Worthless Desserts

I have a huge sweet tooth.  I love desserts.  I love sweet things.  Most things can't BE too sugary for me.  These desserts are a terrible excuse for desserts and waste my time and my stomach space and ruin my happiness.  This is the last for now of my little lists.  Please remind me if you know me well enough to know I forgot something on one of these lists.


-Pecan Sandies.  I hardly consider these even dessert, but they're called cookies.  Its like eating sweetened stale crumbly crutons.  Which is to say, awful.  So dry.  Give me milk!!

-Cake.  *Most* cake.  This might surprise people.  But I tirade about cake all the time.  Homemade cake is good and all, its just not great.  And grocery-store sheet cake is, once again, a terrible excuse for a dessert.  The frosting is disgusting-sweet and the cake is dry.  Rum cake, ice cream cake, pudding cake, anything with a nice layer of something squishy in between or frosting that isn't just sugar, is what cake should be.

-Circus Peanuts!  Thanks Chris for reminding me.  Cause YOU like them.  Sick.  They taste gross.  Like stale vomit-flavored marshmallows.  Are you serious people eat these on purpose?  Purge.

-Ice Box Cookies.  The only ostensible "cookie" worse than a Pecan Sandie.  Sandy?  Whatever.  They're dry-er and harder and nastier.  Ice Box Cookies only DON'T taste terrible because they're covered in powdered sugar.  I refer to my entry on Lima Beans for this one.  

-Peanut Butter Kiss cookies.  Y'know, the little peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's Kiss in the middle.  Do they taste bad?  No.  But here's the thing.  You might as well hand me a peanut butter cookie, and a Hershey's Kiss.  The only nice thing about the cookies is the kiss is pre-unwrapped.  But its impossible to enjoy the kiss WITH the cookie, because it comes off the cookie all at once, or at most in two bites.  So you get peanut butter cookie bite, two halves of Hershey's Kiss, peanut butter cookie bite.  Its just too much trouble.

-All those candy bars you only know cause you see em at the grocery store.  Who EATS those things?  Why do they still make them?  I mean Baby Ruth isn't even BAD, but who BUYS THEM???  Bar None, Pay Day, 100 Grand, Skor, Skor, SKOR, SKOR?!?  Zagnut, Oh Henry, Clark Bar, the list goes on.

That's all I got for right now.  There's gotta be more, I just can't remember.

We could never live together. I LOVE lima beans AND grocery store cake with all-sugar icing. I do agree with you on the Peanut Butter Kisses though - worthless.

While we have some differences, I appreciate the thought you put into your dessert choices. I do feel like if you are going to eat all those calories, don't settle for a dessert that is not your favorite!

You are NOT a fan of vanilla ice cream...you think "why would i have a plain ice cream when there are all of these good yummy chocolatey and fruityish flavors:)

Also- I mean who buys those dark chocolate MINT three musketeers. weird.

oh and....i consider cold creme brulee a let down. it usually doesn't taste like much but because the name sounds fancy and exquisite you expect so much. Then you get past the crunchy burnt layer and it is mushy sort of tasteless pudding.

i believe you have said you are not a fan of white chocolate because of something something not as tasty as you expect...
