A day of Reeses

[osprey_archer]

Today was a mixed day for Reeses. In the morning I went to Dunkin Donuts, intending to get one of their Reeses doughnuts which were amaaaaaaazing, filled with peanut butter with sweet chocolate glaze on top, all in a soft yeast doughnut - but, as the past tense has no doubt warned you, they seem to have been discontinued. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Dunkin Donuts, I would have bought so many of those!!!!

But on the other hand when I was at Target later I saw Reeses cups stuffed with Reeses pieces, which I had heard about but never seen with my own eyes, so of course I had to give them a try. I was quite suspicious about it until the first bite, but actually they were good! They didn't overstuff them with Reeses pieces - I was, I must confess, envisioning a chocolate shell barely held together over a tightly-pressed cylinder of Reeses pieces - but just had a smattering of them through the peanut butter, which gave it a satisfying crunch.

While I am reviewing candy (clearly I should add a candy review feature to this blog. I have thought about doing reviews of new Starbucks food, given that I eat so much of it), I should also tip my hat to the TimTams littlerhymes sent me, which are like fancy melt-in-your-mouth KitKats. I approve!

Are the longer Tim Tams hollow? I have little baby Tim Tams and I don't think they would work very well as straws.

Not hollow, but definitely airier and meltier in the center. I'm not sure how big the small ones are (never seen them), but you can see the "original" proportions here (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/5a/ec/a0/5aeca0254e24e0ccfabb06c0159e4fc1.jpg) (and the kind of airy/moussy filling here (https://alifelikeours.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/a9e1_timtambiscuitbite__minisite.jpg?w=640))

...and now I want a Tim Tam /o\ I'm from Israel, and over time Tim Tams became so popular in Israel by word-of-mouth of Israeli tourists in Australia, that the company started to produce a line of kosher Tim Tams so they cold be imported here in bulk.
