    KFC Popcorn Chicken
    Swiss Cake Rolls
    Instant Jell-O Pudding (especially butterscotch)
    Ranch dressing as a dip for french fries and, occasionally, hot dogs. Yeah, I know.

    Ranch dressing with hot dogs?

    This tells me pretty much all I need to know about where you're coming from.

    There are places for people like you...


    I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

    Long John Silver's shrimp....tails, OMG I love the crunchy tails.

    Graham Crackers with canned Pillsbury frosting smeared in between two to make a sandwich. I don't have a sweet tooth at all, but these remind me of my childhood as does Jello cake and Pink Lemonade pie.

    Is it a guilty pleasure if it's a hangover remedy? :cry:

    Cheap grocery store ramen, preferably pork, with plenty of sriracha, lime, jalapenos, cilantro, and scallions.

    Sadly, I seem to have more quilty pleasures than those that are virtuous. Mine include, but are far from limited to:

    Chili Cheese Fritos...dipped in sour cream
    Second for BK tacos (closest to Jack-In-the-Box around)
    Swiss Cake Rolls/Nutty Bars
    Double Cheeseburger at White Castle
    Any jalapeno fried things

    I should introduce you to Pie Dude.

    How could I forget about Beefaroni? Boy I wish I had a bowl of that right now instead of a turkey sandwich. Blehhh

    PB&J sandwich with some bacon and a fried egg on top... and instead of bread I use Pop-Tarts.

    Then I deep fry it Montecristo style and dip it in chocolate covered chocolate.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!?! So many guilty pleasures crammed into one! I love PB&J, I love pop tarts (blueberry or brown sugar n cinnamon), I love Monte Cristos, and of course chocolate... but you have just raised the bar my friend!

    Is that served smothered in JELL-O butterscotch pudding, or atop a bed of Chef Boyardee beefaroni?

    Oh, God where do I start!

    Cheesy Pringles
    Tostitos Salsa Con Queso. I know it's mostly Salsa con Plastic but about once a year I can't help it.
    I have a weakness for any brightly orange colored cheese product, really. My favorite babysitter growing up made us grilled cheese with velveeta and probably 1/2 a stick of butter per sandwich. As far as my sister and I are concerned, these sandwiches should qualify her for sainthood.

    I also have been known to dip pretzels in blue cheese dressing, and I also enjoy warmed cream cheese, topped with a dollop of sambal oelek, used as a dip for the El Ranchito salted tortilla chips (green bag).

    So, yeah, we're seeing a cheese and salt theme here!

    Fried egg sammich (two eggs, please) on good WW toast, with either Ketchapeno or Ketchipotle. Crisp caramelized bacon is a lovely touch, if I have some cooked on hand. I always bake a whole package of bacon at a time, on a rack over a foil-lined half-sheet pan, sprinkled with a tiny bit of turbinado sugar; you store it in a zippy bag, and keep in the fridge. Just try not to sneak it all within an hour. I double-dog dare ya.

    Fig Newtons are another occasional craving - the real ones, not the Paul Newman ones, or - God forbid - the generic ones. Those are even worse than Boboli crusts. :lol:

    the El Ranchito salted tortilla chips (green bag).



    love those. they are miles better than just about any other store-bought tortilla chip. my wife won't eat them because she claims it hurts her jaw muscles to chew them.

    These are fantastic...nothing stands up to heavy dips better. Your wife's not wrong though, after eating them for a while, my jaw does feel like it spent the afternoon lifting weights.

    Another vote for the lime-dusted tostitos, and a third vote on behalf of one of my nephews, who likes coming over to my house to have "those sour chips."

    We have a thread on Merkts port wine cheese spread somewhere, a guilty pleasure for me too.

    (Cathy2, don't break pizano345's heart by revealing what the port wine coloring comes from ...)

    1. Ameri-chinese orange chicken
    2. Along the same lines--the lime fried chicken at Spoon thai. Basically batter fried strips of chicken with a lime aioli. Much maligned on LTH, but, mmmmm
    3. Crab rangoon
    4. Chocolate peanut butter ice cream from Baskin Robbins
    5. Cheddar fries made with good merkt cheddar (From Michael's in HP or WASC, preferably)
