I guess all of the money I spent on culinary school finally paid off
Inspired by Dooce's "Oh my god our plumbing is fucked cookie" I bring you Depression Dessert:
1)Crumble one package of graham crackers in baking dish, or if you like to be ghetto like me, use a tupperware container.
2)Make one box of chocolate instant pudding according to the package directions. Pour over graham crackers. (If you are using cooked pudding make sure you let it cool a little first.) Place in fridge.
3)Mix large amounts of peanut putter and marshmallow fluff together. Spread over chocolate pudding (once it has set up).
4)Layer thinly sliced bananas on top of the fluffernutter mixture.
5)Drizzle with chocolate sauce or melted chocolate (I used a melted milk chocolate bar).
If you are really depressed you may also want to add one or all of the following:
M&M's
Caramel sauce
Toasted Coconut
A crushed up candy bar of your choice.
Rum
ENJOY!

You put more work into your depression food than I do. With me, it's usually a can of vanilla frosting and a spoon.
I'll be right over with hugs and candy bars.

Ooh what about banana rum to set off the toasted coconut?

You are not even trying. You have to start with the rum. :-)

151. And light the whole thing on fire.
Wait. That might waste it, but it sure would be fun to watch.

I'm with Dave. Drink till you forget how to make that hideous concoction. Or till you forget what the bathroom is for. Whichever comes first.

Ohh, man that looks good.
Bucky's right, depression food is all about opening a packet or a lid and digging in with a spoon. So this just proves what a wonder woman you truly are :)

Whoa - this sounds like quite a treat. Please keep this away from your beautiful little daughter (when she's old enough to enjoy). She will eat it and never want to look at a carrot or pea again. Let's hope that she never gets depressed like the rest of us.
