Dorito Oreo Popcorn
Ok I realize this sounds crazy, but just go with me here…
You know how everyone has at least one weird food that they just love. Or some really weird combination… Well my super-indulgent-crazy-processed-cryptonite is a combination of Oreos and Nacho Cheese Doritos. I’m sure this stems from my childhood and getting a bag of Doritos and some Oreos in my lunch every once and a while.
I love snacks. I could eat snacks all day. The main reason I don’t is because we just don’t keep snacks in the house. Hubby, on the other hand, is not a snacker. Again, that’s why we don’t keep snacks in the house. But about once a year, I get a craving for Doritos. So instead of scarfing down some Doritos by them self, I decided to bring back this classic crazy lunch-box flavor combination.
I based the idea off the White Chocolate Frito Popcorn that was such a success last year. So I subbed the Doritos in for the Fritos and the Oreos in for the M&Ms. It worked like a charm. This popcorn is sweet from the chocolate and the Oreos. And it’s salty from the popcorn and Doritos. And it’s crunchy. And super addictive.

This look sinful…but oh, so good! By the way, I like how one of the labels on this post is “anti-WW friendly.” 🙂
Well I figured if I’m going to have a WW-friendly tag, I should also have one for things that people watching their weight should stay far far away from. This is definitely one of those recipes.
Why must you torture me?! I so need to get back on track this week. Thick batter = good, thick waist does not! These sound delicious 🙂
These babies are good! I made them not long after I started blogging…oh, my gosh almost two years ago. Guess it’s time to make them again!

Oh yum! I have a feeling Oreos are going to be added to my shopping list.
I am posting a link to these on my blog. Everyone needs a good Oreo recipe!
These look amazing! Just put them on my “must make” list 🙂
