tasty dish is the main reason to venture
out into the great outdoors
traditionally consisting of a
marshmallow and a piece of chocolate
heated between two graham crackers the
original recipe can be tweaked to take
its basic flavor into new directions but
those basic tenets usually remain is
your soft warm marshmallow on top of the
chocolate square and sandwiched together
with another graham cracker while the
exact date of the s’mores creation is
unknown published references to it
appear as early as the 1920s with the
boy and Girl Scouts being fans of the
treat even then National s’mores Day is
celebrated every year on August 10th
right at the height of camping season so

need a heavy dish but just a light snack
look no further
though pudding in the United Kingdom
refers to dessert in general we’re
talking about a sweet custard style dish
created by combining multiple
ingredients like sugar and milk with a
thickener like gelatin cornstarch or
eggs and simmering there have been so
many variations of pudding that we’ve
lost count not that into sweets pudding
can also come in a more savoury
variation and the dish is not just
famous in America France for example has
created the highly popular mousse
dessert by whipping the various
ingredients to have a fluffier texture
and more Airy taste look at all those
air bubbles that’s amazing mmm is so
good
number 7 cheesecake I’ve got to try this
cheesecake oh you know I’m not that much
of a sweet tooth oh oh oh my god real
creamy what’s better than a slice of
cheesecake not much perhaps the richest
entry on our list the origins of
cheesecake can be traced as far back as
ancient Greece
although some claim the desert is an
English creation today’s cheesecake is
decidedly American its long history has
allowed time for bakers to add their own
touches and perfect the art of the
Cheesecake Oh my name is just so what I
could just I could just slap somebody
right now
consisting of a cream cheese filling
upon a delicious cookie crumb base the
specific taste of this delicacy can vary
drastically depending on how it’s made
and which toppings are used if you ask

York style any day number six donuts oh
don’t tell me how do we do a always
choke it against some Swedes don’t
always have to be an after-dinner treat
many happy children and adults get
pumped full of sugar from this
deep-fried dough at breakfast of course
we make donuts this way as a rebel many
people buy a lot of them morning folks
while the origin of the doughnut has
long been disputed many theories suggest
it originated sometime during the 19th
century in North America the traditional
doughnut comes in basic types such as
the ring shaped glazed doughnut fruit or
custard filled varieties or even
doughnut holes now if only we knew why
they removed the center in the first
place and I’m just gonna press my jelly
out until I get some jelly out right
there all right
number five cookies c is for cookie
that’s good enough for me oh okay go
Gabe okay start with C
Oh milk and cookies what more do you
need
this flat sweet primarily comprised of
sugar flour eggs and butter has been
milked by Baker’s for all it’s worth
as with other desserts on this list you
can make endless varieties of cookies
just by adding some chocolate cinnamon
or even simple peanut butter to create
an entirely new dessert while the actual
dish may have originated in Persia also
known as modern-day Iran the cookie
we’re so familiar with today
was popularized in the United States and
while we love us some Oreos Chips Ahoy
or even Girl Scout cookies nothing beats
the smell of homemade cookies everybody
likes cookies no I know after really
awful no good day in your mom after
making milk and cookies number 4

conundrum solved enjoy can’t decide
between a cookie and cake meet in the
middle
popularized in North America at the
beginning of the 20th century brownies
or squares can come in many different
styles while traditionally a delicious
mess made up of flour eggs butter sugar
and cocoa powder it is very common to
find it made with other ingredients as
well one example is the blonde brownie
or blondie which removes the cocoa
powder and adds brown sugar but squares
flavored with fruits like lemon or
different tastes like peanut butter are
just as delicious this modern comfort
food is best served with milk or coffee
but can also be served a la mode with a
healthy spoonful of ice cream number
three
pie after that I’m going to have a slice
of pie – breakfast any time of the day
is a good time for five everything’s
better with a slice of pie this decadent
dessert is believed to have initially
been created by the ancient Greeks and
Romans the familiar modern dessert pie
lamode was popularized by north america
somewhere around 1890 though pies were
introduced to the area by pilgrims
centuries earlier rather simple to make
it’s a combination of dough filled with
either a sweet or savory filling the
possibilities are endless as you can use
fruits vegetables or even chicken
and other meats a popular alternative to
pie is a delicious crumble which can

receive a piece and I was told just pass
need a dessert for a holiday or a
celebration grab some cake this baked
dessert has a long history tracing back
to ancient Greece and Rome yet the
prepared cake in a box was created due
to an excess of molasses during the
Great Depression hmm

super moist want to bake one yourself a
basic cake recipe begins with flour
sugar eggs and oil baked with a
leavening agents such as baking powder
or soda cake comes in countless forms
some including fruits or similar to a
sponge cake a whole cake too much for
you settle for a much smaller cupcake
for that same delicious satisfaction
look at that bit of squishy bit right in
the middle
hmm before we gorge ourselves with our
top dessert here are some honorable
mentions I didn’t make dessert instead I
made some fun
see
so once all your fruit is in the bowl
make sure you give it a good stir so
that the sugar syrup gets all the way
through what you’re really looking for
is something that has a beautiful shiny
texture to it it’s not too soft and
sugary it’s not too hard in icy it has a
perfect texture just like this version
here for a festive Flair pour a
tablespoon of alcohol on top and ignite
it for a volcano effect so let’s give it
a try I’m just gonna try it rare the
best way Oh mmm
number one ice cream look at a day I got
used an ice cream get it dad I scream I
scream you scream we all scream for ice
cream
brought to the u.s. from England by
Quaker colonists ice cream quickly
became the dessert of choice of many
North Americans due to the wide variety
of flavors though vanilla and chocolate
are the most popular this sweet is often
the combination of a dairy product sugar
and an addition such as chocolate chips
or fruit for flavor and if you can’t
find your favorite flavor of ice cream
just add some fruit or chocolate sauce
to make a sundae it’s the most expensive
ice cream sundae in the world it’s this
a reverent odor this is a record holder
still a record holder but the reason
it’s number one on our list is that no
serving of pie or cake would be complete
without it making ice cream the king of
desserts do you agree with our list
