Desperate Snacking

Ok, so perhaps I unfairly outed Gentleman Caller's most desperate snacking fixes: honey and chocolate chips (but not together, as far as I know). Red Meat also goes for chocolate chips. I usually go for chocolate milk, or I cook up something decadent and desserty. When I was little, I would sneak into the pantry and guzzle pancake syrup when I wanted something sweet. People used to ask me, "Where did you get such nice brown hair?" (a blue artichoke with brown hair? Weird, I know). Most of my family has dark hair, so I thought it must be the pancake syrup that set my hair apart. After all, that was the only thing I did regularly that they didn't. Now that I think about it, why on earth would grown-ups ask kids where they got their hair?

Anyway, anyone else care to share a most desperate snack fix?

Dinner last night: leftover chicken and dressing casserole.
Dinner tonight: some sort of ground beef/cheese/noodle bake; green beans.

Comments

Once when desperately craving something gooey and chocolatey, I put dark chocolate chips on a graham cracker and nuked it for a few seconds. Spread them around, and oh my goodness. I still do that occasionally. Sometimes have to smear a little peanut butter on it too.

When Blue Artichoke has made something that uses sweetened condensed milk, I'll sneak it out of the fridge and eat it right out of the open can. There, I outed myself.

It's way better than honey, by the way.
