We call these "walking tacos" because kids can walk around with them and eat them out of the bag. They serve them as school lunch in elementary school.

Seriously, it's like crack...sometimes I substitute strong brewed coffee for the milk in the icing to make it mocha...or a little orange extract gives it an interesting flavor.

This is by far my favorite dessert ever...so I'm pulling for them!

Texas Sheet Cake is also known as "Better Than Sex Cake" up here. I hear it called both equally.

I'm with Benzgirl though. While in Austin, finding something other than Tex-Mex or barbecue was a challenge. Those are good, but not when you have to eat at restaurants every day. There were chains .. like the same ones we have here. We did find one steakhouse but the only thing we could get and stay within our expense limits were Kobe burgers. That was the only thing ON THE WHOLE MENU less than $20.

This is the name I've heard for them too. But I think walking tacos might be a little different because the way I've had them, you use meat with taco seasoning rather than chili.
