Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The Vicarious Foodie recently discovered Wild Cherry M&Ms in her local store, and did what any good pastry chef would do when faced with a new product with much potential: she went to work!
VF found a Cooks Illustrated recipe for Chocolate-Chunk Oatmeal Cookies with Pecans and Dried Cherries, and smartly subbed the M&Ms for the cherry and chocolate pieces, but kept in the pecans.
She mentions that in most recipes, her cookies tend to spread out in the oven, but these look gorgeous, like they barely stretched an inch. (Maybe the oatmeal had something to do with it?)
Either way, I commend VF for being innovative. Plus, the chocolate pieces are a great contrast to the brownish cookie.
Here's VF's re-done recipe here.

Perhaps one has too much time on one's hands and chooses to spend it acting like a pompous douchebag.
