Biden-Trump Mud Pie

We thought we’d push aside all the political mudslinging from your feed and opt for something better instead: mud pie. More specifically, Biden-Trump Mud Pie.

We combined one of Donald Trump’s favorite foods (Oreos) with one of Joe Biden’s favorite foods (peanut butter ice cream) for a little Election Day treat. Enter the Biden-Trump Mud Pie. Whip it up and have a sweet treat for what might be a long Election night. I think it’s safe to say everyone could use a little extra sweetness right now.

Oreo cookies are on Donald Trump’s fav snack food list. In fact, Air Force One is regularly stocked with Oreos, despite Trump’s love-hate relationship with them in the past.

As for Joe Biden, it’s no secret that the former VP loves ice cream. Back in April it was reported his campaign had spent more than $10,000 on ice cream so far. There’s even a Tumblr page dedicated to his obsession. One of his favorite flavors is peanut butter.

Even if we don’t always see eye to eye on policies, life is so much sweeter when we combine our efforts for good. No more mudslinging. Just mud pie.
