One of my readers wrote in a few weeks ago to tell me Keebler made a new Sweet Spots-esque shortbread cookie. I bought a pack today to give you the lowdown on these Fudge Drops. First off, they don't have the cute flower designs Sweet Spots used to, nor is the cookie quite as buttery delicious. Also, there's not nearly as much chocolate as a Sweet Spot, which bore an entire Hershey Kiss on top. In a pinch, you could use these and a bag of Hershey Kisses as a substitute.

Speaking of Hershey Kisses, I sampled one of their new cherry Hershey Kisses the other day. Quite amazing. I'm still waiting to get some of the Chocolate Truffles, because I am all about the truffle.

On an unrelated topic, my car died tonight. I was driving home from work and realized my car had stopped accelerating... at all. I managed to just coast my way into the parking lot at Wal-Mart. My car isn't deathly old (a 1995 eight-eight royale) but it's paid off, so I wasn't really expecting to have it come summer. I just forked out a buttload of money for other repairs, and it looks like I might have to bite the bullet and get a new car. I wonder if I can haggle the dealership into getting a free paint job.... I always wanted a pink car. Like an Avon lady. I bet you're less likely to have someone steal your car when it's painted carnation pink.
