It’s slightly disheartening when you slice into them and the filling just pours out....

There are a few sauces out there that I love enough to eat with a spoon. Like, I’d have sauce for dinner. I love them that much! Peanut sauce, for example. I’d like the bowl clean.

So sweet, so tangy, it was absolute heaven....
