guilty pleasures

[sladejw]

Cadbury cream eggs. Deep fried cookie dough. Greasy bacon cheeseburgers. Sour patch kids. Fake movie theater butter.

[chasea]

Mozzarella sticks. Have I said mozzarella sticks?

Mozzarella sticks.

[AJPM44]

Annies Mac n Cheese with Srirancha dressing. That is ranch mixed with sriracha. Total game changer.

[Auk]

Peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets.

[KonaSS]

Peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets.

My neighbor gave us something like a 2 gallon bucket of these things and we had eaten a few, but I didn't think my family would be able to finish them off.

We had some friends over and needed something to snack on, so I took the pretzel nuggets, and gave them the Chex Mix Puppy Chow treatment. Which is basically covering them in melted chocolate/peanut butter, and then lightly coat with powdered sugar.

Oh My Gawd. 2 gallon bucket was empty within a couple hours.

Despite it tying the room together, I was getting tired of Kahlua. Then I found this recommended in "The Blue Bottle Craft of Coffee":

Santa Teresa Araku from Venzuela (RON SANTA TERESA)

Reminder of the OP:

I'm an enthusiastic home cook and wine guy, but there is some serious crap I love. What's your guilty pleasure? Note: a prime ribeye with fries and creamed spinach doesn't count. I'm talking culinary abominations. Think grape soda and moon pies (together). Mine? onion dip and ruffles. You know, lipton onion soup mixed with sour cream. One taste and I cannot stop. Once started, if a doctor were to tell me one more chip would kill me, I would choose death. What horrible crap do you like?

Guys, peanut butter pretzels and artisanal coffee liquers do not count. Those are high-brow.

A recent favorite: bacon cooked in pan > eggs cooked in bacon grease > turn off heat > TJ's raspberry preserve and some generic store-branded hot sauce go in the remaining bacon fat. Stir it up, let it sizzle, then drizzle it over the eggs. Divine.

Do bar-b-que beef Hot Pockets count? I won't walk down the frozen foods isle for fear of a relapse.

[Jeffrey Borisch]

take one rice cake, spread cheez-whiz on it, top with slice of salami, bake until ready.

hot pockets. seriously, i'm like matt s - won't walk down the frozen aisle because if I do, a box of Philly Cheesesteak Hot Pockets will jump into my basket and they'll find me 6 months later, stuck to my couch, after the neighbor reports a smell. so bad they're good.

[echelon_john]

Bought these on a road trip. Holy crap--so disgustingly good. Bought more at the next gas fillup, and some Mountain Dew to wash them down. Heaven.

Yep. Same deal with the 7-layer dip ones. Gah.

[maunahaole]

Sabor con Jamon potato chips that we got in Spain. Good thing they are not available here.

[Dorman]

Cheap frozen pizza. Tons of BBQ sauce and pickled jalapenos.

[Dorman]

Dark chocolate covered gummi bears.

[derailer]

Jelly Belly jelly beans. I just got into these things (maybe from reading this thread?) and I'm hooked. I take a Nuun tube full of jelly beans with me on my rides. Then I typically eat whatever's left in the bag when I get home.
