Touched By the Hand of God

So last week I was at the CVS drug store by where I work. There were some things I had to pick up. It's Easter time, and like any other chain drug store in America right now, CVS has an aisle completely dedicated to Easter candy. I was trolling for Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. These are one of my favorites when it comes to chocolate and candy and all that.


They sell them in packs of six, and just one wouldn't do. I needed the six-pack. And you have to buy them almost as soon as the drug stores start stocking them or else you get stale candy, and no one likes that chalky-tasting chocolate with the white patina on it. The peanut butter gets all dry and nasty, too. So, I was walking down the aisle and something caught my eye. I saw the words "Reester Bunny," and right away, I knew what it was. A chocolate Easter bunny filled with Reese's peanut butter! Right away I bought two because I knew of a friend who would want one, too.

Chris, the friend who I gave the other one to ate ALL OF IT on Saturday night. The 6" x 1.5" x 1" bunny is a whole lot of Reese's. According to the 'nutritional' information on the back, it's to be consumed as four servings. Each serving contains 20% of your daily saturated fat. That's a whole lotta animal fat. At least the cholesterol and carb counts are pretty low...but the calories are high: 190 per serving.

So I brought my Reester Bunny to work today. I'm hoping that it will last all week, but the head is already gone. Five ounces of pure Reese's goodness.

You know you want one.
