Easter Candy (most and least favorite)

[Gadough]

The Reese's Peanut Butter Egg is the greatest of all. The ratio of peanut butter to chocolate is incredible.

+9001

ok i am from scotland and wee dont get peeps what are they? and also whats a twinkey?

[WindMaster]

Peeps are disgusting little marshmallow birds covered in colored sugar. They are fun to microwave because you can watch them melt and get really big. Otherwise, they have absolutely no redeeming quality.

[Gadough]

I've never tried Peeps. The testimonies from people of how bad they are (as such can be seen in this thread) has always scared me away.

[black_biff_stadler]

They also seem to taste stale no matter how fresh they are. They're right on par with circus peanuts and candy corn in terms of shittiness and nearly as bad as black jelly beans but nowhere near as good as black_floyd.

[WindMaster]

yum, black_floyd.

[black_biff_stadler]

yum, black_floyd.

[lonestar]

Even better is microwaving black_floyd, fucking entertaining for the whole family.

[SystematicThought]

I got some Sour Patch Kids in my basket and of course Reese's Eggs

Watch him EXPLODE.

[black_biff_stadler]

yum, black_floyd.

Watch him EXPLODE.

No one's ever said "yum" after tasting one of my explosions I can assure you.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I have, but it's usually when I'm drunk.

[black_biff_stadler]

[lonestar]

Wow, you made floyd uncomfortable, that's impressive.

[black_biff_stadler]

  Nah. Takes way more than that but that gif is sometimes the perfect response to a post.

What exactly does it take, Floid?

[lonestar]

Yeah, um, you probably don't want to go there bud.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

No, it's fine. I'm ready. 

[black_biff_stadler]

Anything involving top 40 music or domestic beer.

circus peanuts are deeeeee-licious.  everything else I agree with.

I like every one of those things: Peeps, circus peanuts, candy corn and black jelly beans.

So, YOU'RE the one.

Peeps, I get.  It's marshmallow and sugar.  Not sure what the problem is.

Circus peanuts...  Like 'em or not, there's a reason they sell like crazy.

Candy corn...  Personally, I think it is vile, but I know enough people like it.

But black jelly beans?  Ew.

[lonestar]

For me, the thing with Peeps is that it's not just marshmallow, it is the most stale, vile, ancient marshmallow they could find right out of the package, every time.



I didn't list black jelly beans because I do not consider them candy.  They are a cruel reminder from God that life has it's downsides too.

Not sure where people are getting their Peeps from, but for the ones I've eaten right out of the package, they have almost always been fresh, soft, and fluffy like you would want marshmallows to be.  If they were always stale, I could definitely understand people not liking them, but that is not my experience. 

Tangent:  They should include leftover Easter candy as mystery ingredients on Chopped.  (and not for the dessert course)

Tangent somewhat related to previous tangent:  Arje, are you watching Chopped All Stars?  If you plan to and haven't seen this week's yet, I will reserve comments so as not to spoil anything, other than to say there is one Iron Chef in particular that I cannot stand who was competing, and thankfully did not win last night's round.

[SystematicThought]

I also got Nerd's Ropes in my basket. Delightful.

Also, I hate Peep's too, but my mom did something creative with them this year,

[HarlequinForest]

I like Peeps.  And I LOVE candy corn.

So, um, I like black jelly beans.

However, I don't like licorice.

[lonestar]

My world is shattered.

[hefdaddy42]

My world is shattered.

Third one so far today.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Licorice sucks.

[lonestar]

My world is shattered.

You're a beast.   *erases name from sand*

[slycordinator]

Most people these days don't actually know what real licorice tastes like and end up thinking that stuff like anise is the taste of licorice. It's because of an overreaction to the fact that licorice root has a component that when consumed in very excessive amounts can increase can cause heart problems.

For Easter my parents introduced me to these dark chocolate Ghirardelli squares with sea salt caramel inside.  First dark chocolate anything I've put into my mouth and truly enjoyed.  It must have been anointed by the gods.
