed into each other's guilty pleasure of it. Sparkly's powerless to control our craven purchases of the evil substances. We buy it openly. We sneak it in.

Just today, SparklyJr greeted me upon my return from a business meeting by waving twizzler cherry laces at me.

10. They are bad influences on each other.
They nudge each other in the mall when we pass a candy store, and tell me to go on ahead and try on some shoes, they'll meet up with me later... But I'm onto them now!! And I literally steer them away from the bulk candy bins in the grocery store.

But alas, there's only so much I can do!

21. Real chocolate-YES!!
Most of the stuff sold here is hog food as far as I'm concerned-but then I was raised in Vienna.

5. Reeses peanut butter cups & Peanut M & Ms.
I know, I know. There are much better chocolates. These are low-rent, mass produced, chocolate flavored atrocities. Shoot me.

13. I was thinking of putting some in a smoothie
Just today, when was fixing my banana smoothie I was thinking that I might try a tiny dab of peanut butter in it next time. With the fruit and some vanilla it should add just the right twist.

14. Peanut Butter and Banana smoothies are SO's favorite
They're great with some chocolate syrup kicked in too....He gets very happy when I make these for him. He won't even try to make them himself since the "blender incident". He had to replace the drop ceiling panels after that one.

20. My blender has to be held down now
One time I was reaching for a straw and when I looked back it was acting like it was ready to take off like the shuttle. Shake, rattle and roll. I think I saw a blender that snaps the pitcher into place.

22. You are evil.
I am now the proud owner of a pkg. of mint-flavored, double-stuffed oreos, and it's all your fault.
:banghead:

PS And they're really good!:9

9. It is so horrible I can hardly say.
OK, you beat it out of me. Cheetos, the crunchy kind. Gross, I know, but you did say GUILTY pleasure. And I sure feel guilty after eating a bag of those babies.

16. Yep-and it will spook a LOT of people here...
...who will offer lots of health related good advice,to which I reply-SHUT UP-IT'S MY GUILTY PLEASURE...ready-there is a local market that offers their very own home-made, thick sliced, extremely meaty bacon....we are talking the bacon of the Gods here....And when I buy it (several times a year) and bring it home, I cannot resist eating just one or two slices raw....A bacon so fine that just the lard from it is a delicacy-I'd die for it,and may yet-but no fair squealing to my doctor-and I won't rat you guys out for your mere candy...

17. I always eat raw bacon
I like it.

Oddly, I like my bacon ultra crisp ... or raw. I really can't even hardly handle limp cooked bacon.

19. Ah Bless you...
for the support there, friend.Where I come from the fear is trichnosis which you and I know came from pigs fed (not nutritionally,but real) garbage.The same people are appalled by slightly rare (and delicious) pork.I love the part in the novel "Texas" where James Mitchner describes cowhands whom are on cattle drives, literally within yards of the best and freshest beef in the world and then curse the Mexican cook for serving a steak not fully black to the center......

18. butter and really good bread! can't have it in the house
will eat it. Had to quit making my own bread because hot bread and butter is even better

also warm fudge brownies with butter on them, like they didn't have enough butter on them in the first place.

I can also admit to being a potato chip junkie, so don't buy those either.

24. Good bread is also a guilty pleasure here.
I just returned from NY, home of the best bagels, rolls, and pizza dough I've ever tasted. I've been told it's the water, but whatever... I am glad I no longer live there, because I can guarantee I'd be about 20 pounds heavier.
