The best examples I can think of are from traditional Japanese dessert/candy, which frequently uses <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_bean_paste" REL="nofollow">sweet red bean paste</A> and chestnut paste. There's also almond paste (a somewhat different creature than regular marzipan) and the nut paste used to fill baklava.

I lean heavily toward the creamy -- caramel is my heart's delight -- but many of the combinations you mention are, well, swoon-worthy.<BR/>I am not a chocolate person - slightly allergic to it, and it always tastes bitter to me -- but that frees me up for devotion to lots of other things.GraceAnne LadyHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218782604391016011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-85488855319567520762009-01-10T19:07:00.000-05:002009-01-10T19:07:00.000-05:00Sweet studies is a very serious and important subj...Sweet studies is a very serious and important subject, SAVanVleck.

However, while I adore black and white cookies, thin mints, etc., those things tend to be treats rather than staples. I'd have to say my favorite go-to deserts have always been of the plain, dry variety. Like, ginger snaps. <BR/><BR/>Although, after reading your post again, I'll admit I often gravitate to the driest sweet taste with a hint of the creamy. And, yes, after living in Scotland, I have to say the chocolate-covered digestives are the top of the heap. <BR/><BR/>Now, I need to go make the best ginger cookies ever (I veganize mine, cut the sugar by a quarter, and use half whole-wheat pastry flour):<BR/>http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Big-Soft-Ginger-Cookies/Detail.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-18870927599303763952009-01-10T18:16:00.000-05:002009-01-10T18:16:00.000-05:00I am one of those disgusting people who love it al...I am one of those disgusting people who love it all mixed up. Crunchy and smooth, sweet and salty, ice cream and cake and whip cream, cheese melted on apple pie. <BR/><BR/>I just never dissected it.
