Mini Eggs may be Jesus' posthumous Easter gift to the world. Sure the opportunity for eternal salvation and leading a reichous life is intriguing but mini eggs... they're the real deal. Those tiny purple bags glimmer from the impulse shelves of grocery stores like a shinny penny in a fountain. Like an industrial fire alarm they call out to me to pluck them from their exposed shelves and bring them back to the clean and secure glass jar I have sitting empty in my cupboard.
Let's break it down, shall we? Let's start first with the smell. Oh the intoxicating smell of chocolate - even the shittiest brand still smells like heaven. But with the mini egg you have two smells going on: theres the sweet hint of sugar in the candy shell and the rich allure of the chocolate contained within. They say the majority of what we taste is actually associated with the products smell so BAM! right off the bat mini eggs are great.
Cadbury chocolate. Not the finest of fine chocolates but for those that don't sleep on a mattress of money and are looking for an above average indulgence, Cadbury will be there to satisfy your cacao desires. It has a much better consistency than its watery, waxy counterpart, Hershey and therefore quenches that mouth-coating craving much more effectively.
I do realize that I've gone on for quite some time about nothing more than a bite sized candy, but once you've tried one of these gems you'll be in my boat for sure and will only wish to contribute your personal delights in this delectable treat.
In my parting words of wisdom, allow me to alert you to the news that not only are Mini-Eggs are now available in dark chocolate as well as milk chocolate, but many fine retailers are now offering these pearls of happiness year round. Yes, you heard correctly - if your heart so desired, you could walk into a market in July, pick up some popsicles and coke, some chips and guac, some hamburger patties and corn, and a one pound bag of mini-eggs for your summer BBQ later that night. 'Aint life grand!!
