Friday Finds: The Best Sugar High

You are, of course, all aware of my predilection for cooking. However, I'm not sure that I've ever truly express the depth of my sweet tooth. I also have a "fat tooth" but that's another blog post...

Today I'd like to introduce you to two things:

1. My wonderful friend John's awesome cartoon strip, Dork Tower, and

2. Igor Bars

Named for the character Igor, from Dork Tower, these diabetes-inducing treats include:

chocolate chip cookie dough (from recipe on bag of chocolate chips or purchase pre-fab dough in a tube)
 peanuts, 1.5 cups
 caramels, 100
 milk, 3 teaspoons
 semi-sweet chocolate chips, 16 oz.
 Rice Krispies, 6 cups
 marshmallows, 10 oz. (or one very large jar of marshmallow creme)
 margarine (eliminate if using marshmallow creme)
 M&Ms, any variety
 toffee chips or bars
 anything else you think is excessive

Here's the link to the original recipe. If you scroll down on the page, you'll find a number of ridiculous and yummy variations.

And here's the original comic with a pretty perfect representation of what happens when you eat Igor Bars:

 

If you end up making these, please write me and let me know how you like them! Also, please read Dork Tower. It's consistently one of the funniest commentaries on all things dorky and popular culture.

Bon Appetite!
