Everything is bigger in Texas

If you want a dessert that's easily enough to share for 5-6, go to Tillman's Roadhouse.  How did I come to learn this valuable lesson?

Let's start with the chocolate cake.  I think they put those little Toy Story's army men knock offs to show you the sheer size differential.  Unfortunately, bigger doesn't always mean better.  You could taste the granules (sugar granules probably) so it wasn't creamy and smooth like you want your chocolate cake and chocolate icing to be.

The peanut butter chocolate chip cookie tower with banana ice cream, chocolate icing, and chocolate sauce was equally overwhelming, but in a good way.  I can't get enough of pb & chocolate.  And PS - it refrigerates quite well.  I won't belabor anymore on how it was your average "good pb chocolate chip" dessert.

The smores.  Um.  Where to begin.  Oh yeah, the history if smores, so I've heard.  This dessert comes with several different HUGE marshmellow flavors: orange, maple and coffee as well as cinnamon grahams and dark chocolate bark.  And a very powerful flame thingy.  I would estimate that this serves 8+.  I'm not a general fan of smores (it's too nauseatingly sweet for me...I know shocker), but the variety and the experience of it is wonderful.  These, too, refrigerate well (they don't give you the flame thingy) and are perfect for the next morning breakfast.
