I'm not a religious person at all, so for me this time of year is really jellybean season. But as an American, it doesn't stop there... no, every candy you can possibly imagine becomes egg-shaped a couple of months before Easter.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Mr. peanutandsoap was kind enough to send forth plenty of egg-shaped goodness. The Cadbury Mini Eggs are one of my favorites; that hard candy shell is really just crack compressed beyond snortability into something much more magical. I didn't even know egg-shaped M&Ms existed until I opened my box 'o diabeetus, but they too (along with the Starburst jellybeans) will be dealt with soon enough... after I have my physical next week. For real, I'm not trying to get bitched at.

And honestly, I laughed when I saw the cake mix because I had just used a near-identical box last night in (finally) baking my own giftee's goodies. I'll probably use it as an excellent base for my cream cheese brownie recipe... and keep them all to myself.

Thanks!
