That was close to the Portillos I used to go to growing up

This was more or less than halfway point between my childhood home and my grandmother's apartment. Very alluring, but I never had the pleasure.

For breakfast this morning, I had this week's Caramel Pumpkin cookie from Crumbl. It was pretty good--hard to mess up a cookie when it's got that caramel cream cheese frosting on top of it--but I'm really not that crazy about pumpkin flavored treats, so I would have liked it more with a different cookie as the base.

Today's breakfast Crumbl cookie: Raspberry Butter Cake.
This one is WAY better than Caramel Pumpkin.

NYT posted a recipe for apple cider donuts that I really want to make, but holy hell the full batch calls for 2 sticks of butter, so maybe I'll need to scale it back a bit.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Butter = delicious.
Does it make a huge batch or do you just not like butter very much?

Butter is delicious but that's over the top for me. I'm generally not a huge dessert guy, but apple cider donuts have been a huge exception since I was a kid.

Two sticks of butter doesn't really seem like that much, tbh.
I remember when I was younger, a friend of mine got a recipe for a really good cake that she had tried. Once she got the recipe, she understood exactly why the cake was so delicious: FOUR STICKS OF BUTTER.

Pound cake = 4 sticks of butter (hence the name) = delicious.

The Lays chili cheese fritos potato chips were good at first, but after eating a few, it became too much. Better flavor for corn chips, methinks.

I’ve still only tried the Cheeto lays, haven’t been able to find the chili cheese near me.
I did try this year’s VooDew and it’s the closest I’ve come to liking any of them, though I couldn’t drink a full can. I didn’t have the first year which was supposedly the best one prior to this but 2 and 3 were so heinously bad, nearly as bad as the Ginger Snapp’d flavor from last Christmas.

Doughnuts are really easy to make vegan so you could probably replace some or all of the butter with a neutral oil if that feels better. *edit* they have another recipe on their site that only uses four tablespoons of butter (but it's fried) *further edited* bc the original recipe for baked doughnuts had a yield of 12 so my maths was off

Wasn’t particularly thrilled with the Baja variants this summer. I will say the berry flavored one at circle K was probably the best though. Pitch black coming back in January according to rumors

Why are people trying to ruin donuts in the snack food thread

Speaking of donuts, Firecakes' "gluten-friendly"/vegan donut is really good. It's very rich, like you're biting into a pastry filled with chocolate mousse.

The only snack news I truly care about: Maple & Sea Salt Kettle Corn is back at Trader Joe's - get it now before heathens like me buy up all of it (read: I got 3 bags yesterday)

I tried the Cheetos Lays over the weekend and they were delicious. Next weekend I will try the Cool Ranch Lays.

I realized a little while back when figuring out making wings at home that traditional buffalo sauce is literally half butter and that was a lot tasted very good though (most places you order wings from use more ingredients and it isn't half butter)

How many separate threads for different kinds of food items do we need? And I'm not saying I would be entirely opposed to a thread dedicated to just cookies. Man, I would be all over a baked goods thread.

Well, there won't be as much cookie talk from me this week (I think) because Crumbl's menu doesn't seem all that exciting. I don't feel much desire to try the Pumpkin Roll cookie and the M&M cookie is a repeat.

Absolutely here for a (non Crumbl) baked goods thread (CONTROVERSY!)

I bet we could go on and on about pie.
