Crap. Crap. Crap.
I still have to write a blog about Halloween as promised. After all, I crossed my heart and hoped to die and I certainly don't hope to die. But come on! I just got home. I'm four beers in. I just want to sit on the couch, watch meaningless television and play candy crush! Is that so much to ask?
As (regrettably) promised I would do a real Halloween post for the Stunt Zombie blog. Since I'm just the littlest bit buzzed I thought the best idea would be to find a Halloween snacky food to go with my beverage of choice, Redd's Apple Ale.
Kraft Jet-Puffed GhostMallows (It's really hard not to type Jet-Stay-Puffed!)The flavor of these marshmallows is supposed to be Vanilla but aren't all regular marshmallows vanilla flavored?
Now, since most of you (make that all of you) don't know who I am you probably have no idea that I am completely obsessed with another marshmallowy treat, Peeps. Who doesn't love Peeps? They're sugary, chewy and full of Peepy goodness (and yes, I do realize that I turn a lot of nouns in to adverbs!). Anyway, the reason I bring up Peeps is because one of my favorite Peep activities (yes, there are more than one) is Peep jousting. For hours upon hours of fun you pit your Peeps against each other in head to head combat. Simply place the marshmallows on a plate, shove toothpicks into them, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and crown a victor. The Peep who doesn't get skewered is victorious. I simply applied this basic concept to the ghostly marshmallows:
It didn't work out as I had planned. With no clear victor I decided to crown myself the winner, mashed my melty marshmallows together and stirred them into my mocha! While I do love a good marshmallow I didn't find anything particularly special about these sugary snacks. Sure they're cute and slightly colorful. Yes they're ridiculously addicting and I ate half a bag in one sitting (don't judge me, I'm drunk). And would I get them again if spotted in the snack food aisle of the grocery store? Of course. But did they stand out from all of the other marshmallows on the shelf? No, not really. So, while I did enjoy snacking on them individually I think I'll stick to drowning them in my coffee.
