Cadbury Mini Eggs. These little chocolate bombs have made their way into my home and are reeking havoc on my waistline. Not only are they absolutely delicious, they are downright addicting. Pop one into your mouth, melt through the crisp sugar shell and you hit the creamy milk chocolate center.
Sweet bliss.
Before you know it, the little egg is gone and you are reaching for another.
Despite loving candy and everything sweet, I'm a very healthy person. Thankfully my husband is too. Last weekend while checking out at the grocery store I had an older gentlemen actually comment on the items in my cart. "You have to be the healthiest eater I've ever seen! What do you do for grains?" He obviously noticed I had no bread, no processed food and nothing loaded with sugar. We live off of lean meat, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and high fiber whole grains in the Patterson house.
But the season has brought an impostor in our home and I feel like I'm losing the battle. I've never had these Cadbury Mini Eggs in my house until the arrival of my husband. Granted, I was the one who bought them for him to remind him of how much I love him and that I keep his "wants" in mind while grocery shopping. (Note to self: chocolate does not equal love!) Nonetheless, we've gone through 3 bags and it's not even Easter yet! I guess I shouldn't feel so bad though. Apparently, the love for the Mini Eggs runs in the family. My father-in-law is working on his 8th bag. Way to break the cycle Curtis.
Despite the addictive nature of these little treats, I highly recommend them. They are great for a chocolate-fix (if you can control yourself), look beautiful in a apothecary jar displayed around the house (so festive!) or can be the perfect addition to any Easter basket.
May the force be with you if you dare to try them.
Happy Friday!
Be Sweet.
