Sadly You Won't Have Time to Make Them Perfectly Stale Like the Store-Bought Ones


Because I know how much you like to make a mess in the kitchen around the time of major religious holidays: How to make your own marshmallow chicks (you know them under their trademarked name: "Peeps"). You know, any recipe that requires me to butter my hands has me at "hello."

I hate to say it, but because I'm not particularly religious, and I've been busy with work, Easter has really snuck up on me this year. I plan to correct this (in the commercial sense, at least) by buying the largest chocolate bunny I can find, and then guiltily consuming it all in the stuffy loneliness of my home office while the rest of the family is away. Because nothing says "emotionally healthy" like stealth chocolate bunny eating.

    A lot of recipes- especially those requiring chocolate- require the buttering of one's hands.

    This isn't a French thing, either... I see it in American cookbooks all the time.
