Happy Happy Thursday everybody! Another day and another junk food review, woohoo!
You will see below that one item that I’m reviewing is in fact not a snack cake but it dawned on me that I needed to hurry up and review it because it is a s’mores food item. Being that is it is the middle of August, S’mummer is coming to a quick close and I better go ahead and review it. I personally will eat anything s’mores year round but not everyone is as awesome as I am haha.
First up we have the Peanut Butter Ho-Ho’s…
looks yummy…
So I will preface this review with the fact that I do love a good snack cake (there’s my redneck tastebuds coming out again) and throw in some peanut butter then I’m way excited. Well, this cake would have been awesome had there been any discernible peanut butter in this cake, sigh. This literally just tasted like a regular chocolate snack cake, tasty, but nothing special this gets a solid 5 out of 10.
Our next snack cake is the Little Debbie S’mores cake…
this looks pretty awesome…
I gotta say, Little Debbie y’all did a pretty darn good job on this little snack cake. The cake part has a really good underlying graham cracker flavor, and for once a s’mores product put the right amount of chocolate where it’s not overwhelming the entire treat. The only thing I would have changed is have the cream filling taste more marshmallowy, basically it tastes like most vanilla cream fillings in snack cakes, yummy, but not like marshmallow. I liked these a lot, I mean as good as cake from a little plastic baggie is going to taste haha. I give these a 7 out of 10.
Last but not least we have a very non snack cake item, but as I mentioned earlier it is s’mores and it’s getting a bit late into summer to be reviewing that kind of stuff so here we go…
mmm…
delicious…
This Great Value Graham Cracker Marshmallow swirl was something I had been waiting for forever to try. I believe this item was/is exclusive to Wal-Mart and honestly I don’t get super excited to go peruse around that store, but I was willing to do so to get this stuff. I initially tried this straight off of a spoon like a savage and was pretty grossed out by what I tasted. I guess I had expected the perfect balance of marshmallow fluff and chocolate but instead I got an overwhelming spoonful of just sickening sweetness. I was this close to just throwing the whole thing out but instead decided to try it on a graham cracker like it was most likely intended to be eaten. Well, I don’t know what happened, but on a graham cracker, this magically transforms into a delicious s’mores treat. If you really really want to turn up the awesome, dip pretzels into this stuff and you will get the perfect sweet & salty treat. I give this stuff (on graham crackers or pretzels) a solid 9 out of 10.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!
Y’all, I will totally have my office decorated for Halloween September 1st, no shame here. Anyways, so with the onset of my favorite season comes the need for lots of dips, because watching a football game without some sort of chip & dip combo is just unacceptable. I am basically always on the lookout for a new dip to try, and honestly the easier the better in most cases #lazyonacheatday. This particular dip has popped up in my feed for forever, with a number of different names with varying ingredients, but for the most part there have been 5 or less ingredients in most of them, which is just perfect. 
For such a simple and un-fancy dip, I can only assume it’s called the Neiman Marcus Dip due to them serving it at some point? I really have no idea, all I know is that this dip was thrown together in about 5 minutes and is spectacularly delicious, I mean how could it not be with all of that mayonnaise & cheese in it? I did make one slight little change in this recipe by swapping out the green onions (which I just cannot stand) with the dried Parsley. 
Also, the next time I make this dip, I will swap out the basic shredded cheddar with finely shredded cheddar-which I made note of in the recipe card-so it will blend more smoothly. If you’re looking for something easy and delicious to make for your football watching pleasure or maybe some Game of Thrones viewing, I think this one will be right up your alley. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and thank you so much stopping by! 
Honestly, the term pizookie isn’t really used around these parts, we just call them skillet cookies, but I get that it’s supposed to be a mix between a pizza and a cookie, so yeah. I digress, so these pizookies that BJ’s have all look absolutely incredible, like holy crap, can I please just try every single flavor and happily go into a sugar coma for the rest of my life? 
Well, very unfortunately, the closest freaking BJ’s is no less than a three and a half hour drive from the Atlanta area, and well, I’m just not gonna do that y’all, I drive enough during the week. You guys, so obsessed am I, that I have even contacted BJ’s requesting that they build one of their restaurants in my area, I have yet to receive a response (shocker), but I had to at least try . Sooo, I decided, heck, I can bake some stuff, bet I can try to emulate this one particular pizookie that they have with a chocolate cookie, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and toasted marshmallows on top. 
Since I have never actually tried their stuff I can’t accurately compare it, but holy freaking cow y’all, this turned out absolutely positively incredible! The soft, gooey chocolate cookie with the layers of peanut butter, fluff and toasted marshmallows, ohh emm geee, just get in my mouth. Yes, I cheated a bit since I used pre-made cookie dough but it was Trader Joe’s brand, so, #health haha. This dessert is oh so decadent and crazy easy to make so just go ahead and make your weekend a whole lot better and make this. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day and weekend! 
As you can see, this stuff is a Biscoff Gelato, pretzels, peanuts and caramel. Seriously, I love allll of these ingredients and I was so hoping that they would come together perfectly and OMG did they ever. You can really taste the Biscoff flavor in the gelato which is amazing, the peanuts are not small tiny little pieces, they are half and full sized which I loved. There was the perfect amount of caramel swirled throughout and the only complaint that I had was that the pretzel pieces were slightly soggy, which honestly is to be expected since they’re sitting in gelato, but it didn’t ruin this by any means. This is the perfect mix of sweet and salty, and the gelato is so deliciously creamy. This gets a solid 9 out of 10.
Y’all, I made this Easy Pineapple Coconut Fluff for a Memorial Day Party, y’all! Memorial Day!! That was almost 2 months ago! I didn’t forget or not post because I didn’t like this, not at all, I absolutely love this dish. Not only was it thrown together in about 5 minutes, but it’s also no-bake, it’s fruity & fun. If I were to look for a reason, it probably has something to do with making/shooting/editing 5-7 recipes every weekend, and I guess this particular one just got lost in the mix of all of my Junk Food Reviews and original recipes, sheesh I can be such a goob. 
Since I am already currently being bombarded by all things to do with Fall, I figure I might as well throw out one last tropical, summer type recipe before it’s too late, I mean, it is still hot as Hades around here after all. Oh, and I used these really fun and yummy marshmallows that were fruit flavored in this recipe, but if you can’t find them or don’t want to use them, using regular old mini marshmallows, is A-OK. I really hope everyone has a fantastic Monday and as always, thank you all so much for stopping by!!! 
I almost don’t even want to admit where I got this recipe, because y’all, this one came straight off the top of the Jif Whips Peanut Butter container. BTW just so y’all know, the Jif Whips Peanut Butter is the freaking bee’s knees, and no I’m not being paid or sponsored to say that, but I love you guys and want you to know how good it is. 
Not only is the texture nice and whipped and fluffy, but it’s also slightly lower in fat, calories and carbs than regular peanut butter. I put 1/2 a serving of it in my oatmeal almost every morning, and it’s pure magic, like I literally take as long as possible to eat it because it’s so delicious. Anyways, back to this delicious dessert dip. The top of the peanut butter container had this recipe on it, but they called it an orange peanut butter dip because their original recipe had orange marmalade in it, and honestly I wasn’t really feeling that so I substituted raspberry jelly instead. 
Let me tell you guys, if you love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, you’re gonna freaking love this dip. It tastes like a more decadent (thank you Cool Whip) peanut butter and jelly sandwich, that you then get to dip pretzels (or cookies or fruit) in, drooool. I also may have doubled the amount of Cool Whip, because, why not? If you’re looking for something super easy and fun to make tonight or this weekend, I definitely recommend this glorious dip. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!
A big heck yes! Honestly, the offer couldn’t have come at a better time. When I say that I have had & will have at least 2 or more birthdays a week among friends and family in the month of July and August I’m soo not exaggerating. I have been to more parties, BBQ’s & shing digs in the last month than all year combined. 
I’m not at all complaining, but sometimes ideas for what to bring either as a hostess gift or an actual gift start to run dry. I’m always happy to make something to bring, but with the sheer number of events I’ve had to go to, sometimes (a lot of the time) there is just not enough time to even think about preparing something, and y’all, it’s hot here, I just don’t want to turn that oven on right now haha. 
I cannot believe I never thought of bringing something so delicious, fresh and beautiful as a fruit bouquet. I mean, come on, they have some of the cutest little smiley face pineapples, or chocolate covered strawberries that look like baseballs, seriously I cannot resist.
The chocolate & birthday sprinkle covered pineapples that came in my bouquet were so darn delicious, and obviously so cool to look at. I’m thrilled I have all of my gift/hostess bases covered for the remainder of this very hot summer. I cannot recommend enough heading over to their 
Not too long ago, I was at a birthday party and the lovely hostess was serving these meatballs. Now, I’m not normally a giant meatball fan, I’m not saying I dislike them or anything, they’re just not a normal go-to cheat day delight, because #doughnuts and #pizza. Well, these meatballs are a different story, and I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that these have that sweet & salty thing going on. When I started raving to the hostess about how much I just loooved these meatballs, she started laughing and said that these were hands down one of the simplest recipes ever and would be happy to give it to me. 
Apparently, this is one of those dishes that has been bouncing around for forever and somehow I have managed to miss it. Well, I must say that I’m super stoked that this recipe has finally found it’s way to me, because these are so freaking good y’all. The sheer lack of ingredients had me checking to make sure I hadn’t missed anything, but these have just 3 darn ingredients and that is it, doesn’t get much better than that y’all. Anyways, I hope y’all get to enjoy these bad boys soon and good luck to everyone headed back to school this week. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!! 
As you will see in one of my pictures below, it literally deflated under the weight of the meringue, womp womp. Speaking of meringue, that is a totally different story. The recipe for this meringue is different than any I’ve seen and it turned out 100% perfect. Not only was it delicious & beautiful, but it was stinking easy to make, like, if I can make this meringue, anyone can. In the future I will certainly be placing this meringue on top of my 
I also thought I would rig the crust with Biscoff cookies (some of my favs) to change it up a bit, but I think I messed up the ratio of butter to cookie/cracker and it was a bit soggier than I had hoped-again, I am not a professional haha. Anyways, I spent quite a bit of time making this concoction so I figured I might as well post it, and the meringue recipe alone is worth it. Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and good luck to all of the teachers, students and parents that are starting back Monday-which, in my humble little opinion is wwaaayy too early to be going back to school, but what the heck do I know? Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
