You have no idea the excitement that goes through my head when I see them set up the Easter stuff at the store. Holy geez, seriously. I have stalked the WalMart Easter section waiting for the box of these to arrive. They aren't usually like the 5 kinds of jellybeans that are the first to arrive and the last to sell out. Once they arrive there's like ONE box and once they're gone...that's it till next Easter. This shortage has driven me to buy the family size bags of these things and slowly work through them over the following MONTHS! One Easter years ago my mom opted to just get me a bag of these rather than a million different kinds of candy. Apparently nobody informed my little brother that partaking of my treasured candy was the 8th deadly sin... if I hadn't been able to go to the store in emergency mode and replace the eaten bag things would have gotten really ugly. But luckily I managed to find a bag at some store and was able to calm the monster inside me.
These aren't even my favorite ones (although they are super tasty and I enjoy the darker colors of the sugar shell.)
But, even though they aren't the specific ones I was looking for, I grabbed them anyway just in case the next time I go to the store they don't have ANY! I introduced Lincoln to these delicious drops of heaven and though he was quite skeptical b/c of his distaste of the classic Cadbury CREME Eggs he announced quickly after, "you probably should have gotten more than one bag."I'm pretty sure he's been eating them for breakfast.
Title taken from the infamous Chitty Chitty Band Bang song of the same.
