Homemade Twinkies1/20
Like the classic, these sponge cakes are crammed to almost bursting with irresistibly sweet, fluffy, creamy goodness—but minus the chemicals and other abominations.
Homemade Nutella2/20
No longer are you safe from temptation just because you summoned enough fortitude to skip the Nutella aisle at the store. Not safe at all.
Chocolate Covered Pretzels3/20
An impressive (and blissfully last-minute!) nosh with an incredibly satisfying salty sweet thing happening. And spectacularly simple to make. Decorate as much or as little as you like.
Homemade Thin Mints4/20
Can't wait for your boxes of Girl Scout Thin Mints to arrive? No worries. We got you with this trusty gluten free recipe.
Twinkie Bundt Cake5/20
A ginormous riff on the iconic American snack cake, this Twinkie look-alike boasts a beauteous appearance, an amped-up vanilla smack, and ingredients you can actually pronounce.
Homemade Sno Balls6/20
Fashioned from chocolate cake, filled and frosted with meringue, and festooned in a feathery pink coconut boa, these are the real deal.
Compost Cookies®7/20
The curious name of these insanely can't-stop-eating-these sweet and salty cookies hints at how you toss in whatever this and that you have on hand to create awesomeness.
Homemade Snickers Bars8/20
Know what really satisfies? Making your own gooey, peanutty, caramel-y, milk chocolate-y Snickers candy bars at home.
Cheese Crackers9/20
Yup. We went there. To that homemade Cheez-It place. Go ahead. Admit it. You're awfully glad that we did.
Mini Funnel Cakes10/20
Forget the state fair. You can have funnel cakes whenever you want. And as many as you want. Without asking your parents' permission. And they're as quick and easy as pancakes.
Classic English Toffee11/20
Almonds and dark chocolate or peanuts and milk chocolate? Can't go wrong either way with this classic candy.
Cheesy Fish Crackers12/20
No preservatives. No artificial coloring. Just real, honest-to-goodness ingredients—and maybe a little goldfish giddiness.
Chocolate Fudge Pops13/20
They look like fudgsicles. They taste like fudgesicles. Yet they're made from cocoa, coconut milk, and honey, so don't give a second thought to indulging in them.
Chicken Fingers14/20
No funnily named fillers. No mystery meat. Just chicken and cornflakes and little tykes clamoring for more.
New York Super Fudge Chunk15/20
Ben & Jerry, we love you and we always will. But we make our own Super Fudge Chunk now that's even more riddled with chunks of all sorts of super fudge-y spectacularness.
Homemade Tater Tots ~ Spuddies16/20
A spuddy, you ask? It's what happens when a chef creates crisp potato-y lusciousness but the name Tater Tots™ is already taken.
Homemade Pop Tarts17/20
Though we dearly loved Pop Tarts as kids, even then we thought the packaged pastries ought to be better. Flakier. Fruitier. Fresher. Just like these. And they're quite simple to pull off.
Frozen Chocolate-Covered Bananas18/20
We're not sure what The King would say about this frozen riff on his fave sandwich. But with all due respect, does it really matter? Banana, chocolate, peanuts, and bacon!
Homemade Marshmallows19/20
Once you taste homemade marshmallows, there's no going back to those bags of white, spongy, chemically, jet-puffed things. Quicker and easier than you think and made from stuff you already have on hand.
