A Moment of Perfection

Tweet

I have given up most junk food and candy bars to prep for my Appalachian Trail hike; since it has been delayed I decided to spoil myself a little with a Cadbury Egg. I usually have dreams about these amazing treats and will pick through the whole basket of them to find one with the perfect egg shape. As I bit into the top of it I was glad that it wasn't filled to the top of the egg; the center is gooey and sticky and not all that furniture or finger friendly. It didn't take much to get the foil off of it, there are times when the center leaks out and makes it almost impossible to get the foil off. My moment of perfection came when I needed to put the egg down but had nothing clean to put it on. Then it struck me, I needed a makeshift egg-cup. Since I had nothing even close to that within arms reach I put it on the never-used mouse track pad on my laptop. Much to my surprise, it stood up perfectly and the chocolate egg shell did its job of containing the fondant goo. What do you love about Easter candy? Do you enjoy Cadbury eggs? Are you addicted to jelly beans? Photo: Me
