Weird Snacks

Who hasn't thought up a weird snack concoction and found it not only edible but downright delectable' Author Ron Wiggins brings 150 of the wackiest food combinations this side of pickles and ice cream-including dark chocolate dunked in red wine, Elvis' famous fried peanut butter-and-banana sandwich, and marshmallow ducks microwaved to puffy, crispy perfection together in this not-quite-a-cookbook collection.Wiggins was inspired as a child by his pastor, who stood before the congregation one Sunday and confessed to combining milk, powdered sugar, and a spoonful of Hershey's chocolate syrup and licking it off his fingers while listening to The Lone Ranger. Wiggins was hooked! For over 28 years, he has been on a mission to unearth the strangest (but yummiest) snacks imaginable. He's created a Web site devoted to weird snacks and includes recipes from readers of his column from all over the country.After learning how to make "Desperation Shepherd Pie," a "Popcorn Sandwich," and "Fishy Peanut Butter," you'll be chuckling all the way to the kitchen to invent your own creation.
