My father appears before me - hands behind his back - with that adventurous smirk, " I have a surprise for you! Close your eyes and open your mouth."
"What?! Wait, why?"
"Because i said so. Don't ask me why." Rolling my eyes I reluctantly obey with a sigh, and a small candy is introduced to my tongue.
Toss it. A hard and sugary shell dissolves into a thin barrier of caocao cream. Lasting but for an instant, my mind is filled with thoughts of an Mn’M. But this sugar coating is too hard, and chocolate lacking in quantity. So what is this?
Mush it. It soon reveals its core of packed peanut-mash. This fills in for the chocolate it lacks. Becoming smoother with time I worry it will vanish. This euphoria of taste is far too short lived. What was that?
“May I have another?” Eyes open I notice the candy is orange.
Bite it. Salty collides with fragments of sugar. Such a contrast met in perfect harmony. The peanut and chocolate diminish swiftly and I am left to picking shell shards from my molars. I know what this is.
Something of Reece’s peanut-butter cup discovered a time ago. But these alterations have taken it from the ever-meting treat I knew it to be. This is a new breed. Compact and portable, this is only but a bite of its fore father. It’s just a piece. A piece of a Reese’s.
These are Reese’s Pieces.
