Whether on the couch, or in bed, the Ice Cream Sandwich Pillow will help provide the sweetest snuggling available. Made of 100% polyester, the pillow should go well with all of your other food-related decor. Just don’t squeeze too hard, or all of the ice cream will slide out. Not recommended for sleep eaters.

Cinnabons are perhaps one of the greatest foods ever. And, most peppermint candy canes taste like used toothpaste. So, this holiday season, replace those ridiculously antiquated red and white canes with Cinnabon Candy Canes.
Not only will your holiday candy get a much needed upgrade — but the Cinnabon Candy Canes could make a strong argument to have Christmas colors officially changed to ‘cinnamon brown’ and ‘sugar-goo yellow.’

If you were thinking what we were thinking — then you’ll agree that there’s just not enough Cheetos-related art in the world. Japanese artist Koshi Kawachi looks to change all of that, with a series of 107 Buddhas carved from a Cheetos-like Japanese snack called umai-bou. Officially-titled Tasty Buddha, the puffy snack series was part of Umai-botoke: The Snack Age — an exhibit of these and other junk food art.
And, if you’re into food-related moments of zen, perhaps Buddha could hold your butter for you too.

There are few things better than breaking into the sweet protective layer of a Crème Brûlée. But if the path to the creamy goodness beneath was to be impeded by a large object, then it might as well be a Cadbury Creme Egg. Peabody agrees, and brings us The Cadbury Crème Egg Crème Brulee.
So grab a blow torch, and put on your fat pants. Instructions for Creme overload can be found here.

Just in time to give some unwanted perspective on your Easter treats — The New York Times went inside the factory of Peeps-maker Just Born to see just how the marshmallow treats are made. And who knew that Peeps-manufacturing was so involved? It actually takes six minutes to make a Peep, and placement of their soulless black eyes follows strict “Decorating Standards.”
However, according to Just Born’s marketing director Matthew Pye, that despite strict quality control, each Peep is unique. ‘‘No one Peeps chick is the same as another,’’ he said. ‘‘Each one has its own personality.’’ Keep that in mind the next time you bite Tweetie’s head off, and Happy Easter.
