"Fools Rush In"

Elvis' middle name was aaron,he was an identical twin, his father was a bootlegger, my grand mom tells me he was Hungarian , and he made 33 movies.
Apparently
in his life he also made a large number of fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches which have inspired this new riff on the Reese's Cup.

On occasion the Reese's people get wicked weird.
They do things like use white chocolate, add caramel into the mix or cut out their precious cups to look like Easter eggs, bunnies and Christmas trees.
Then there was that whole Oreo bottomed cup mess.
But I get it.
Sometimes you've got to break out the leather and spice it up.
Hershey's has released this latest hybrid for a limited time to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death on August 16th 1977.

I have a hard on for peanut butter in general and bananas are a daily staple in my diet.
While I don't often eat Reese's cups , they have been known to fall into my mouth like manna from heaven.
They are reserved for special occasions.
Like when one of your girls is visiting from San Fransisco and it's 3am and you're riding through empty back lit streets feeling like your heart could burst at any moment from love.
Sacred, if eaten everyday they would quickly become profane.
I have been practicing the same ritual for devouring them in secret since I was ten.

I was apprehensive.
The seemingly morally unconscionable combination of banana and Reese's is sacrilegious. It sounds like the kind of thing you'd sneak on the playground on a dare or something you'd slide over your lips to gross out your sister while trying not to gag.
perilous.wrong...exciting.

i didn't even hold my nose.

So what was it like?
The banana is no diva.
In fact it proves to be a team player.
You can still enjoy the Reese's-ness of it all.
Though nothing like a banana and peanut butter sandwich,the taste instantly brought back memories of banana Runts.


I say forge some new territory.
Bust out your telescope,put on your tri cornered hat and get your explorer on.
And just think, with every purchase you get a chance to win an Elvis car!

I can't even imagine what that would look like, but I want it.
