Recession Candy

Times are desperate, my friends. The other night, I scoured the house looking for something remotely chocolate. I ended up with the old college standby-- peanut butter and chocolate chips. Sadly, it wasn't as satisfying as I remembered. To remedy this, I went out the next day and bought a bag of Hershey Kisses with Almonds and a bag of Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Mint Milanos. The Kisses were really fresh and yummy. The cookies seem to be a knock-off of Girl Scout Thin Mints, only they weren't as good. Anyhow, this is all to say that the candy meter has been running pretty low around the House of Yum. I think once Thanksgiving is over things will pick up and I'll have more to report.
