    Do you eat it frozen? My husband freezes the krimpets and eats them frozen. I am partial to the KandyKakes.

    The Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes, more specifically (which I grew up knowing as Tandy Kakes).

    Oh my goodness, there is a Butterscotch Krimpet Tiramisu recipe on their website. I think I need to try that.

    Holy cow, when I found the butterscotch krimpet in a store here in NC, I almost cried. Love the krimpet. And most of the rest of their offerings.

    The proper way to eat Butterscotch Krimpets, frozen or otherwise, is after you have rubbed them on your belly to ensure there is no static attaching the frosting to the plastic. No, seriously!

    I'm partial to Kandy Kakes, frozen, either peanut butter or chocolate. I too called them Tandy Kakes, while growing up.

    Chocolate Junior. Chocolate Kandy Kakes. Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes. Eclaire Pie. In that order.

    I think fondly onto my one (and only) experience with Tasty Cakes, in that you had put some into the welcome bags at the hotel ahead of your wedding. It is such a specific cultural touchstone that I felt somehow that I wasn't honoring them. I had no spirit guide on a Peyote trip. I had no tamae - 手前 - to properly sequence the tea ceremony. It was that awkward moment when I see non-Catholic Christians judge themselves against the standards of communion. And I fear I dishonored it and them and you.

    But I was hungry.
