No, that's not an incredibly lifelike zombie Magneto sculpture. It's actually an incredibly lifelike zombie Magneto cake. Better keep it away from radioactive sources though or it could become a real superhero cake.
In my experience, for serious ice cream eaters, there is only one flavor. Cookie dough. So when someone mentions a brownie cookie dough cupcake, I am all ears.
Listen lady, I saw the picture. I am ready to be indulgent.Looking for a rich and indulgent cupcake recipe?
Well look no further because I'm telling you this is the most indulgent cupcake I've ever eaten! Brownie + cookie dough.
Tell me more about these brownie + cookie dough metrics.
What I would recommend is that you set aside half of the Cookie Dough Frosting to eat plain then use the rest for the cupcakes. I've never said this before but with that much frosting over a brownie cupcake you'll have a hard to finishing one cupcake =). This frosting would also be incredibly delicious over a lighter cupcake such as a vanilla or chocolate cupcake.
You had me at cupcake. I have been diligent with my gym routine lately, but after this I will probably have to kick it up a few levels or risk adding a few notches to my belt leather. View the full recipe here. I plan on trying my hand at this over the weekend, would anyone like one?

I love bacon, not a huge fan of the deep fryer, but in this case I may make a rare exception. Deep-fried, beer-battered, bacon smothered bacon. Oh-my-lanta. As Anthony Bourdain might say- that is some serious food porn.
Nick over at Dude Foods has deep fried everything from mashed potatoes to lasagna, from deviled eggs to White Castle sliders. It was finally time for him to deep fry the bacon. That is some serious dedication to deep frying, while his heart may be hating him I bet he has the happiest taste buds on the planet. As I was considering posting this, Alex shared a few choice words of encouragement "bacon is like internet Viagra" then walked off giggling. Well put Alex, well put.

Sure, a burger, french fries, two tacos and a soda is already a good start for someone with the munchies, but Jack In the Box went all out when they developed the menu options for their Munchie Meals. Selections include:
I don't know when and where these will be available (I just went by a Jack's near my house today and they weren't serving them there), but I've gotta say, those are some awesome munchies right there.
Appropriately, the Boston Foodie refers to this enormous concoction as "the Big Dig of pastry engineering." This cannoli, the world's largest, was made last year at the New England Dessert Showcase.
Kahlua and gingerbread? Sign me up for the holiday of a lifetime and according to Serious Eats, it's just as good as it sounds. I wonder if the Dude would abide though.
Creative and creepy! Can you believe these baby heads are made of solid white chocolate? They are about the size of a real newborn's head. Admire all you want, but the thought of chomping your teeth into them is unnerving. Made by Annabel de Vetten of Conjurer's Kitchen, the heads are a part of the Eat Your Heart Out 2012 food art exhibition in London. Link -Thanks, Emmylou Cakehead!
We've had the Dalek chocolate cake before, but that was five years ago. It's long past time to eat another one! To make it, you'll need...well, a whole lot of chocolate. You can find the full recipe at the link. Make one and prepare for the Oncoming Stomachache.

Why do we say something is "piping hot," and something else should be taken "with a grain of salt," and why do we have a "bone to pick"? We use food phrases all the time. We know what we mean when we say them, but how did such odd phrases come about? The answers to ten of the most common can be found at Foodbeast. Link -via Digg
Farina's of Texas was once asked by a customer to combine his two favorite dishes -spaghetti and pizza. While plenty of places try to combine these two, most of them end up with soggy crust and crunchy spaghetti Farina's managed to do it perfectly and the dish has since become such a hit with customers that it is now on the official menu.
As someone who can't eat wheat products, I couldn't even fathom eating this carb pile, but for those of you who could, would you?
Etsy seller parchmentcookies specializes in cookies based on retro video games. You can munch your way through Pac Man, fly through Galaga cookies or snack down on these awesome Zelda maps. Has old school gaming ever tasted this good?

Love Caramel apples? Me too! Who cares that December is almost upon us, I think caramel apples are always in season and these are the ultimate caramel apples. Brought to us by Cooking Classy you can find a recipe here. It is a fairly simple and straightforward recipe, but in order to recreate the apples above - real twigs are needed. If you noticed there are a few different varieties of coatings, and Jaclyn (of Cooking Classy) has some brilliant ideas on that as well.

Forget English muffins, ham and hollandaise sauce, these Thanksgiving eggs benedict look delicious and are a great way to make your leftovers fun again (which can be hard to do after a few days).
Put those corn cob holders away. What you need is an electric drill and a quarter inch bit. Just stick the cob on the bit, place the corn by your mouth, then turn on the drill.
