Ode to the M&M
If my hands get on a bag of one of the best chocolate creations, known as plain M&M’s, there is no stopping me. All over my mother and stepfather’s house there are a variety of the adorable M&M candy men riding in a car, in a fire truck, and sitting on a sofa chair. If I know that they are filled with the delectable chocolates, I go over to them and pull the handle or the foot and have me a handful.
I put M&M’s in everything from every flavor of ice cream to popcorn. This “mania” started when I presented a book report for my fifth grade English class. I cannot remember the book, but I had to come up with the food that looked like what the girl ate in the book. I mixed M&M’s and Quaker Oat Squares cereal. I still remember my mother squinting her eyes as if she just swallowed something sour, when I put my hand in the cereal box and put this concoction in my mouth. It was delicious!
The ultimate guilty pleasure is having a bowl of fudge ice cream with M&M’s mixed in. When I came upon the new M&M ice cream bars by Mars, my mouth watered in the ice cream aisle. I could not wait to go home and tear the wrapper off. It was as if they have been listening to my taste buds dreams. I got cozy on my couch and tore off the wrapper to find a red M&M that was less than the size of my palm. I bit into it and the chocolate was much richer than the little chocolates. Although this was a new tasty treat, it left me needing a drink of water and discontented. Maybe it is because of my trusty little M&M’s of the past, or I am old fashioned. I do recommend this new ice cream bar to the M&M lovers though, because every M&M, big or small, deserves a chance.
