It has been one of the differences of living here in Chile that has been hard for me to adjust to. I think of myself as having this holiday maniac alter ego. Christmas is my favorite holiday. We have a family joke that no one can watch Christmas movies before Thanksgiving because I won’t allow it. This is not exactly true, I just like to save all my favorites so that I enjoy them as much as possible when I do watch them. Like saving dessert for last.
I have loved holidays since I was little. I love how the different seasons are related to each holiday. I love how the feeling in the air can bring back forgotten holiday memories and how the smells make you feel warm or excited. The season can inspire you to trim a tree, watch a scary movie, or have an Easter egg hunt. It makes a big difference.
In the interest of making the best of my situation I have decided to swallow my distaste of my current climate reality and ignore it. Just because it is fall doesn’t mean I can’t pretend that it is spring. Besides, it doesn’t have to be spring to make all of my families favorite Easter treats that we are missing this year.
Out of the few candies that Chile imports from The States, Reese’s is one that we have never seen. Whether they are unfamiliar with it or just generally don’t like it, clearly this culture is seriously lacking in the peanut butter department. Luckilly you can at least find it if you look.
The boys in my family love Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. They like to eat them cold. Actually they like to eat everything cold (is that just a guy thing?). I couldn’t imagine them not having some for Easter so, of course, I made some. They are super easy and don’t require cooking anything.
