Here’s my take on his take:
Candy: Starburst jelly beans
Dope: I love old-fashioned jelly eggs, but I have to admit a fondness for the newer name-brand ones with explosive fruitiness. Jolly Ranchers are also good.
How much I can eat at one sitting: One big handful
Candy: Butterfinger chocolate eggs, foil wrapped, about as big as an acorn
Dope: Second only to Reese’s mini-cups.
How much I can eat at one sitting: 2
Candy: Reese’s mini-eggs (Taste like Reese’s Pieces)
Dope: These are great to roll around in your mouth like hard candy and just wait for them to melt.
How much I can eat at one sitting: I don’t dare find out.
Candy: fruity Tootsie Rolls
Rating:: These are surprisingly tasty. Super tart and great flavors. Strawberry actually tastes like strawberry, for instance.
How much I can eat at one sitting: 2
Candy: Nerds
Dope: These are OK. J.R. can keep them.
How much I can eat at one sitting: One snack-sized box. I guess.
Candy: Whopper eggs
Dope: These taste good, but they’re so hard I feel like I’m going to break a tooth.
How much I can eat at one sitting: 2 or 3
Candy: Runts (Taste like Sweet-Tarts with a hard candy shell about the size of small jelly beans)
Dope: You can’t beat Sweet-Tarts. So you can’t beat these for nonchocolate fare.
How much I can eat at one sitting: 3
Candy: Mini Reese’s cups
Dope: These are what I’ll eat on my deathbed.
How much I can eat at one sitting: I can stop at 4 if they’re not in my line of sight.




OK. This isn’t related to your Easter post at all, but I am verrrrrry excited to make your risotto recipe in the paper today. I bought risotto rice about a year ago by mistake and it’s been sitting in my cupboard ever since. Going to the store later today to get all the other ingredients I need. Yummmmmmmmmmmy.
This isn’t related to Easter at all either. I hope the risotto works out for you. When I made it, it was incredible. I’m trying to figure out how to justify making it again.
