I have a major sweet tooth, especially after eating halloween candy for a week straight. The thing about sugar is that the more you eat the more you want. No promises on the science behind that statement, but it really seems true. Sometimes you have to be strong and just say no to the sweet stuff. And sometimes you have to gather up everything remotely dessert-y laying around your house and invent a food by melting all of them together. Tonight was a melt-everything-together night.
– 12 tootsie rolls
– some peanut butter. probably 1/2 a cup
– graham cracker crumbs, 1/8 to 1/4 cup
– 2 Tbsp. butter
– 1/4 c. powdered sugar.
– some soy milk. or regular milk. maybe 3 Tbsp.
As always, the measurements are guesstimates. Just use your best judgement.
1) Melt the butter. add the cracker crumbs. stir, press into bottom of a bowl.
2) mix the peanut butter and the powdered sugar. add those ones to the bowl.
3) microwave the tootsie rolls and (soy) milk for 30 seconds, then stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds. pour the chocolatey goodness over the peanut butter.
4) freeze for 10 minutes. or 5. or however long you can wait before freaking out because delicious goodness awaits you.

Why is this good? well. it tastes delicious (what up, powdered suger and butter??).
But is it healthy? ahhhh….it’s not. not really. It’s good in the sense that it uses up any extra tootsie rolls you have laying around! thank god we finally have a solution for that pressing problem. and there’s a little bit of protein from the peanut butter. but it’s a whole lot of sugar and fat.
So why did you make it? because sometimes, you just have to eat delicious, not-healthy things. if you don’t actually eat what you want, you usually eat a million other things you kind of want. again, can’t guarantee the science on that.
I don’t have any tootsie rolls. that makes sense…because normal humans don’t have bags of tootsie rolls laying around…the moral of this post is that sometimes you have to eat dessert, and if you don’t have enough ingredients for a real recipe, just melt everything together, maybe in layers. it’s quick and helps you clean out some of those strange dessert-y things you have laying around.
