Cinnamon rolls with apple pie filling.

Beloved child of God, have you never had an apple fritter?

MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 321d

❤️fritters.

bizarroland@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 321d (3 replies)

Fritters are fried, cinnamon rolls are baked.

Also, fritters typically have a sugary coating whereas cinnamon rolls have cream cheese coating on them.

Very similar, but also very different.

Addendum, if you put buttercream icing on a cinnamon roll, you deserve to go to the seventh circle of hell.

Also, cinnamon rolls have raisins in them.

Something that tastes like chocolate but is healthy.

Nemo@slrpnk.net · 11 pts · 321d (1 reply)

So, dark chocolate?

GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 321d

Okay you got me there, i was more thinking of milk chocolate lol

Basically chocolate with all the good stuff only found in veggies

Nemo@slrpnk.net · 6 pts · 321d (5 replies)

Something in that "crunchy outside / chewy inside" lane like cacahuates japoneses or Nerds gummy clusters or Mentos, for sure. But ideally with the flavor of eggs on toast.

Armadillos!

Haha, reminds me of that Peruvian snack "canchas," which is like baked or fried extra-large corn kernals. Super crunchy and delicious, but I'm not sure if they're best for one's health, plus they can be a bit bland in taste for visitors, yadda-yadda.

EDIT: Oh, right, dammit. There's indeed a version in the USA called "Corn Nuts," yeah?

Nemo@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 321d (1 reply)

Except corn nuts tend to be so seasoned they contain 1000% of your daily sodium.

JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social · 2 pts · 321d

True dat!

Like, "amor culpabilis" in very action. 😅

Canchitas are awesome! You get a little ramikin at Peruvian restaurants like you might get chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant.

Bite sized chicken pot pies

themeatbridge@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 320d (1 reply)

Like a mini hot pocket or more like an arancini?

Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 320d

Like an amuse bouche

clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 321d

Oh wow I love this idea.

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 4 pts · 321d (4 replies)

Chocolate covered pringles. They'd be amazing

clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 321d (1 reply)

I bet they would be. Or just dip one end like those French cookies?

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 321d

I like this idea

Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 320d (1 reply)

They exist! I don't know if Pringles makes any themselves, but there are a bunch of copycat brands that sell them that you can find online.

They're... okay. The coating completely overwhelms the chip so it mostly just tastes like salted chocolate. Not bad, but nowhere near worth what they charge for the things.

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 320d

Oh interesting! If they're underwhelming I might stick to eating pringles at the same time

Something with the consistency of a chocolate bar, so that you can melt and pour on other food, that tastes like garlic bread with cheese

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 321d (2 replies)

Garlic butter. You've invented garlic butter.

ICastFist@programming.dev · 4 pts · 321d (1 reply)

brb, patenting my new invention :D

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 321d

I hope you make a brazillion bucks!

themeatbridge@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 320d

Itt a bunch of people learning about things that exist, and it's great!

Obi@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 320d

The definition of snack is so wide, I'm pretty sure most of us invent snacks regularly.

ptc075@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 320d (1 reply)

I've never liked S'mores. Yeah, I know, marshmellow just isn't my thing. But it feels to me like there ought to be a Graham cracker + chocolate + peanut or peanut butter combo out there that would synergize with sitting around a campfire. I've just never figured it out. Best I can come up with is peanut butter on Graham crackers dipped in chocolate fondue.

LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 320d

I will join you in the peanut butter. I like smores but chocolate and peanut butter is far superior

A gluten-free, cow's milk-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free and seed oil-free cracker, with the fat and emulsion coming from beef tallow (seed oils have high amounts of linoleic acid, which is horrible for everyone). I'd use goat's milk for something (if I wanted something creamy), or use that and find a good recipe for a goat's milk cream cheese that I'd spread on said crackers.

Like a soup dumplings but it's ramen.
