It's an It's It. Wait..what?
For those of you East of the Rockies, I should explain. An It's It is essentially an ice cream sandwhich made with oatmeal cookies and covered in a chocolate shell.
Okay, then. But Randy Sarafan went even further, making his It's Its by battering pre-prepared It's Its, freezing them in liquid nitrogen, then deep frying them.
A note to companies trying to promote their brand with something like the "World's Biggest Popsicle," don't schedule the promotion when it's so hot that your popsicle will melt and make the entire area covered in sticky sludge from your product. That's exactly what Snapple did and New Yorkers who had to deal with rivers of sugary nastiness weren't exactly rushing out to buy Snapple the next day.
If you think that's bad, just wait until you read these other weird publicity stunts created by major food brands.
Admit it, the best part of the creme brulee is the delicious, crunchy crust. These cookies take that magical crust and a little vanilla pudding and add them to soft sugar cookies for a creme brulee treat that requires no spoons or forks. Best of all, they're incredibly simple to make!
Have you been wishing for something that tastes like breast milk, but doesn't actually contain the bodily fluid of another human being? Well then, look no further than this vegan breast milk lollipop. While I can't tell you why someone would actually want a breast milk lollipop, the company's owner did express why he decided not to use actual breast milk in the products, saying "Managing that would be a logistical nightmare.”

There are some seriously goofy food trucks out there. In fact, I saw an Italian one just today with a horn that played the Godfather theme. That being said, most of these trucks are pretty standard with a goofy name and a few silly puns. Jalopnik has ten of the craziest ones out there though, including one truck that specializes in the potentially deadly fugu fish.
Thanks, but I'll stick with the giant metal pig truck that serves pulled pork.
It looks like a gourmet dessert made by a professional, but it's actually really simple. The entire thing consists of ice cream sandwiches separated by layers of peanut butter and jelly and covered with Cool Whip. You're supposed to store it in a freezer for a while after you're done preparing it, but I doubt the cake will survive that long if I'm around.
For Father's Day, Elizabeth LaBau is giving her husband sweet bars composed of all of the major male food groups: bacon, pretzels, chocolate, peanut butter, caramel and potato chips. You can find her full recipe at the link.
Dad doesn't want flowers for Father's Day. He wants something manly, like beer and food. What better way to give him beer and food on his special day than with a cupcake bouquet with cupcakes that include beer?
There is one way you could make this gift more awesome though...throw some chocolate-covered bacon bits on these cupcakes.
Not sure if you're in the mood for something salty or sweet or crunchy or chewy? Why not satisfy all those cravings at once with these buttered popcorn brownies? The secret to getting the popcorn to stick to the brownies is a heavy drizzle of condensed milk and chocolate. Excuse me, I've got to go bake some brownies and pop some corn now.

To make these cute snacks from Kouzino Mageieremata, core apples and slice them thinly. Boil the apple slices to make them soft. Then place layers of puff pastry in the bottoms of muffin cups and arrange the soft apple slices on the pastry dough like rose petals. After you add sugar and spices and bake them, you'll have an eye-catching and mouth-watering treat.

You already know what your morning eggs say about you, but what about your choice of donut? As a jelly-filled donut fan, I find the description pretty accurate because I am a big softie, especially when it comes to kitten videos. Do these descriptions fit you?
Beer, cheesecake and fudgesicles? Could these sweet treats by The Beeroness be the ultimate in decadent summertime snacks? I thinks so.
