When you can't get the real thing
-Brittany Parker
Ever since the beginning of the semester, a vast majority of students
have been hitting the books hard with intentions of either making good
grades, avoiding taking final exams or even improving class rank. When
times of massive studying come around, some problems, like specific
food cravings, could arise that are easily appeased. First problem:
Unstoppable cravings may come about during study hours for food items
that aren't available. Second: A favorite snack may run out. Third:
There may not be time or energy to fix the desired snack.
A common household item is most likely the simplest fix to any one of
these dilemmas and can probably be found right inside your very own
pantry or fridge.
Potential problem: Getting the munchies for s’mores
Easy&Quick Fix: Mini Musketeer Mint with Dark Chocolate Bars in between or on top of Nilla Wafers
Potential problem: A sudden craving for Millionaire Pie (butter, eggs, vanilla, Cool Whip, pecans, salt, powdered sugar, pie crust, cream cheese)
Easy&Quick Fix: Creamy Creations Pecan Pie ice cream with Ready Whip
Potential problem: Running out of those decadent mini Mr. Goodbars that serve as a source of much needed energy during late night studying
Easy&Quick Fix: Eating peanuts and mini Hershey bars together
Potential problem: A hunger for banana pudding
Easy&QuickFix: Spoonfuls of banana cream pie yogurt with Mini Nilla Wafers on top
