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

My favorite dessert is definitely cheesecake!

Hmm..this is hard when I have so many(sad, I know but it’s the truth). I LOVE LOVE LOVE cake batter ice cream with crushed up pretzels, topped with chocolate and caramel sauce. TOO DIE FOR, I dare you to try it:)
there is a special shaved ice shack I take guilty pleasure in visiting nearly everyday! I am pregnant right now and I can’t get enough peanut butter I like to mix it with honey or karo syrup and eat it with a spoon. Yum Yum!

A molten chocolate cake right out of the oven so it is nice and warm and still gooey. And if I really feel dangerous, some caramel icing on it.

Holy Cow Jenny, there are a LOT of comments on here! Great giveaway, geez! It makes the giveaway I’m doing next week look very small! But how fun! My guilty pleasure is a new place I discovered called Red Mango. it’s the most delicious frozen yogurt in the whole world.

My sweet guilty pleasure (even though I never feel guilty) is baci. They are Italian chocolates with hazelnuts and are delicious!!!
Oh my, i’d say I’m a sucker for anything chocolate. I’d almost say anything sweet but I HAVE to narrow it down a little!

Rice Krispee Treats. Seriously they can be the plain jane kind and I devour a whole pan of them. Even better with some peanut butter and chocolate mixed in.

I #513 LUCKY?

My guilty pleasures incluede my Mimi’s cheesecake, peach cobbler, dark chocolate guiness cake, and yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting. Mmmm…this is just churning my sweet tooth! koryshar@yahoo.com
I am craving my Grandma’s Sticky Cake(Chocolate Cake with white sticky frosting made out of egg whites and corn syrup) YUM! AND don’t forget the ice cream!
I love cake…most kinds of cake. Especially a thick chocolate multi-layer with lots of gooy frosting.
My favorite guilty pleasure would have to be chocolate molten cake with vanilla bean ice cream! I also LOVE chocolate chip banana bread pudding. So fun! Can’t believe how many comments you got! 🙂

Anything chocolate and peanut butter! But Reese’s PB cups are my top pick…can’t resist! email: oodalolly@aol.com
I CAN NOT resist the most indulging sweetness there is: HOME-MADE Vanilla Icecream on the side of Grandma’s famous chocolately-rich Turtle Cake! Delicious, now I want to make some. :)Amazingly Fun Idea!!! russandmeg@gmail.com
How fun! My ultimate favorite dessert is raspberry cheesecake with chocolate ganache. However, I’m pretty much a sucker for any type of dessert, especially chocolate, so that’s why I don’t make desserts very often. If they’re on the counter, I will eat them…STAT! My secret weapon is always having a stash of chocolate chips in the cupboard. Whenever I’m having a chocolate emergency (I’m sure you know what those are!) I can reach for a few chocolate chips to satisfy my urge without going overboard and feeling guilty.

I only read through 200 of the posts so far, so I hope I’m not repeating.
When we have a craving for something sweet, we *YELP* drive to Red Robin and get the Mile High Mud Pie. I know, its terrible that it’s not even homemade.
I’ve contemplated trying to make my own version of it, but with all of the different layers that make up this 8″ high delicacy (the peanut butter ice cream, the chocolate cookie crumbles, rich chocolate ice cream, gooey caramel, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry on top) why mess with perfection, you know?
You have kids and I am sure you have been there before. I would definitely encourage you to try it-use forks or you will knock it over-and I know you will be able to replicate it for the good of all mankind!
If you see the crazy family in jammies skipping dinner and heading for dessert-that’s us! 🙂
My guilty pleasures would include my homemade banana bread with a streusel nut topping. Yum. Also, homemade microwave caramel but my Aunt Gerry has to make them. There was nothing in the directions that said you couldn’t use a plastic bowl. New favorite-your peanut butter cup cheesecake bars. I made them yesterday and they were a huge hit!!
My favorite guilty pleasure would be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, kinda boring but oh so yummy!
anything with peanut butter and chocolate. YUMMMM!
