with teeth

one of the few perks of living in central suburbia (read:ottawa) these days, is my close proximity to one of canada's best known secrets: BULK BARN. an unassuming emporium containing every known candy, salty treat and chocolate combo all glowing out of shiny plexiglass cases filled to the brim ready for the scooping. one of my longtime obsessions at the BB are cinnamon hotlips: over sized, sweet and spicy candy chews in the mould of sensual botox injected puckers that i literally shovel into my mouth like tic-tacs.

but last week, during one of my usual trips, something happened. my seemingly undying dedication to hot lips was suddenly usurped when i laid my eyes on THESE:



milk chocolate bites covered in the most heart-stoppingly beautiful foil that was ever to be conceived. i'm not going to lie...i'm a little bit in love. i'm sure they were manufactured with the twi-hards/ vamp diarists / true blooders'/ halloweeners in mind, but i feel like they were made especially for me. so i bought some. alot actually. to have and to hold but certainly not to eat ( the chocolate itself tastes as about delicious as real blood=nasty..but points for the fangs being coated in white chocolate!)

so as i sit here typing this, surrounded by my legions of vampy-fangs, i feel the sudden urge to share my new found love with my dear friends...so if you want a pair or more, send me your addy and i will faithfully mail you a pair of my errr--teeth.
