What are you snacking on?

Reese's pumpkins! Though, they're more blobby. Still taste the same!

I've noticed that for years and find it disappointing. The package shows a nice looking pumpkin-shaped Reese's peanut butter "cup," but inside is just a blob. I want the product to look close to the packaging as that's part of the experience.

Russell Stover does okay with its Halloween products, but then fails at Christmas as its chocolate-covered-marshmallow Santas are blob like.

As a side note, this year's Russell Stover's orange-marshmallow pumpkins should be out soon and, fingers crossed, hopefully, they had a good crop.

It's time for the annual Russell Stover's Orange Marshmallow Pumpkin report.

Regular FL readers know this is my favorite Halloween candy and that each year I anxiously await its arrival, which was very late this year. Since they didn't show up in the stores until very recently, I had to order direct from Russell Stover.

All that aside, I can report, fortunately, Russell Stover had a very good harvest; this year's crop of Orange Marshmallow Pumpkins have a robust orange-marshmallow flavor and are very soft and fresh.

I like raw baby carrots, celery, or strips of cabbage with sriracha sauce on them. I also put together a mix of sunflower kernels and shelled pumpkin seeds with cayenne and crushed red pepper for a spicy, salty, crunchy treat.

I don't know if it was the Germans, but whoever put chocolate and cherries together for the first time deserves a plaque somewhere.

And the Germans definitely go it right with the Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. I grew up next to an elderly immigrant German couple for whom we used to buy a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte from Germantown in NYC each Christmas (we went into the city at Christmas time, they didn't).

In addition to always sending over an incredible tray of Christmas cookies on Christmas day, they always (despite our annual pleas not to as we wanted them to enjoy the entire cake we had brought them) sent along a slice of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte as well.
And now, I can recommend Schwarzwalder Salami, too!! :)
