well i was going to just let this blog fall into oblivion, but after spending a day basically eating nothing but sugar and hydrogenated oils, it seems like this really is my calling. plus, today is the miracle day when delicious candy in attractive pastel packaging is 50% off (OR MORE!) so in honor of easter... here's a new post:
these are the things i ate yesterday:
Cadbury Creme Egg - of course, the good old easter standby! this used to be my absolute favorite easter candy, and i looked forward to these all year long. even the old commercial, with the clucking rabbit (and the deranged kids shouting, "THANKS EASTER BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1") made me drool with anticipation. nowadays, i hate to admit they're almost too sweet for me. i still had one this year, out of tradition more than anything else, but i had to have a cup of black coffee alongside...
Marshmallow Peeps - actually these may be more iconic than the Cadbury Creme Egg. this year, i mixed it up a bit and tried the cocoa bunnies. actually, i liked them quite a bit. the cocoa flavor is subtle with no artificial aftertaste. the only minor issues are the fact that brown peeps are not quite as attractive as the BRIGHT PURPLE or BRIGHT BLUE variety, and the texture of these is somehow a little softer than a "normal" peep. for those of us who prefer our peeps stale and rubbery, a softer peep is not necessarily a good thing.
Reese's Peanut Butter Egg - i don't know exactly why, but for whatever reason, the Egg does not taste exactly the same as a Peanut Butter Cup. the ratio of peanut butter to chocolate is different, or the peanut butter is a little saltier and grainier, or these have been sprinkled with magical Easter Bunny dust of joy and cholesterol-related happiness. whatever the reason, i really love these (and i am somewhat ambivalent towards the regular old PB Cup...)
so, nothing out of the ordinary, but 100% deliciousness. look forward to posts on a more regular basis now that i'm bored at work and trying to keep myself entertained. :)
