My Mini-Eggs

So I may or may not have brought back a very large sized bag of Cadbury mini-eggs...

Haven't cracked them open yet, I figure Good Friday tomorrow will be an appropriate time!

Despite Brazil's many many many displays of eggs large and small (mostly large), I have not found mini-eggs here, nor have I found anything I like quite as much.  It's weird, I am normally a big fan of dark chocolate and not so much milk chocolate products, but I do love those mini-eggs, there's just something about them. I find most of the chocolate here to be quite waxy, which I assume is to keep it from melting very quickly in this warm climate.

I do love the chocolates at Garcia & Rodriguez. They are amazing. According to Veja's Comer & Beber edition (restaurant reviews), the best chocolate in the city is to be found at Envidia, which is just a stone's throw away from my place.  Which may be why I haven't ventured there yet - it could be dangerous!  Maybe Mr. DRL & I will go there for "tea" soon since we can't exactly go for cocktails (though it doesn't often stop him from indulging!)

I'm really wishing I had some Starburst jelly beans right now. I bought a bag at Christmas to bring back with us, but um, somehow they never made it to Brasil.

Although Cadbury mini-eggs would fill my Easter candy void right now pretty well too.

Oh geez, let's be honest, ANY candy that I can't presently get my hands on would excite me right now. (Why do I always want what I can't get?)

You NEED to get your hands on the dark chocolate version of the mini eggs. I have been trying to restrain myself from eating the whole bag in one sitting.

Emily I did not know that starburst jellybeans existed. I now want something I've never even had.

Melanie there is only one way I can think of for that to happen and it involves you bringing me some in July when you come to visit. haha.

You think they will last sitting in my cupboard until July?

Is this a matter of expiry date or willpower that we are talking about here?

Cadbury mini eggs are possibly the most wonderful candy! I wait ALL year for them to come out...and eat WAYYYY to many of them when they do! I saw a HUGE bag in sam's club...and thought about it for only a second before I disgusted myself. But I am thinking of buying it and packing it on the plane to keep haha!

I just ate the last ones... but I am impressed that they lasted almost a whole week!
