Here are a few quick reviews. We'll start with something you just can't go wrong with - Reese's Rabbits! (Well, they are actually Mini Reester Bunnies (ouch), but I like Reese's Rabbits better):
They are cute - this guy looks funny because my bag got a bit melted - and they taste great. Not as good as the Reese's eggs in my book because there's not as much peanut butter, but a great choice nonetheless.
Caramello also has a bunny:
This bunny is cute as well (so cute he looks like the rodent version of Hello Kitty) but I think it's pretty weak on the caramel. Too little, too thin - get the amazing Cadbury caramel egg - pass on the cute bunny. (Sorry, cuteness just ain't enough when it comes to candy. I mean, I will complain if the wrapper isn't cute enough, but cuteness alone can't carry a candy. I think the only thing cuteness alone can carry is a pop star.)
I have to tell you, I really can't decide between these two:
I mean, there are differences - Hershey (on the right) is bigger and the candy coating has a different texture (smoother). But they are both good - I liked them both. You can't go wrong with either one. (Now these are not the German truffle eggs of Williams-Sonoma - but they are a cheap and good alternative). Hey - do kids really need German truffle eggs?
Here was a surprise - Snickers Sports Creme Egg:
Now I gotta tell you - I totally don't get the sports thing. Why a sports egg? Why are there tennis balls on this wrapper? What the hell is going on?
No clue - but this egg was GOOD!! Not what I expected (which was a Snickers bar in the shape of an egg) this was creamier and sweeter and delicious. You should try one! Eating a sports egg might be as close as I come to exercise on Easter.
Enjoy the day!! Have fun, eat some candy, practice your faith, celebrate spring - most of all - celebrate life.
We have been enjoying a LOT of candy since yesterday morning -- and many of the items I selected for my kid's basket are thanks to Denise. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think these candy companies need to start sending you a commission check.
The Caramello bunny looks like he has six appendages. The middle set are probably his haunches but I found it confusing at first. The bunny insect is not something I want to witness again.
ReplyDeleteBwah, ha, ha - you are right!!! I thought the same thing when I first saw him - then I thought I must have been hallucinating. Thanks for the backup!!! : )
