Sugar high

I got a little somethin' in the mail today. A little somethin' from the States:

When I opened it up, this was what I saw:

A card! For me! I love cards!

Mariko is a super sweet friend that I met in my wedding planning days. And OMG. Did you see what she wrote? Chocolate covered pretzels! Dark and white chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (you know how much I love Reese's)! Candy corn kisses! Meltaway kisses! I'm not sure about the "make sure you share with your hubby" bit, but let's move on and take a look at the goods...

White Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Can you believe that I didn't even know these existed? Seven years of living overseas has clearly taken its toll on my candy awareness.

Hershey's Kisses Snacksters! Another thing that I didn't know existed!

Dark Reese's! Candy Corn Kisses! Meltaway Kisses! 

I had to sample both of the Kisses right away - did you know that Aussies don't have Hershey's Kisses? Actually, they don't have Hershey's anything unless you go to a specialty shop. It's tragic, I know. The only comfort is that they don't know what they're missing.

And finally, the pièce de résistance: Hershey's Chocolate Covered Pretzels. These are the bad boys that started this entire thing - when Mariko saw my post about making soft pretzels from scratch, she wrote to me to say that soft pretzels were all well and good, but I hadn't really lived until I'd tried Hershey's pretzels
 - and oh baby, was she right!

Thank you so much Mariko! I'm gonna be on a sugar high for a solid week!
