Hi Everyone, out of appreciation for everyone’s great comments and emails I’m excited to have my very first Picky Palate Givaway! I’m no Oprah, but I’m giving away 3 separate prizes, here’s what you do…
Since, I have a terrible sweet tooth, I thought it’d be fun to hear what everyone else’s “sweetest” weakness is. Maybe I won’t feel so bad about mine! So, post a comment (one comment per person) with your favorite treat that you just can’t resist. Make sure your email is there so I can contact you if you are chosen as a winner.
Hurry, you’ve got until Monday the 23rd at midnight, then I’ll randomly pick 3 winners and post the outcome Tuesday morning. Can’t wait to hear about all your favorite indulgences!
I’ll go first……I can never resist a good Dark Dark Chocolate bar or the gooey pizza cookie with lots of vanilla bean ice cream. Good Luck Everyone!Prize #1
2 All Clad Oval Bakers
These are great little bakers. I love them for mac and cheese, roasting potatoes/veggis, you name it, they are awesome!
Prize #2
The Chocolate Deck by Lori Longbotham, 50 great looking picture/recipe cards of fabulous chocolate recipes
Prize 3
A church cookbook that I helped put together over a 2 year period that turned out great. I love all the family friendly recipes it has inside.
Thermador Taste of America 50th Anniversary Cookbook. I was lucky enough to have one of my recipes published in this gorgeous cookbook. It has some of the most beautiful photography I’ve seen. I hold this book near and dear. You’ll love it!
Mine is banana cake. It’s basically a banana bread recipe with yummy, thick cream cheese frosting. My mouth is watering now! Ha!
My email is enelson013@aol.com
I love Junior Mints straight from the freezer! I also keep a bag of cookie dough in the fridge for a quick snack any old time. 🙂
p.s. We just had your lasagna ciabattas and we LOVED them!! Thanks for the great food ideas!
One of my guilty pleasures is a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with a hot chocolate sauce and then a nice amount of kahlua. Crumble some vanilla wafers on top and dig in. Yummy!!
My favorite are cookies called Coated Cookie Drops, but we like to call them moose poop! They’re an oreo and cream cheese mixture, then coated in white or milk chocolate to look like a truffle. They taste divine!
Right now I’d have to say I’m loving fresh apple cake with carmel sauce. Yum.
I Love, love molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream!
Jenny,
Mmmm, I’d have to say brownies. Fudgy, chewy brownies!
I just found your blog last week but there are MANY of your recipes I want to try.
One of my favorite “guilty pleasures” is a cool, creamy lemon pudding pie, especially during the summer! Here is the recipe if you want to give it a whirl:
1 graham cracker crust
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (16 oz.) container cool whip (split)
1 box lemon pudding (cook or instant both work) prepared according to package directions
Whip together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and half of the cool whip (reserve the other half). Spread in the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Prepare the pudding and spread that on top of the cream cheese layer. Put pie in fridge to set. Top with remaining cool whip before serving. Yum!
My husband usually gets one piece of this, the night I serve it. If he is lucky, there MIGHT be one piece left when he comes home from work the next day! You can also make this a chocolate pie, just substitute an oreo crust and chocolate pudding for the graham cracker crust and lemon pudding. Hope you like it as much as I do!

my sweetest treat are oreo balls. the recipe is from kraft foods. i think you posted the recipe with a nutty butter twist as well. absolutely delish. i bring them everywhere. ericab2001@yahoo.com
My definite weakness is a waffle cone bowl with Breyer’s Vanilla Ice Cream *with real vanilla bean specks lol* and caramel fudge topping and plenty of sprinkles!! znw2 at mac dot com
There is nothing better than warm chocolate chip cookies!
I love many home baked goodies (peanut butter cookie with chocolate chips is a biggie) but I am always looking for a fix on my chocolate frosty addiction. Oh Wendy’s, how you hook me!

My favorite thing that I cannot pass up is Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Love your blog! I’ve made quite a few of your recipes. Like many here, I love the peanut butter and chocolate combination. However, my favorite is anything that has coconut in it. I love coconut with chocolate and I especially love it in my drink. Put coconut rum in any drink and I will probably like it. 🙂

Thanks!

OK i LOVE cinnamon bears and brownies with ice cream and chocolate sauce. I would eat this everyday if i thought it was even remotely healthy.
Hmm…so many indulgences: chocolate almond ice cream, a good chocolate chip oatmeal cookie, strawberry shortcake. Ohh, now I am hungry!

my guilty pleasure is usually anything with chocolate, but inparticular just a plain ole hershey bar!
the one guilty pleasure i cannot overcome: cream cheese frosting, no cake required. 🙂
There is nothing in the world like Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chip ice cream!!! It’s made right here in Ohio and Oprah featured it as one of her favorite things. There is a Graeter’s right down the street from my office, and I give myself a little pat on the back everytime I can manage to drive by without stopping!
Thanks Jenny!
I grew up loving a good chocolate chip cookie, crisp outside, chewy inside…and sugar cookies with sprinkles. I have since had to cut down on sugars, but I can break for a rice krispy treat from time to time. Love brownies too. For a treat though, I will have a piece of good dark chocolate.
HUGE chocolate chip cookies with semi-sweet chocolate chips, for sure!!! And they HAVE to be CHEWY–or forget it! Also love love love french fries. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Mmmm. a dot erickson at century 21 dot com
Mine is M&M’s or Dove milk chocolate with caramel. I’m a sucker for milk chocolate.
The prizes look great. I actually have the ward cookbook given to me by my best cousin Shannon. I loovvee it!
Mine favorite is chocolate covered anything…bananas, strawberries, mashmellow…anything!
Love your blog!

Oh, there are soooo many! One of my big ones is peanut butter brownies as posted by Smitten Kitchen. Oh, I could (and do, unfortunately) eat those all day!

Peanut Butter M&Ms. Chocolate covered pretzels.
I will be forever a S’mores gal. Whether it’s a true s’more with the marshmallow roasted over a campfire, or simply just heated in my microwave. I love s’mores!!!!

Once I get my crew all down at night and I have a little time to myself, I love to make pie crust pockets. I mix up a half recipe of pie dough, roll it out, sprinkle with white & brown sugar and some cinnamon, fold over like a quesadilla, and bake. Delicious!
I love your site but have never commented…now’s as good a time as any! 🙂 I don’t know if I can pick just ONE sweet treat…as long as it has chocolate, I’m happy!…and a little ice cream on the side doesn’t hurt! 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway! bree927 at yahoo dot com.
My favorite is mint chocolate chip ice cream on warm brownies…mmm!
smidgie421@gmail.com
I am not sure there is much better than a big piece of texas chocolate sheet cake with a tall glass of milk…mmmm! cashleym(at)gmail(dot)com
As simply and child-like they are, I can not resist homemade rice-krispy treats. There is just something about them, I can’t ever stop eating them!
Great giveaway!!

My indulgence… Butterscotch squares from See’s candy! They are the most amazing chocolate I have ever eaten. While I was pregnant I at so much and it is probably why I gained so much weight! I’m not kidding, I lost 41 pounds in the first week after I had my daughter. Mostly water weight but still it couldn’t have helped! 379 comments Including me! That is a whole lot of comments to read! I say good luck to you!-itsmemeganlee at yahoo
I LOVE anything chocolate – and actually lately my guilty pleasure has been your Oreo truffles!! Divine!!
It’s hard to narrow my guilty pleasure but if I have to ‘narrow’ it down, it would be almost anything with yeast! Cinnamon rolls, homemade bread, breadsticks…you name it, I love breads and yeast.
Also love your blog, anything I’ve tried has been great!
