As home cooks, we all have our little special tricks and recipes that we’ve come up with or use in the kitchen that we don’t always share. But when Reddit user “What_the_a” asked people to share the cooking secrets they’ll never tell, the results were pretty shocking. Here are the most upvoted and interesting answers.
Use the Recipe on the Back of the Box
“The recipe on the back of the Tollhouse chocolate chip bag, follow it to the letter. Everyone thinks I have the best of the best chocolate chip cookies,” revealed Reddit user “Countessvonfangbang”.
“I begged my grandmother for her banana pudding recipe and 30 years later, people still beg me to make it. I’ve had drug dealers trade me drugs for it (back in the day lol). I discovered about 10 years in, its [sic] the ****king recipe off of the Nilla wafer box,” said Reddit user “Knave2none”.
Store-Bought Ingredients Work
“My pumpkin pies are well-regarded in my friend circle but the secret is the crust is just crushed up Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger cookies and melted butter,” said Reddit user “Kaophyre”.
“My snickerdoodle recipe. Brother in law LOVES them, more than his mother’s (from scratch). Mine are chunks of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Stupid easy. I will never tell,” admitted Reddit user “Blossomteacher”.
