It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for the Share Our lives link up.
This month for the Share Our Lives link up we're sharing some of our favorite sweet tooth cravings.
Funny enough I don't remember having much of a sweet tooth until after I had kids of my own. I actually didn't like cake as a kid and I never much cared for chocolate even as a teen.
I don't know if it was pregnancy or what but I went from being the person that would rather eat French fries or potato chips and other savory snacks to craving sweets ALL the time!
I try really hard to curb that craving though and rarely "let" myself indulge but when I do I've got lots of favorites to pick from:
Chocolate-- I don't like much plain chocolate but I do like dark chocolate and Lindt truffles but I prefer my chocolate mixed with something like...
peanut butter pairings like Nutty Bars, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, peanut butter cookies with Hershey Kisses on top.
Caramel pairings like Rolos, Ghirardelli squares, chocolate/caramel cookies, Twix.
Raspberry pairings like
this chocolate raspberry cake Alec has made me for my birthday a couple of times now. And the amazing raspberry cheesecake bites he made for the 4th of July one year. I also really like Kit Kats, Butterfinger, Cadbury mini eggs, Heath bars, peanut butter M&M's, Caramel M&M's, & Cold brew caramel M&M's (I don't really like any other M&M's varieties).


Ice cream! My favorite flavors are those with lots of chunks of candy and chewy/crunchy things in them like Moose Tracks (vanilla ice cream w/ peanut butter/chocolate), Maine Black Bear (vanilla ice cream with raspberry/chocolate), Cookie Jar (vanilla ice cream with M&M. Oreo, Peanut butter cups, & more!),

Cheesecake!! I love cheesecake of all kinds.
 |

A good homemade cake (or cupcake!) with homemade frosting-- some of our favorites through the years include:
 |
chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache |
Tiramisu
 |
we also made a lemon tiramisu for my mom's 70th and I was so surprised that we really enjoyed that too! |
Brownies and brownie sundaes
Cookies and cookie bars!
 |
Christmas crack (which we make year round with different colors/ or no sprinkles) |
Caramel apples or chocolate covered apples (or both mixed together!)
Pie-- especially apple, peanut butter pie, Tollhouse pie, & chocolate chip pecan pie
Carmel or candy coated popcorn
A few sweets I never eat-- anything gummy. I hate the texture of gummy bears or gummy worms or any of those gummy/chewy fruit snacks like Starburst, Jujy fruits, Swedish fish, etc. I don't like marshmallow so I don't eat anything s'mores or rocky road. I'm not a big fan of nougat so I rarely eat anything like 3 Musketeers or filled chocolate candies.
I hope you'll join us next month when we look at Where do you Shop?

Oh, I am waking up craving all these goodies! Such good recipies you have. I am going to save some for when I have a crowd so I don't eat it all :).
ReplyDeleteWe try to only make sweets when we have others to share with too; just so I don't eat too many of them.
DeleteSo many great sweet treats- love all of the pictures and recipe links. I have never made a poke cake before- the Oreo one you have a picture for looks like a good one to start with! If I hadn´t eaten so many sweets over the weekend, I would be apt to indulge today looking at these pictures. I am nuts over gummies- I wish I didn´t like anything gummy or gel-like, lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Poke cakes can be lots of fun and there is an endless variety of pairings.
DeleteIs there any better combo than pb and choc? I am going to need to do those buckeye cookies! i love buckeyes so much!
ReplyDeleteI don't think so! That is the best pairing. We love buckeyes too.
DeleteGosh, you have shared some delicious treats! Chocolate and ice cream girl here, but I do love plain or dark chocolate, not candies. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteThese all look so good! I am a sweet tooth person!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOMG!! this blog post is dangerous. I am a sugar lover (although I try to keep away from it) and these pictures are making me drool - my downfall is plain M & M's of course I never turn down cake or cookies or ice cream. It's good that I'm gluten-free so when I'm out, I usually can't eat it and baked goods - which is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSorry! LOL. It is definitely dangerous to see so many sweet treats in one place.
DeleteIf I ever need dessert inspiration, I know to come to this blog because you always have the best! Chocolate is my kryptonite :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteI agree! I don't eat much chewy candy and I like my chocolate mixed with peanut butter or caramel! I also never say no to ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI will say no... occasionally... but only because it can make me feel rather sick afterwards.
DeleteI'm not a big ice cream eater, but I do love a chocolate raspberry cake combination. Every year my hubs gets me a dark chocolate cake with raspberry filling and a chocolate ganache topping. My favorite! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI never used to eat much ice cream; I thought my father and grandmother were nuts when they used to offer me ice cream in winter.. but I'm starting to get it now! I still try to only eat ice cream in the summer though. But I can't pass up anything that has the dark chocolate/raspberry combo of flavors. That cake sounds wonderful and just like my favorite one!
DeleteAll of this looks so good!! Now I want to eat all the cookies!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteWOW, that is quite the lineup of crave worthy eats!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteSoooo when are you starting your food blog again? haha Always the best food pics!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thank you! I am trying to get better about sharing recipes more frequently.
DeleteJoanne, this is such fun theme this month. I love all of your sweet treats and the cookies look so good. I can't wait to try some of your cookie recipes.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteThis is such a fun post. Vicariously, I enjoyed every single treat. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteThose are the best, calorie-free kind!
DeleteOh man everything looks so good!! I've been eating a lot of dried mangoes lately and they are great for a sweet tooth.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried those; I'll have to look for some.
DeleteOh man! Now I want to eat ALL the sweet things! Those buckeyes look phenomenal!
ReplyDeletewww.lovinglifemoore.com
Sorry!
DeleteAhh! I have always loved sweet treats! Lindt chocolate is my favourite, it is so indulgent. Those raspberry cheesecake bites look amazing and the ice cream too. I would happily go for the chocolate one with raspberry swirls. My mouth is watering after reading your post. I want something sweet to eat now.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I nearly stopped to buy something chocolatey today.
Deleteoh my I'm literally dribbling at the thought of all these lovely treats. I'm definitely pinning this post and working my way through as many as I can. I love your cheesecake recipes, nah, I love all of these! mmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteAw, I hope you enjoy them!
DeleteNow I'm hungry!! So many good things!
ReplyDeleteIt made me hungry pulling this post together!
DeleteDid you know that I used to work at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory store when I was in dental school. I was able to bring the broken pieces home and my teammate at school blames me for her weigh gain, haha.
ReplyDeleteBut we used to dip the gummy bears in the melted chocolate. That's the way to eat them, haha.
XOXO
Jodie
I didn't know that! That sound have been very dangerous. Even dipped in chocolate I wouldn't want to eat gummy bears.
DeleteOh my - that was both torturous and delicious! So many wonderful looking treats! I also love dark chocolate...and anything chocolate paired with peanut butter is absolutely the best!! So many yummy desserts!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI didn't think I had that much of a sweet tooth, but looking at all that chocolate, icecream, and cake....well, it turns out that I do. I think I'm just grateful that I don't have easy access to really delicious treats, and that saves my waistline and my tooth enamel!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is definitely something to be thankful for!
DeleteI have always had a sweet tooth, and this post has made me crave even more! Have you tried peanut butter M & M's? They are wonderful! I just realized I'm a bit like you. I can eat plain chocolate candy, but I much prefer it with something added!
ReplyDeletehttps://marshainthemiddle.com/
Oh yes, I love peanut butter M&M's too.
DeleteOh my! MY mouth is wateringlooking at all thses delicious treats--I am a choclate lover --especially dark chocolate.
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate is my favorite too!
Deleteso many delicious looking sweets. Now im hungry
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAll of these treats look so yummy! I've always had a huge sweet tooth, but mine faded a bit a couple of years. I guess that's a good thing! Haha.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAll of my resolve of being good just melted away. Now I am wondering if I want to bake cake or bread pudding.
ReplyDelete-Soma
I'm so sorry! I was hard to write this list and not start craving all the sweets.
DeleteSome very tempting pictures! I prefer savoury to sweet but I do love Lindor chocs, and also a traditional UK bread and butter pudding! Thanks for linking
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteI forgot to add how much I love the Lindt truffles -- but really only the milk or dark chocolate plain ones. And I do love a good cheesecake too!
ReplyDeleteThe dark chocolate one are my favorites too.
DeleteThey all look yummy. MooseTracks Ice Cream is the bomb.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!
DeleteI have a sweet tooth, too, and I like chocolate-nut combinations as well as chocolate-raspberry/orange/strawberry. Ice cream for me needs to have chunks like nuts, cheesecake, etc. Yum! Thanks for sharing this post with us at the Will Blog for Comments #49! We hope you'll be back next week at #50 sharing more. :) Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYes, I don't like plain, smooth ice cream.. there has got to be some sort of chunks of some kind in it.
