What's Your Favorite Junk Food?

[mariez]

This must be my all time favorite guilty pleasure...

You're like my husband - he loves any type of "gummies"!   I can take them or leave them - but if I'm going to eat a gummy candy I like Sour Patch Kids.  It's a sour gummy with a sugar coating:



I like the combination of sweet and sour, or salty and sweet.

Have you all tried Caramel Iced Latte or Java Chiller at Sonic? Addictive and delicious (if you like that kind of drink)!!

I don't have a Sonic nearby, but Tim Horton's Iced Cappucino is wonderful. In the summer, I like to drink just plain iced coffee in the morning.

This must be my all time favorite guilty pleasure...

Not forgetting jelly babies,balck jacks and fruit salads.Followed by a trip to the dentist,to replace all the fillings you pull out eating them.

I remember Fluffernutter!

Do they still sell it? Yeah, Mom always put it on my peanut butter sandwiches. I haven't had it in years. It's very good, even though it probably contains enough cholesterol and fat to cement your arteries closed on contact!

Yep, they definitely still sell Fluff.  I had a wild craving for a Fluffer-Nutter a few weeks ago and bought some Fluff.  There are actually several brands of marshmallow spread... knock-offs of Fluff.  But, for a true Fluffer-Nutter I think it needs to be real Fluff brand Fluff.

Well. I don't remember the King's non-recommendation. LOL!!

And I don't remember the orange ones. Maybe they were regional? Or maybe I just forgot! 

I do remember the little King tho.

I'd put one on a plate and slice it and eat it with a fork -- pretending that I was on a fancy cruise ship and that was my fancy dessert. Haha. (Only child -- I made up a lot of things to play -- weird, I know.)

Well -- Ding Dongs were a TREAT. Most of the desserts we had were homemade pies or cakes. I guess homemade is the treat nowadays.

Funnel cakes
Hostess snacks, i.e. Twinkies (or name another type)
Slushie drinks
Pork rinds
Buffalo wings
Pop tarts - what flavor?


I have no idea what those things are. Some sound like really guilty pleasures though. 'Fluffer-nutter sandwich'? 

Hey Fabienne!  Here are the other foods on your list not covered yet...

Funnel cakes:
These are a common treat at carnivals and fairs in the U.S.  They're essentially fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Hmmm ... how about homemade fudge?  I am not a chocoholic, but love fudge.

If you like fudge,you have to try Scottish butter tablet,it's in a whole different league!!!!

[Shasta542]

OH NO!!! I didn't look close enough at the picture! Sorry about that. I'll try to find a different one!

I hate it when people do that!

It was funny!

When I was a kid, my mom used to have a huge baking session every Sunday,pies, cakes,cookies,to last the week. I cannot believe how little,lookng back ,I appreciated it.I always wanted the shop bought cakes and considered myself,hard done buy.
My kids are the exact opposite,they love it when I bake.They really consider it a treat,and I alway have to make extra cake mix so we can all get a good few spoons,before it hits the oven.

The whole fudge topic is interesting when it comes to Fluff too.  Because, as far as I understand, a lot of folks use Fluff as a basic ingredient in fudge.

I don't know why.

But, as far as Fluff staying in business (a la David's question earlier... I think the fudge issue is on main reason that Fluff is still going strong).
