My Pure Beauty

Mar 8th, 2008 by Marie

My son has been calling everything his “Pure Beauty”. I don’t know why or where he got it from, but it makes me laugh every time he says it. Like this sandwich is his “pure beauty” or this shirt is his “pure beauty” followed by giggles.

Well, this is my PURE BEAUTY! Cadbury Creme Eggs!! Cadbury is the King of candy if you ask me. Right when I see those pure beauties show up sometime in late January, I buy a handful. Even as I write this, I am currently downing a whole bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs. They call to me. Even my unborn baby is addicted, I know because she is asking for them all the time.

I think Easter candy is my favorite kind of candy. I just went through an entire bag of Reese’s Mini Egg Peanut Butter Cups last week. I was buying them early to get ready for the Easter baskets, but who was I kidding, they were gone by the next day!! And who can resist the Mini Malted Robin Eggs that are fun for painting your lips?

What is your Pure Beauty? And how does Easter candy compare on your Holiday treat list?

I know, Easter candy is so tempting. Have you tried the Hershey’s mini eggs? I could probably eat a whole bag if I let myself. I’m glad to hear baby Anna loves her candy!

i’m with you on the robin eggs (and painting my lips… it’s just not Easter without white, pink, and blue lips). :)

Mmmm — I’ve been avoiding the Reese’s eggs — they are my absolute fave! I’ve already consumed a bag of mini cadbury eggs!

I just love the malted milk eggs. I purposefully steer clear of plain old Whoppers all year long just so these can taste more festive and special.

My husband loves the cadbury eggs. I can only handle one!

I also love those little marshmallow bunnies with chocolate coating. I used to eat them fast like the little kid in the Willy Wonka movie, pretending they were “Wonka’s Scrumdilliumtious Bars.”

As bland as they are, I also still love Peeps. There’s a crime in eating any of the others except for the original yellow chicks.

And my parents used to put a “healthier” treat in my basket along all of the candy: shelled, salted sunflower seeds. It’s a tradition I continue today. :0)

I LOVE the Resses Peanut Butter eggs. I buy 1 every time I go to the store. I cannot have them in the house or I can’t STOP! Thank goodness they are only around for a couple of months! Otherwise I’d be bigger than a cow!

Oh Cadbury mini eggs…is there a place where I can marry them? No, because then there would be Baby Cadbury Mini Eggs…and they’d be too small to eat. I LOVE these things!

Mini Eggs are so good. Avery and I are both addicted right now. Have you had Butterfinger Eggs? Oh they are the BEST! Only at Easter and I can’t get enough.

When I was a kid, I was so disappointed with with Easter. We would wake up, rush to find our baskets only to find hand-dipped chocolate covered easter eggs - some full of caramel, some with fudge, some with cherry nut filling.

Everything about our Easter was from friends with candy making talent or specialty chocolate stores.

The disappointment came when I would compare my basket with my friend across the street. His basket was full of traditional candy bars like Snickers and Milky Way. And the kicker was this - he always got a six pack of those little wax bottles filled with colored sugar water.

I really felt like I was getting stiffed for Easter… until I was about 15 and finally figured out the gift that I was getting.

2. reese’s peanut butter cups, shaped like eggs - they taste better than the normal ones, i swear!
3. robin eggs. (i like to use them as lipstick!)

pure beauty–

i’m definitely going to slip that into my lingo, it’s worth creating a statement that it will sound natural in and much better than jazzy or seriously:)

Lovely comments about Pure Beauties, everyone!! It seems that Easter is a holiday filled with yummies.

I LOVE the Resses Peanut Butter Eggs! Those are my favorites. Something about the sweet and the salt together.
I like the Pure Beauty phrase, there is a certain ring to it. :-)
