A little while back, I helped the fabulous Jaime of Good Eats 'n Sweet Treats design a new blog layout. To say thanks, she asked me if there was anything I missed from the USA that she could send me. "Oh," I replied lightly, "how about some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? I love those things and they cost an arm and a leg here." (No, really - they're only sold in specialty candy stores and they're like $5 for one of the 2-cup packs.) I was hoping she might send me a couple of the 2-cups, or maybe even a small bag of the mini-cups if I was really lucky.
Today, I got a package in the mail. USA postmark. Sent by Jaime's husband.
It was a big package. Really big.
And when I opened it up, this is what I found:
OMG.
OMG.
OMGOMGOMG!
Jaime sent me TWENTY-FOUR PACKS OF 4-CUP REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS!
They're a wee bit squished from all the flopping around during transit, but they taste just as good as ever. This was confirmed during the very necessary quality control test (carried out before I popped them in my freezer, which will now be known as the Reese's Horde):
*mmmmm*
*drool*
*lick*
*burp*Why......no..........I didn't eat an entire 4-pack by myself. That would just be greedy. Um....a guy jumped in the window and ate three, then jumped back out the window. You all are buying that, right?
Jaime, you are the awesomest ever and I can't believe you sent me so many - thank you!!!
glad they got there ok, although slightly smooshed! I really wish I could have sent you something homemade instead, too bad the Aussies won't let me :( oh well, hope you'll enjoy these in the meantime until we can meet in person and I can share some of my sweet treats with you!
ReplyDeleteYUMMY! I love Reese's PB cups! They are so delish. What a nice surprise.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh Im sooooo envious! Im an american living in the netherlands and they don't have those here! I have tried making a "homemade" version of it but sometimes you just want to real deal. Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI saw this as I was scrolling through earlier but didn't want to overwhelm you by posting a comment on every entry I could relate to, but I've got to say I was soooo jealous when I saw that you got all those in the mail. How many are left? I'm a glutton and would've had them done in a couple weeks. And yeah, Gomez y Guerrero's tortillas are waaaaay better than those things they try and pass off as tortillas at Woolies!
ReplyDeletelilD, I am so stopping at G y G the next time we're in Sydney! As to the Reese's...I'm not sure. Half or maybe 2/3 of what I was sent?
