Reese's Chocolate Lava Big Cup

 


Product circa: autumn 2024

This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom.

Seemingly just a Big Cup with a layer of chocolate sauce/syrup thrown in.  It sounds dumb, but my stupid monkey brain really likes the decadence of it.  I'm not sure it actually tastes especially unique, except for perhaps that this slightly shifts the sweet/salty balance in the normal product a bit toward the former... but the texture and thought of chocolate sauce in my candy makes my mind's pleasure centers go brrrrrrr.

Kit-Kat Ghost Toast

 


Product circa: Halloween 2024

Nice use of an arbitrary rhyme to make this arbitrary snack themed for Halloween.

The white chocolate coating has been colored an alarmingly bright shade of orange.  This tastes like if the Cinnamon Crunch Toast cereal were made into a candy bar - and it's absolutely delicious.  A great combination, perfectly balanced with sweetness and texture.  A home run!

Cheetos Flamin' Hot Cajun Cheddar

 


This is a presumptive Ephemeral Nom.

Product circa: 2024

Like Cajun seasoning, this seasoning is tough to pinpoint:  along with the cheese powder, there is clearly black pepper, chile pepper, tomato powder, and maybe thyme?  More herbs, probably.  The heat doesn't disappoint.  This is good stuff.  I doubt I'd buy it regularly if it were available always.
