Gonna Get Me A Piece Of Reese’s by Cullen James
This is normally a guitar article. Sometimes, though, you just gotta let it go and do what has to be done. See, Easter is almost upon us. Well, it’s still technically a month away, the stores would have you believe that the holiday is tomorrow. As such, with overriding sense of foreboding, I must pay tribute to one of the greatest things mankind has ever put forth. It rises forth this time of the year and touches the souls of all mankind. It is – the Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg. I am powerless to its charms. Every time this year I must limit my trips to the store. Because if I walk by an aisle with those damn eggs on them, I will pick up a package. I believe one year I bought over 10 damn packages through the month of March. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are pretty good, but there’s something about the egg that just sets it apart from its brethren. The chocolate-to-peanut butter ratio may be different or something – I don’t know – but these things are the best. So, what about you? Any Easter-time-only treats that render you helpless?

I am totally with you on this, Cullen. I am a Reese's whore to begin with, so the peanut butter eggs are like candygasms to me.

As good as the Reese's Egg is, this is the time of year I can overdose on Cadbury Caramel Eggs. Not the creme, the chocolate creme is good too, but the caramel is da bomb. I bite a small hole into one and suck the caramel out first and THEN let the chocolate shell implode and I suck it ALL through the small hole. Yes...my wife married me JUST for my cooking, why do you ask?
Also, I'm a firm believer that there is no other jelly bean other than Jelly Bellys. But, I keep a jar of those on my desk year 'round. Yes, it's expensive, but my people seem to be able to come talk to me under the pretense of grabbing jelly beans and it's caused more good than I can list.
I've never had a fresh peep, so I can't say what I think of them. I suppose I should buy a pack...this week versus waiting for Easter huh?

Cadbury was the shit until Dove came along. I can only handle chocolates like that in small doses, but I love Dove.
Still, Reese's are where it's at.

Alright, I read this and went to Wally World ten minutes later. I had to wage war with myself, in order to pass up the Reeses Eggs!
