so into the southern foods bracket. i had forgotten that things like moon pies existed until i voted for them in the first round of the bracket. and then casey and i stopped by the beer after our bike ride on thursday and i saw them on the counter and had to have one. i am not even sure casey had ever eaten one before.

for those who don't know, it's thin layers of cake with marshmallow in-between and covered in chocolate. if you made it at home, it would be decadent, but the packaged, store-bought variety is really simple. sugar sugar sugar.

and as far as southern foods go, it doesn't compare to the goo goo cluster. or blue bell ice cream.

yes, i built that.

i made chocolate peanut butter cups at home a la a beautiful mess. they were a bit large, as i only had cupcake liners for big muffin tins, rather than the baby size, but that did not stop anyone from eating too much or cutting them in half.

sadly, i took no photos of this delicious + easy-to-make treat, so here's my dog in a sweater. it's a hand-me-down from houston and might be worn for christmas.
