Chocolate Chip Cookie Cravings

A few nights ago, at about 9:30 pm, my husband decided he wanted warm chocolate chip cookies.  After throwing a lot of flattering comments at me about how wonderful a baker I am (clearly an attempt to get his way), I got off the couch and made him cookies.  Because, when it comes to baking, I am a sucker for whatever he or my daughter may want. 

Okay, fine.  I'm a sucker for whatever they might want, baking or not.  Sue me. :)

But the request got me thinking . . . what sweet item do you crave?  What is it that can make you get up off the couch at 9:30 at night and whip up a batch, or run to the nearest bakery at 5:00 am to pick up their freshest version?  What is that one sweet that enters your mind occasionally and refuses to leave until satisfied?

I ask for three reasons.  One:  I would really like to better know my readers and what they want to hear. Two:  I would LOVE to hear more ideas of recipes I can research to transform them into any of the following:  gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, nutt-free, or vegan.  

And three . . . because I wanted to tell you my secret addiction.  Warm chocolate.  Brownies specifically. :)  Warm chocolate is simply in a whole different league than just a chocolate bar . . . 

So, start talking!!  What is it that YOU crave?
