Here is the short list of things I find disgusting even though they are sweet. Peeps. Cream Eggs from Cadbury, chocolate-covered cherries, and circus peanuts. I will also give an honorable mention to peppermints. Which I will suck on sometimes if I want to freshen my breath, but otherwise will leave alone. For one reason or another all of these things are just gross in my eyes.
The snotty inside of the creme eggs and chocolate covered cherries or the texture of the peeps or circus peanuts. Just yuck.
I do have a much better list to speak of. At the top of the list is cookies. I love Oreos, and I love chocolate chip cookies. An interesting note here is both of these cookies come in the sugar free or no sugar added variety. And when I have cookies I have to dip them in the milk. I prefer to use almond milk. It is unsweetened and it tastes good compared to real milk which I find actually to be disgusting. I get the kind that has a vanilla taste and comes in a box. Just a fun fact to know about me.
The problem with the sugar free Oreos is that even when you soak them in milk they just will not soften up. So if I'm going to do sugar free cookies I usually get the chocolate chip cookies. I will put them all in a bowl with the milk and eat them like cereal. Mostly because if you dip them you will ultimately spill the milk and get your fingers wet. And I ask you, who needs that kind of pressure? The next on the list is Hershey's milk chocolate. Not white chocolate, not dark chocolate, because both of those are disgusting. Just milk chocolate. I can eat it in the form of a chocolate bar or a chocolate kiss. Or even a chocolate Easter Bunny or something of that nature.
It's all good if it's chocolate. Generally with nothing hiding in the center but I will accept it if it was caramel. That's some good stuff too.
And after that I would eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. they make those in the standard size. They also come in larger, and smaller sizes. and yes they also make them in the sugar-free variety. Which I will sometimes get. Although they do tend to taste a little bit chalky. It is less sugar, and a little bit less calories. And if you ever have indulged in sweets and you love them it's worth it if sugar is a concern for you. Because it is for me.
And I also love ice cream. Yes, that also comes in the sugar free or no sugar added variety. I do enjoy the real thing. But I get that sugar free not quite as good as the real thing kind most of the time because I am trying to be good at that particular time.
My favorite flavors are rocky road and cookies and cream. Although those aren't the only flavors I will eat. I am more flexible on that than most things.
Couldn't tell you why exactly. If I were to guess I would say because it's all cold and has similar texture but that's just off the top of my head.
I also love cupcakes. If I had to pick one I would always say chocolate. I will go for a lot less varieties in this category than with the ice cream.
And last but not least I'm going to give an honorable mention to butterscotch. It's just a simple little candy but when you need a little taste of sweet to fulfill the needs of your sweet tooth.
Why do we love our sweets? I can only say that maybe it's a lot like comfort food. They release all of those happy chemicals in our brains. The pure pleasure and maybe even a bit of naughtiness in that sweet indulgence. But I'm just guessing.
I know there wasn't anything all that interesting or mind blowing about my list. It's just shows you how much I enjoy sweets more than most other types of food.
And I hope I try something new soon that I will be able to write all about. But until that time comes.
Eat well.
These are a few of my favorite things. Copied from somewhere.
