Huh, well maybe they were just new to me this year. I dont like regular Cadbury creme eggs so I wouldn't have looked for them and discovered the variations. My mom, a fellow chocoholic, alerted me to them. They weren't called fudge eggs though. Definitely chocolate creme.

Comments (31)Where to begin? Cookies: Any of my late mother's cookie recipes. My favorites are the Swedish Cut-out cookies and Wolferman's Four O'Clocks. I also adore the Joy of Cooking Butterscotch Brownies. Pies: All time favorite is Wolferman's Rum Cream pie. Also adore Pumpkin pie (nothing on it), Buttermilk pie, Pecan pie, Apple pie, and the Coconut Cream pie the Woman's Exchange used to make. Cakes: Angel food (must be homemade using my grandmother's recipe), yellow cake with boiled caramel frosting. I adore my mother's recipe for Fruit Cake as well. Candy: Oh let me count the ways! Anything that is dark chocolate. I love Karl Bissinger's candy in St Louis, and La Maison du Chocolat. Ice Cream: Jeni's Salted Caramel, Graeter's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Graeter's Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chip, B&R Pralines 'n Cream, B&R Peanut Butter and Chocolate. LOVED B&R's Chocolate Raspberry Truffle and a really old one Cream de Camamel - haven't seen that one in over 30 years! Cheesecake: Mrs Porter's recipe, either with cherry pie filling on top, or sour cream. She made the very best cheese cake on earth and was generous to share her recipe. I love a good fruit clafoutis. A dessert souffle is sublime. Chocolate mousse. Eton Mess, Hot raspberry souffle - TDF! Raspberries with sugar and cream. Yes, I do like my sweets! Tonight, it was sliced fresh Pennsylvania peaches (I think they are far better than any southern peach) with some dark brown sugar on them....See MoreFloof: It's NOT thanksgiving without...
Comments (88)Iris,me and SO have an arrangement for holidays. I go to my family's thing, He goes to his family's thing,and then we come home happy to each other. Both of us are welcome and invited to each other's family events,but that is how we do it. There is no expectation from his family that i will be there,and none from mine that he will be there. I won't say there is no family foolishness,but I don't have to deal with his and he doesn't have to deal with mine. It probably helps that my family is flexible. No one in our family is stuck on having the family together on the actual day of the holiday. My sister is hosting thanksgiving on thursday,my mom will be having another big dinner (not turkey) on friday. I am working both nights though,so no party for me. :( I hear more and more that holidays are a source of stress because of family drama. Makes me sad. If a holiday is not enjoyable, what's the point? Iris,I would totally bail on thanksgiving this year in your shoes. Who wants to "celebrate" with someone who is always upset about something? On thanksgiving of all days????...See MoreFestive floof! A little early but WHATEVER! I wanna know...
Comments (36)Jupidupi, I see popcorn balls every year! They are always in the same aisle as all the trick or treat candy! I have seen them this year too. NOT my favorite but I appreciate the tradition. Jasdip, I always try to have some savory treats as well. Pretzels or chips in small bags. And always cheez balls. My non-candy treat bowl has a variety of savory and sweet stuff. Both because I know some people don't like sweets and because I know that a lot of these drivers that come through here have probably not been able to stop and eat all day or all night, and sometimes they just need a snack to hold em over until they can stop for a real meal or go home for one. As for my candy decision, I will likely do what i did last year. That is, I WILL leave some candy here on my off days. If, when i come back after that first set of nights off, and there is little to no candy left and it is reported to me that the candy bowls were not CONTINUALY stocked, then I will flip my witch switch and only bring it when I am here. That woman actually had the nerve to blame "those greedy truck drivers" for eating all the candy and snacks when I was on my off days last year. Clearly, she was too high on a sugar rush to remember that my SO (one of those truck drivers she speaks of with such contempt) would come in there 6 days a week, and would tell me that when i was not there, all 3 of my treat bowls were always empty, but her desk and face were FULL of candy. But I always give her and the others a FAIR CHANCE every year not to be a greedy pig. If they blow it, well, no more candy for you swine. To his credit, the other night minion usually buys a few bags of candy and puts it out on the nights he works. He is meaner than me though. He will wait until she comes in to relieve him, then will walk over there, get the candy and lock it up in his locker right in front if her. Another funny story. Last year, I did just that. When I left for my nights off I took all my candy with me. The other night minion brought a big bag in and locked it in a cabinet. (He did not do THAT in front of her.) Anyway, when my SO came in to load one morning, she confronted him and told him to tell me that she FOUND where I hid the candy! She had noticed the cabinet was locked, surmised that there was candy in there, found a screwdriver and TOOK THE HINGES OFF THE CABINET to get to the candy, open the bag and binge. And then when she saw me she confronted me quite aggressively about it and asked me why did i hide "the" candy. (As if its community property) I DID start with a reminder that if a decide to lock up any candy that I buy, that is my decision that should be respected. But, when I told her that the candy that she detected like a truffle pig was not mine, but the other night minions, her face was quite priceless. They do not get along you see, and she was quite embarrassed. Why she wasn't embarrassed by such behavior if the candy had been mine I do not know. She and the other night minion are on shift when I am off. MY day shift counterpart does eat some candy, but not nearly to the same degree. And that's fine. The candy is for everyone, but with the understanding that my candy stash is NOT a food pantry, and as adults, its expected that you would be able to control yourself. If they cant do that, well, I cut em off! This woman (the hinge remover) was my partner in the weight loss challenge, BTW. And I agreed to be her partner next year. I hated to lose the contest but took pleasure in the knowledge that I whooped her behind to the tune of 11 pounds, as I lost 17 and she lost 6, even with her weight loss surgery. ( I know I am TERRIBLE)...See MorePie floof! what's your favorite
Comments (101)"I have lived in the San Franciso Bay area by the way." I said nothing disparaging about the South other than to say fried food is much more common than in other parts of the country. And that parts of Missouri I've been to (yes, the southern part) seemed much more "Southern" than not. That was in response to littlebug's photo showing that cafe's every special that day, dessert included, was fried. I'm sure living in different places had many positive aspects for you. Are you the person who mentioned some time ago having spent time living in Davis? With the exception of UCD that gives it some of a college town vibe that could be anywhere, I think Davis is much more accurately described as a Sacramento Valley location than a Bay Area one. Don't you?...See More
5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoI'm addicted to these. I freeze them and then suck off the candy coating. And when they're frozen it prevents me from gulping them down.
