Tasty Thing: Cadbury Mini-Eggs

So everyone knows Reese's Eggs are the star of the Easter candies. Peeps are cute and all, but Reese's Eggs are actually delicious (whereas 2+ Peeps will make you vom).

But MY favorite Easter candy, hands down, are Cadbury Mini-Eggs. God damn. The shell is super crunchy and the chocolate is so milky and melty. Plus I like that they go the extra mile and dust the cocoa powder on the eggs to make them look real.



WARNING: Sometimes the shells are SO crispy that after you bite them, a little shard will break off and stab your hard palate. This review words it nicely:

Advantages: Chocolate
Disadvantages: Spiky bits hurt yer gums

Seriously, it hurts a LOT, so be careful!

Tasty Thing: Carr's Cheese Melt Crackers

These are the most delicious crackers I have tasted in a long time. I haven't been this excited about a cracker since Carr's Rosemary Crackers (which are my #1 jam!).

I had them over the holidays with cream cheese and lox and capers and onions (I just used the cream cheese. All that other stuff... not so much.). They were delightful! Light and crispy. Nice and big and sturdy enough to hold lots of toppings.

The key to their tastiness is the onion flavoring. Not only is there a burnt cheese/parmesan-y taste, but there's a distinct onion taste. Almost chive-y.

I think these would be good with more cheese on top (perhaps a brie, something spreadable) or cream cheese with dill and cucumber. OR ham and a sheep's milk cheese.

Yums.
