And yes, it's totally Batman/Christian Bale approved [yes, I think that Batman and Christian Bale are kinda the same entity], so you know there is unlimited goodness inside. There are few things better than the combination of chocolate + peanut butter, no? And sometimes things like these should be savoured [yes, peanut butter cups are widely available, but not special Batman ones - I imagine this one was a bit past its prime, what with the film coming out in July and all]. What better way to savour this treat than by dining on it prim and proper. Surely, Batman peanut butter cups deserve the same respect as one gives to even the most mediocre of cheesecake or etc. so tonight I did just that I ate a candy bar with a knife and fork.
I didn't have Joseph take the picture of me actually doing this because to be perfectly honest I felt like a bit of a jackass. Okay, a lot of a jackass. And yet - I will say that most of the time I am more fulfilled by a meagre candy bar as opposed to overblown restaurant desserts. The chocolate in the North American variety might not be as fantastic as in its European counterparts...but there is still something about a candy bar when one has a craving. The bat-shaped peanut butter cup was a bit different than regular ones - thicker and more dense. Truthfully, it would have been difficult to eat the traditional hand to mouth way. I really think that I will do this again, given the opportunity [ie. not just eating a candy bar on the subway]. I tend to eat my food [all food] too fast and this really helped me to slow things down. You can mock me and my pretentious ass if you would like.

Haha, that's great! When my hubby and I went to the football game last weekend, we got lunch while we were there. It was somewhat messy and all I could think was to hurry up and eat it before the crowd camera focused in on me with food all over myself, like George eating the ice cream sundae at the tennis match, where they were out of napkins, lol.
Wow! That looks great...I'm hungry now.
How fun! I've added this one to my list.
I thought of that Seinfeld moment when I was @ my last baseball game eating a giant pickle - rather unladylike - and I couldn't see the Jumbotron from our seats - all I could think is that I could be making a fool of myself and not even know it.
Though it has happened to me once - I was stuffing my face with cotton candy [really getting into it] and bam - my face pops up on the big screen.
I actually did this today. (and linked to your post)
I feel MUCH better after my chocolate fix!
Hooray - the first time that I've knowingly inspired a new thing o' the day! It's clearly the only way to eat candy bars!
