You’re looking at a dare here friends.. a lost bet, if you will.  Nothing more, and nothing less.. except what started out as something completely shocking and dare I say.. gross, turned out to be oddly, strangely, and SOOO disturbingly tasty.  Oh, I know.. I know how crazy that sounds, and trust me.. it’s even crazier to say, but there’s something about this crazy combo that actually tastes really good.

Now, I’m not suggesting that you actually go out of your way to make this.. all I’m saying is if ever you find yourself trapped in a kitchen with some brown gravy and ice cream, it wouldn’t kill you to give it a try.  No one will ever have to know.  🙂

What you’ll need for 4 crazy cones:

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1.5 cups brown gravy

4 cones

1 cup potato chips.. crushed

2 tbsp. marshmallow cream

Directions:

Pour the gravy into the semi-soft ice cream…

and gently mix it together.. 

keeping it swirled by not over-mixing it…

now, dip the cone rim into the marshmallow cream…

and roll it around in the chip crumbs…

Let it set up for a couple of minutes…

Then fill that cone with the ice cream and… DIG IN!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Have you ever caught yourself staring blankly at a beautiful bag of potato chips, thinking any of these thoughts to yourself:

“hmm.. what can I do with those to make them even worse for me than they already are?”  

“they just aren’t fattening enough!”  

“I’d like to eat them and feel even more self-hate than I already do.”

I just want to be permanently disgusted with myself!”

Have you had any of those thoughts? Even one of them?  .. No,  you  say?!  Well, guess what? I have.. and what you’re seeing here is the sad delicious result!  

Brace yourself.

I give to you, a perfect pile of beautifully bruleed, sweet, salty, crunchy, potato chips!  

Yeah~ That’s right! .. I’m talking about everything we know and adore about traditional creme brulee, all incorporated into the most popular snack food in the world.. Good old potato chips!  MMhmm!

Each chip is gloriously sugar-coated.. (much like the lies we tell ourselves before we eat the whole bag) , then torched until that classic bruleed sugar deliciousness is in full force..  

AND then they’re plunged DEEP into a thick, rich, vanilla ‘custard’ dip.. just to drive that authentic creme brulee brilliance right into your mouth via the crispiest, crunchiest, most delectable chip you’ve ever had!  These babies are a salty/sweet lovers’ dream come true!

Turn your 2 star chips, into a 5 star dessert…  

~Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

Potato Chips~  I used Ruffles for their Rrridges (they’re sturdy enough and hold that sugar perfectly)

Sugar .. approx. 1 cup or so

Vanilla instant pudding.. a.k.a. custard dip

A torch

Directions:

Place a single chip onto a fire-safe surface.. I used a round cookie sheet.  *You want to torch each chip all alone, cuz the flame tends to travel and will burn the chip next to it.

Sprinkle the top of the chip evenly with sugar…

Now gently torch that sugar until it’s an amber color.. as evenly as you can, but they don’t have to be perfect to be amazing!

Let them cool, and they will crisp up!

Prepare the pudding according to your box instructions.

Serve them with the custard dip…

Listen as the chatter in the room turns into silence, when you serve these!

..all you’ll hear is crunching, with “Mmm’s”  and “OMG’s” in between!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Well, here we go again…  with another fun, mini, pop in your mouth version of an otherwise big, attention grabbing mess of a meal..haha.

This time I focused all of my attention on poutine.  Ahh yes, ~ Poutine.. that incredible pile of fries, cheese…and gravy that could easily shame even the most daring of snackers,, if not by the mess they make, definitely by the sheer volume of the stuff that can be consumed in one sitting..lol!

I thought it would be cute and a little less embarrassing to eat 5 pounds of it, if I took everything we know and love about poutine, and made it super cute, super delicious, and super easy to sneak into your mouth.  That’s right, now you can enjoy all the succulent elements of typical poutine, minus the huge plate, fork, napkins, and a chin full of gravy.  Well..there still might be some gravy on your chin, but you won’t care.

Each crispy and tender poutine popper is bursting with melty cheese curds, coated in potatoes (chips), and then shamelessly plunged deeply into a glorious pool of warm brown gravy.  yeah~  um..make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

2 cups of crushed potato chips

24-1″ cubes of FROZEN cheese curds..or just cut up a block of regular cheese if you can’t find authentic curds

brown gravy for dipping

1 cup all purpose flour

2 eggs

oil for frying..I used canola

Directions:

Freeze the cheese curds for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible

Crush up the chips…

Add the eggs, flour, and crushed chips into separate shallow bowls.

Coat the cheese in the flour…

..then the egg…

And then generously into the crushed chips…

make sure you work quickly so the cheese stays frozen, or you can pop them into the freezer as you continue to prepare the rest of them…

Now fry them up a few at a time in the hot (350 degree) oil, until golden…

Serve them warm…

..with lots of warm brown gravy for dipping…

Sometimes I just have to laugh~  a soft, almost creepy kind of laugh all to myself,  at the fact that I’m not the least bit ashamed of this crazy combo!

I mean..yes, I’m the one who chose to fry this Bacon in a thick coating of umm..Potato Chips… But that doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m crazy, right??!  Just imagine, crispy bacon with a crunchy, salty, and toast coating of our favorite potato snack.

If this is wrong, I don’t want to be right..EVER!  🙂

Sooo here we are~  leave your sanity at the door, and scroll on!  🙂

What you’ll need:

1 lb Bacon..crispy!

2 cups Chips..crushed!

2 eggs mixed with a splash of water!

1 cup of Flour

Oil for frying…I used Canola

3 medium/shallow bowls

Directions:

Flour into bowl #1…

Eggs into bowl #2…

Crushed Chips into bowl #3.

Take that crispy Bacon…

Take a slice of the crispy Bacon and dust it in the Flour…

Now into the Eggs..

Then get a good, even coating of Chips on there…

In a shallow pan, get your oil to 350 degrees, and fry those babies up…

Drain them on some paper towel, and let them cool!

NOW..dig in..they’ll be gone before you know it!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

Yikes~  I know!  …I know, but I simply can’t help myself!  I mean, at least I try to not create over-the-top crazy creations, it’s just that I fail miserably…haha!

Actually, it’s difficult to call these incredible babies a failure, they’re more like the snack that you’ll love to hate, the secret in the family, the unspoken sin..if you will.

When the thought of a doughnut & chip combo hit me in the brain, I was just as surprised as you are right now (maybe)..lol.  I was horrified, concerned, and alarmed…annnd I was also on my way into the kitchen to go make them happen. 🙂

And here we are!  I give to you buttery, flaky layer after layer of crunchy chips, sweet glazed, tender doughnuts that will melt in your mouth as they melt your heart.  You’ll hear a crispy crunch, you’ll feel a soft and sweet bite between your lips and all of your senses will almost explode.

Please believe me when I tell you that this magnificent marriage of flavors and textures is the BEST thing to ever happen to a doughnut.  They’re not just good, oh noooo~ I’m talking sweet, salty, tender, crunchy, warm, gooey-doughnutty-goodness gracing your lips and shamelessly kicking your self control to the curb kind of good!

Try one bite, just one bite…and you’ll never be the same! 🙂

~Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

2 containers of crescent dough..or the dough sheets

4 cups of Potato Chips

1 cup of classic vanilla frosting

a 3″ round cookie/doughnut cutter

oil for frying

Directions:

Crush 2 cups of the chips into a bread crumb-like consistency.  Set aside…

First roll out one of the dough sheets, and seal the seams if necessary…by pinching them together.

Now spread a thin layer of frosting over the dough…

And now the fun part…add the CHIPS!  In a single layer onto the frosting, don’t crumble them first, you want a nice layer in each bite.

Top that with the other dough sheet, and give them a gentle roll together…

Repeat the frosting and chip layers, fold the dough over and roll it out again~ *you don’t have to do this step if you’re ok with not as many layers in the finished doughnut!  They’re delicious either way!

Cut out the doughnuts…

Fry them up in the hot (350 degree) oil until they’re golden on both sides…

Let them cool completely…

Now, warm up the frosting and drizzle it over the doughnuts…

Top them with the crushed chips… AHHH YEAH!  …don’t be shy!

You’ll have a crowd around you at this point…

Serve them now, or risk an attack…lol

But make sure you get one for YOU!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Alright ladies..I’m saying it now, this dish can be for you as well.  Granted it’s filled with hunks of fatty, smoky, greasy assorted Meats, dripping in Beer/Cheese Sauce, and topped with crushed Potato Chips, Pretzels AND Bacon, but hey..you’re totally free to enjoy it also!  It’s just that “Estrogen Macaroni” didn’t have the same ring to it..lol!

So here you are Guys, and Guy’s-at-heart…I give you a hot, comforting dish dedicated to high carbin’, calorie lovin’, loud burping, male types!

I may or may not have had 1 bowl or 4, but I’m pretty sure I can go out and change the oil in my car all by myself now…haha!

What you’ll need for lots of full & happy Man Bellies:

1 tbsp. Olive Oil

2 tbsp. Butter

3 tbsp. Flour

1 bottle of his favorite Beer (or 2 cups of milk)

4 cups Macaroni Noodles

1 lb, Crispy bacon..crumbled

1 roll of Jimmy Dean Sausage (any spice level)

1 lb. Ground Beef

2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar

2 cups Shredded Mozzarella

1 cup of Pretzels..crushed into crumbs

Approx. 1 cup of Potato Chips..crushed into crumbs

S&P and Spices of his choice..to taste (I used a dash of Nutmeg & Cayenne)

A baking casserole dish

Directions:

Boil up the Macaroni

Prepare the Meats:

In a large skillet crisp up the Bacon, remove it to cool and crumble it up, set it aside!  Leave all of the Bacon drippings in the pan.  Then add the other meats into the Bacon drippings to completely cook, set aside…

Make the Beer/Cheese Sauce:

In a large/deep fry pan melt in the Butter and Olive Oil, when it’s melted stir in the Flour until blended.  Pour in the Beer as you whisk to combine…

Let it bubble and thicken up for a minute or so, and add in 1 cup of the Cheddar and 1 cup of the Mozzarella…

Now sprinkle in the spices and add in all the meats, making sure to reserve a handful of the crispy Bacon!  Fold it together with the noodles until it’s all one meaty, cheesy pan of deliciousness…

Pour it all into your baking dish, set aside.

Make the Topping:

Crush together the Potato Chips & Pretzels (a food processor works really well for this)…or a rolling pin and lots of anger will work too…

Sprinkle the top with the remaining Cheeses, all of the Crushed Chips & Pretzels, and the reserved crispy Bacon…

Into a 350 degree oven it goes, uncovered for approx. 45 minutes or until it’s golden, bubbly and heated through.

Scoop up a huge portion, let him eat it on the couch (just this one time, let’s not get crazy)….

Don’t forget a cold one…

And maybe another, before he does the dishes!  ~Enjoy!  🙂
