Block out 16 hours for a nap after eating this crippling twist on an Elvis favorite: grilled buttered bread served with peanut butter, bananas, mini marshmallows, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, sprinkled with powdered sugar to make it all pretty.

Twinkie casserole

We think this homey dish may have been conceived when those twinkies-aren't-baked rumors were sweeping the nation. Here they are, baked together, just like God intended it.

IHOP Who-Cake

We know of parents delighting their kids by making them green eggs and ham, but this menu item—developed by the Seuss chefs at IHOP in 2008 to tie in with the Horton Hears a Who! film campaign—turns Seussian fantasy into terrifyingly treacly reality. The Who-Cake (registered trademark) is a sugary blue and pink frosted pancake mountain topped with sprinkles and a lollipop. Not sure why they didn't incorporate Beezlenut syrup somewhere into this thing.

And like most train wrecks, we can't turn away. Join us on this voyage into the heart of culinary darkness.
