Another vote for Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. It rocks.

Not technically candy, but has anyone tried the Peanut Butter Goodies from Trader Joe's? SO good. Thin cookie covered with peanut butter mousse, coated in milk chocolate and topped with peanut bits. Highly recommended.

@fshin: banana pudding! It's my favorite and it's still on the menu at my local DQ. They slice bananas into it and add "pie crust" squares (nilla waferesque) and whipped cream.

@zaphire and Tamsinite: Ditto on the Festivus longing! That was such an excellent flavor. I miss Bananas on the Rum, too.

@Rodzilla: YES! That's exactly what Milk and Cookies tastes like!

The best cake I've ever had was a (believe it or not) wedding cake, which was almond with raspberry filling topped with a buttercream. I had three pieces of it. This was seven years ago and I still dream about it!

In high school, I worked at a local park snack bar where we served hot dogs and soft serve ice cream. We used to pump vanilla soft serve into hot dog buns all the time (I think it started one day when we were out of cones). It was delicious!

Breakfast Christmas morning with my mother in law and husband (eggs and mimosas), lunch at my mom's (traditional holiday fare) and napping back home for the rest of the day. Can't wait.

Baguette sandwiches with jambon, fromage and beurre in Paris.

A fudgy brownie made with good chocolate (not cocoa!).

For brunch, truffled egg toast from 'ino!
As a regular standby breakfast, nothing beats a whole wheat bagel, not toasted, and a schmear of lowfat lox cram cheese!

I had a kids' cookbook that came with awesome, brightly colored measuring spoons. I remember making a recipe for candlestick salad that had a pineapple ring wax catcher and a half banana as the candle.

Split a whole wheat pita and rub the outside with garlic. Toast and then broil mozzarella or provolone cheese on top, then cover with overeasy or sunny side up eggs. Salt and pepper. Yum!

I personally can't stand Trader Joe's brand--it has almost no flavor to me. The ones you get from an Asian market are way better--but have crazy amounts of sodum in them, too.
