THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CREAMERS


Staying cool in a local 7/11 while waiting to end a phone call with my boss so I could catch my train I noticed Reese's Peanut Butter Creamer amongst the Flavor enhancers by the Coffee station and was somewhat taken aback but with pleasure. I even dabbed a drop on a Napkin piece to sample it after I searched and discovered that the International Delight line of Flavored Creamers was for sale in the Dairy section.

This began as a possibly promising new hobby as I do Drink Coffee daily and even though at the moment take mine Black with Sugar I am not against some Flavoring especially if it might make my cup of joe taste a bit like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

Is it still Coffee then ?
Thats a whole other conversation.

The Reese's Creamer was pretty damn superb and tasted just as it should.
Like a Reeses Peanut Butter Coffee.


My promising new hobby may have come to an all too quick finish as I tried my second choice in the Flavor running.

While I investigated the availability of the International Delight Creamers that fateful night in 7/11 whence the Reese's was discovered I took note of some of the other perfumes on offer and White Chocolate Raspberry stood out as a serious contender for Taste Bud elevation.

While this variety does indeed taste exactly as it should it was not as exciting as the Reeses, I even just today took great enjoyment in having two cups of Coffee without Creamer but I am not beaten yet or should I reword that.

My Creaming Days Are Not Over Yet.

FRIEND OR FAUX - Fake Pudding Cake/Fun With Frosting


Had a dream about Boston Cream Pie (in the dream it was Cake) for no discernible reason at all, I am not a big fan and have never even ordered it from a Menu but upon waking thought to myself that I may never have had a slice proper at all.

Ideas began to buzz as they will especially at 6 a.m. and I contrived an easy way out.

Vanilla Pudding (only after purchase was I thinking Vanilla is not Boston Cream), Pound Cake Slices and Chocolate Frosting, DONE !!! well not so. I burnt the Pudding as it was made in the microwave in consideration of Cristinas washing the pots, pans and dishes and wound up making more work for her as the Pudding over boiled causing it to overflow into the Oven, Right In The Garbage it went, or more like down the drain.

*I was lightly chastised then napped.

In the interim Cristina made the other package of Butterscotch Pudding I purchased and wound up burning the Pot a bit, Thats It !!! only prepackaged Pudding from here on in. 

Sandwiched the Butterscotch between Pound Cake Slices and Drizzled Microwaved Chocolate Frosting over the top, this was a chancy operation but came out after refrigeration much better than I expected. Most Tasty and even if I was served this at a party there would be no complaints from me.


*I knew I had to let the Pudding set so to waylay any longing purchased was a Table Talk Boston Cream Pie. It still sits in the fridge, I took a nap instead.

BUTTERFINGER PEANUT BUTTER CUP EGGS - "Another box of BUTTAH PINGAH !!!"


The Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Egg garners a post on here just for the mere fact that I have probably purchased 8 packages thus far and the 2016 run looks to be over.

6 one ounce Eggs per package.

Spotted while Food shopping at La Bella Marketplace on the 2 FOR $6.00 Leftover Easter Candy shelf I bought 2 packages, then another 2 and so on as the weeks passed by. They have in that time been further marked down (but not advertised to my chagrin) to a stunning 99 cents per pack and I just a few days ago acquired what looked to be the last 2 bundles.

So thats about 48 Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Eggs in all.
as of this update (7/27/16) 11 Eggs remain yet the expiration date is still - months in advance being in November.


Since all health minded people scarf down Candy this is a helpful reminder of the calories within (sarcasm abounds).


Its what it says it is and is mouth waveringly scrumptious when in the mood for sweets. 

Peanut Butter on top, Butterfinger Crunch on bottom yet still commingled enrobed in Milk Chocolate.

BUTTERFINGER PEANUT BUTTER CUPS, YO


Prince of Cups since time Immemorial has been the Only Cup, Dare I even have to emote the name REESES here. Well,..... 

(OK Mallo Cups Were Even before Reeses dating as far back as the Mallozoic age)

I was not insulted as I could very easily have been upon seeing this product upon the shelf today, I even took a photo with my iPhone since everyone has a Dick Tracy pocket camera in this sad age.


So Butterfinger is going to make a PEANUT BUTTER CUP.

OK, I suppose you cannot really trademark that but I am always intrigued to try a new Candy.

First off I noticed upon carefully removing said Cups from Case that they were not Individually wrapped as we are all so used to but no biggie.

These are square shaped instead of round,... Well, you can have a square cup as well so long as it is bowl shaped.

Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups can only be described as a Reeses with Butterfinger Flakes dispersed throughout the Peanut Butter Cream, also the Cream is not as crumbly as a Reeses but the Flakes attenuate towards the Crumbly part. I can only hope these stick around as so many Candy experiments fall by the wayside over the months, years and decades. Absolutely Delicious.

I once had this idea to combine Nougat, Caramel and Nuts and cover it in Chocolate but everyone Snickered at me.

M & M's CHOCOLATE BAR



Oftentimes we all hear a little snippet of dialogue from complete strangers that stick with us. I was in my local Convenience Store/Deli/Bodega and I heard a young boy telling his mom "M & M's Candy Bar is the Best one in the world, Hershey's is the Best but M & M's is second" I smiled to myself and went about my business. On returning to the store a few days later I picked up an M & M's Candy Bar on the way out.

One might say what's the point, its Candy Shell mixed into Chocolate, well let's see about this.

This is quite good, what it is is plain M & M's immersed into a Chocolate Bar form shell and all.

Thanks Kid.
