I personally go for Sour Apple and Caramel, hence creating my favorite carnival treat. It is definitely one of those foods I pass off on my boyfriend, and say "EAT" in the most demanding tone I can muster so he'll get it away from me. Sometimes it works, and sometimes I find myself in a power battle over the food I've already given to him. Well, we all can't be sane. If we were all normal, how could we tell who the crazy ones were? In Albuquerque they have a store that sells popcorn in these ridiculous flavors like Strawberry and Swiss cheese.

The whole point of trail mix is it seems so healthy (peanuts, raisins), but then you get that kick of chocolate in every handful. Selling without the M&Ms is a crime against nature and humanity.

I understood you perfectly. It's all about indulgence. I'm glad I'm off of chocolate right now, because I would have been right there with you on the trail mix--one of my particular downfalls.

Hahaha! It made perfect sense in my head!!

Only, they didn't sell the kind with the M&Ms in them, so I had to buy a bag of trail mix and a bag of M&Ms then mix them all up! It was fantabulous!!

I hope we never ever meet. That said, what wonderful combos you've listed here. I both love them and run from them. Please don't tempt me. (By the way, BBQ chips for SURE.)

I am volunteering to be your sponsor so next time the urge hits, please call me. I will either help you to step away from the forbidden substance, or I'll help you polish it off. By the way, the recipe sounds delicious-would you recommend cheese doodles (the curly ones I mean) or BBQ potato chips as an accompaniment?
