somethin’ sweet

Although I do believe in moderation, I don’t believe in skipping dessert. There are too many incredible treats out there to even contemplate passing them up. Mile-high mud pie, vanilla ice cream with a scoop of peanut butter, those Costco cakes with the cream cheese filling, whole sleeves of Girl Scout cookies—why on earth would you want to miss out? I think a great meal just begs for a bite of somethin’ sweet to finish it off. It was hard to choose only ten options for this section, but rest assured, these are ten of my best. These cookies, puddings, pies, and cakes have been doctored, decorated, and passed down from one generation to the next. Enjoy them with your afternoon cup of coffee or as your midnight snack, so long as you enjoy them. Life is too short not to have some sugar once in a while.
