I stood staring at the pantry shelves, wondering why we don’t keep sweets at home. There was a jar of hot fudge sauce. I picked it up and thought about eating it with a spoon, like I’ve been known to do with chocolate cake frosting. This isn’t what I want, I thought, and put it back on the shelf. I closed the pantry closet and stood staring at the door.
“I wish we had some Ding Dongs!”
Jon: “Are you having a sugar craving?”
“No. I’m having a Ding Dong craving.”
The next night, I sat in the car at Kroger while Jon went in to pick up some oranges and some cereal. Internet, there are those times in life when God seems to confirm and assure you that you’ve made the right decision about something. That moment for me? When my husband returned to the car with oranges, cereal, and a box of Ding Dongs that I didn’t ask him to get. And in that moment, my entire marriage was confirmed with those round, chocolate-coated, crème-filled cakes!

What a man! He knows your innermost needs after only a couple months of marriage! You better keep him around for a long time! ;-)
as John Kramp would say, "You're my one true essence!" (even though I subscribed I still can't see your last three titles on my Google home page)
What a sweet guy!
Hey, I've started making a homemade treat that is very reminiscent of Ding Dongs. I bake a devil's food cake. Once it cools I crumble the cake in a bowl and mix it with a container of the Whipped milk chocolate frosting. I form them into ball shapes and freeze them overnight. Then I take the chocolate almond bark, melt it, dip the balls in till their covered and let them sit for a few minutes. All that's missing is the creamy center--and that should be easy to figure out, but the treat is SO delicious without it. I got the recipe from a little gal at my mom's church. It sounds complicated, but is super easy and well worth it.
remember that time when we ate red icing out of the tube because that is all we could find. OH I miss my roomie.
YOU though have moved up-- clearly you are eating DING DONGS.
What a guy!!!
