As shockingly unhealthy as they probably are, we can't help but want so many of pastry chef Domnique Ansel's damn Cronuts in our mouth right now! Somebody needs to take our money and have it happen!

If you couldn't figure it out from the headline, Cronuts are a blissful and genius combination of DONUTS and CROISSANTS. Both unhealthy, both delicious. Instead of having one each, why not combine the two into a silky king-sized bed for your tastebuds??

We dare you to try and get half-way through the video (above) before you drown in your own drool! We DARE YOU! LOLz!

Someone bring us a dozen of these STAT! Oh, and let us know if California's new friend will be attempting their own version!

Ooooh! That ice cream looks dee-lishous!!

Since Mama June was just caught picking her nose, we're happy to see that she likes to eat things that don't come out of her nostrils! JK!

Miz June and her daughter Honey Boo Boo have been spending time in New York City, and taking into mind that there's a lot of good treats in the city, they decided to grab some HUGE ice cream desserts while they explored NYC.

We honestly want a frozen delight now — especially because we see how much HBB is enjoying her treat.

Look at that guuurl go!! LOLz

And she couldn't look any sharper running errands…

Naya Rivera is all sorts of fit and gorgeous today! We dunno how the Glee star does it considering her quick stop at Crumbs Cupcakes in Beverly Hills earlier.

Care to take a guess at which flavor cupcakes she left with?? We think we spot some St. Paddy's Day clovers! Yumz.

Maybe she's trying to cheer herself up from her earlier disappointments…

Ps. We're drooling over that Céline handbag!!

The melt-in-your-mouth goodness of toffee, in just a few steps! Try experimenting with different types of nuts and flavors (add chili, coconut and salt to your almonds for a spicy kick) and the possibilities are endless! Toffee tastes better the next day after the flavors develop - just store in an air tight container until ready to serve!

1 1/2 cups toasted almond (or other nut) chopped
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
4 bars chocolate

Butter pan (like 7×11 or 8×8) and sprinkle 1 cup of almonds evenly over bottom. Melt butter in heavy bottom saucepan, add brown sugar and cook over medium-high heat until gently boiling. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 12 minutes, stirring constantly (if you have a candy thermometer, this will be about 300 degrees). Carefully pour onto baking sheet over almonds, and smooth with back of spoon. Arrange chocolate bars over top and let sit for a few minutes until melted. Evenly spread chocolate, and sprinkle with remaining almonds. Cool completely, and break into smaller pieces when ready to serve!

Butterfingers used to be my favorite candy …. until I started reading the labels on everything! Here is a delicious recipe for getting that peanut butter and chocolate fix in a matter of minutes! This recipe can also be gluten-free and vegan if you use the right chocolate and candy corn.

1 cup candy corn
1/3 cup peanut butter
3/4 chocolate chips

Line a small baking dish (around 5×5) with parchment paper. Add candy corn to microwave safe bowl, and heat for 30 seconds, or until melted (be careful not to overcook it). Immediately add peanut butter and stir until well mixed; if it begins to harden, microwave for 10 seconds. Pour mixture into baking dish, and smooth out with spoon. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over top, and microwave for 5-10 seconds. Spread melted chocolate chips evenly over top of peanut mixture, and put in freezer to chill - about 15 minutes. I like to cut mine in small, fun-size rectangles, and wrap in cute cellophane to serve!

With all the delicious food on display over Christmas, it can be tempting to sample every dish or even go back for seconds. If you eat clean 80% of the time, then dedicate one meal as your "cheat" meal. If dessert is your weakness, eat lean proteins and vegetables as your main meal and then enjoy a slice of chocolate cake or some ice-cream. As long as you return to your clean eating habits, then having a cheat meal is a great way to satisfy your cravings.
