Palmer's! Connoisseurs probably don't like it, but I do. After a holiday that features candy (Valentine's day, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas), I go to the bulk food section of the grocery store and stock up because the price drops to 98 cents a pound. It freezes well.

But it's not Easter until I bite the ears off a chocolate bunny. And you are so right, chocolate flavored is blasphemy.

13. Fun fact: Cadbury Eggs are made in the US now

They're made by Hershey's, I guess Hershey bought out their trademank in the US. Reese's is also a Hershey brand, of course.

It's possible to purchase British-made Cadbury's if you go on the Amazon-UK website and order them from Britain. Of course the shipping cost is higher so you have to decide if better quality (yum!) chocolate is worth it. Also allow up to 10 days for shipping, but it will probably get to you faster than 10 days.

Easter candy is usually too sweet and of lower quality than regular candy.
Chocolate has little chocolate taste and leaves an empty sweetness in your mouth.
I'm convinced most candy makers see Easter as a way to get quick profits by making cheap, sub par products because people don't comparison shop as with regular candy.

the extra peanut butter-- in contrast to the chocolate-- in those fat little eggs (compared to regular peanut butter cups) is just sooo satisfying...

except I treat myself to one sugar egg. I get one for each of my kids every year also. One of our traditions.

They are solid sugar but so good!

Seriously, who the fuck says care-uh-mel except jackasses and pisspots?

I also really like black jelly beans.

Peeps fucking suck, and anyone who likes peeps for anything other than microwaving or doing awesome experiments is also a jackass and a pisspot. They're so goddamn sweet and sticky. Fuck'em. Absolute shit, like the palates of the shitstains that like them.


Yeah, that's right - angry as fuck Rabrrrrrr is fuckin' back, at least for tonight.

p.s. I love you all! My heart embiggens with Hallmark-levels of joy at your presence.

To heck with specialization. That's just an excuse to be wrong. If Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite the other 364 days then they are my favorite on Easter also.

At least one full bag.
