I am Thankful for: Chocolate Covered Flaming Hot Cheetos

Each year my friend Christie hosts an amazing foodie party where the guests bring a food dish based on a specific theme.   Competition is fierce.

Christie's husband always has some killer submissions.  And I've learned that he has a secret ingredient that makes it's way into all of his creations: flaming hot Cheetos.

Now the first year when I was invited the food theme was grilled cheese.  I ate his grilled cheese creation with more than a bit of trepidation.  It had Velveeta, spam, and flaming hot Cheetos in it.  To be honest, I thought I was going to be sick, but since he was the host, I had to try it.  I went back for thirds...

This year we were lucky to share Thanksgiving with Christie and her extended family.  I got off easy, I just had to bring chocolates.  But not just any chocolates would do for her husband.  Yup, that's right:  Chocolate Covered Flaming Hot Cheetos.  I'm pretty sure that's going to be a new Thanksgiving food tradition at their house.  That is, if her husband shared with anyone else.
