We love good food here at F&W, but we're not above slipping great supermarket treats—like halvah, candy corn and potato chips—into our otherwise-homemade snacks.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Bars

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: Ice Cream and Chocolate Toffee Candy

Break-and-bake cookies, which come packaged in eight-inch squares, are the secret to these incredible ice cream sandwich bars. Simply roll out all the dough to create one giant cookie, then bake, slice and layer it with store-bought ice cream and hot fudge sauce. The best part: dipping the bars into crushed chocolate toffee candy to form a supercrunchy shell.

Chocolate-Mint Thumbprints

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: Andes Mint Candies

These thumbprints have a creamy, minty white-chocolate filling. Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito often mix chopped Andes mint candies into the batter, but any kind of mint-flavored chocolate works well.

Halvah-Sesame Sundae

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: Halvah

Bill Yosses shares, "My passion for halvah (the sesame-seed candy) is no secret. I love its crunchy, gritty, nutty flavor. I first started eating it in Paris at the pâtisseries orientales: the Middle Eastern sweet shops in the fifth arrondissement, near La Sorbonne. The flavor of halvah works well with caramel. Sesame is the new vanilla!"

Spotted Porcupine Cookies

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: M&M's and Pretzel Sticks

Catherine Ralston, an 11-year-old whose other culinary creations include Leaning Tower of Pizza Burgers and Ohana Pineapple Steak, likes animals, polka dots and cookies. Her porcupine cookies have pretzel-stick "quills," with M&M's doubling as polka dots. She says, "I thought pretzels would be good in cookies because salty can go well with sweet."

Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Espresso Whipped Cream

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: Glazed Donuts

"This recipe was created over a breakfast of —what else?—Krispy Kremes," says Armstrong. "I was planning the menu for RokBar in Hollywood and trying to come up with a fun, creative dessert." The espresso-infused whipped cream makes a brilliant, and equally decadent, topping.

S'mores Pizzas

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: Chocolate Bars and Marshmallows

Chris Ainsworth makes all kinds of seasonal dessert flatbreads at his restaurant, but his s'mores version is a year-round favorite. While baking the flatbreads in the oven is easier, they're also delicious grilled; just be sure to set the dough away from direct heat so the bottom doesn't burn before the toppings melt.

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: Popcorn

Dr Pepper–Glazed Ham with Prunes

Go to Recipe

Ingredient: Dr. Pepper

Most smoked hams are sold fully cooked, so "why bake them again?" meat master Bruce Aidells asks, before answering his own question: to improve the texture and add a homemade glaze—in this case, one made with Dr Pepper soda and prunes—for extra flavor. After the ham is cooked, Aidells reduces the pan juices and tosses in prunes to make a sauce. "Glazes flavor only the outside of the ham," he says. "But you can spoon pan sauces over every slice."
