Perfection, Thy Name Is Pearson’s
Food October 30th, 2007Have you ever seen perfection? Allow me to show you.
I stopped by my local IFA store at lunch today to pick up a bag of Fall Blend fertilizer for my rather anemic-looking lawn. As if being guided from above, I happened to glance at the candy rack where I beheld this confectionary marvel. I have long been a fan of the Pearson’s Nut Roll — in fact, I consider myself to be somewhat of a nut roll connoisseur. I have gone through life thinking that the original Pearson’s Nut Roll was the ultimate combination of sugary, salty goodness — never to be outdone by the likes of PayDay, Mr. Goodbar or any *scoff* pecan log. Little did I suspect that the company to de-throne the Nut Roll would be the same company who created it.
Pearson’s, I tip my hat to you. You have truly outdone yourselves…with a simple layer of delicious milk chocolate. My only plaint is the two taunting words emblazoned within the golden ribbon: Limited Edition. Obviously this treat is not one to be taken for granted, and with a saddened heart I understand that the Chocolate Nut Roll will not be here forever. Fortunately for me, my IFA store has a large supply on hand and according to this site:
“The average shelf for a chocolate candy bar is anywhere up to six (6) months “
Food storage anyone?

Do you think they can add green chile to it next. MMM, green chile.
I personally have never had a Pearson’s Nut Roll. I am going to have to add it to my list of “must do’s”. It looks like I can purchase them online, where is my CC.

@Tal
How about the Cilantro, Green Chile, Peanuts, Nougat, 71% Dark Chocolate and Marshmallow Creme bar….I think we may be on to something…
All joking aside…I highly recommend you try the Nut Roll. Original or chocolate covered…you won’t be displeased.

Babe- in the future, the words “Have you ever seen perfection?” must always be followed by a picture of me. Not a candy bar.
It’s just polite.

@Suz next time I’ll more narrowly categorize the object of my perfection proclamation. In this case I meant to say: confection perfection. Cute isn’t it.

Ordered. We’ll put this “confection perfection” to the test.
