The holidays are about putting on as much weight as possible and blaming it all on the sugary delights that are available this time of year. I have a weakness for anything that is candy cane flavored. Last week I managed to eat a half a box of Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s in a span of about 37 seconds. Those were the happiest 37 seconds of my life, even beating out the backseat adventures with Pistols at Dawn.
You can imagine my delight when I went down to the cafeteria this afternoon and saw a homemade “Chocolate Candy Cane Cookie”. Picture this, 2 big chocolate cookies with a ton of candy cane frosting in-between.
Here’s the problem, there’s nothing in this cookie that tastes like candy canes or chocolate. Instead, it just tastes like brown butter cookies with butter frosting that has flecks of candy cane all over it.
Damn you, baker in the cafeteria. You have fooled me! You’re like all of those guys that I date that look good on the outside but then turn out to be something entirely different on the inside. I just want a candy cane flavored dude and end up having to talk about my feelings with someone that’s emotionally retarded.
FAIL!
