i'm not a dessert person. excluding my taste for caffeinated pop, which i've actually replaced with coffee, i eat very little sugar. i'm more of a bag of chips person than a cake and cookies person. i prefer salt to sugar, as a vice, but i don't eat much salt, either. when i do eat sugar, i'd rather eat fruit than candy.

but i don't want to throw this stuff away.

what i don't want to do is go overboard on it. i'll want to tone it down a little and eat it in smaller portions.

i think it's better to just take a marshmellow, a bit of pb and a mini caramilk and put it in the microwave and eat one or two of them at a time, so it lasts for a few weeks, rather than mix it all up in a bowl, make some pastry and then gain weight from it. 

however, i'll look at this differently next time. if i did make some kind of cookie or desert, i could cut it up into reasonable portions and eat a little every day.

i'm just not used to having these types of ingredients in the house. the ginger bread was actually pretty good, and didn't seem very sugary actually, but it might have been better to take the ginger bread, the butter cookies, the caramilk, the protein bars, the marshmallows and the peanut butter and mix it together, in hindsight. 

i've been avoiding the expired caramilk because it's just glassed over glucose. i can't even chew it. i think i kind of have to melt this down to even eat it, so the smores become a logical solution, in context.
