I wanna Twin Bing. Along with Goodies (maple-y nutty mounds) and Rolos (chocolate covered sticky caramel), Twin Bings were something my mom always carried to give my sister and I. With the hot pink center the consistency of sort of dried out, rubbery frosting (fondant?) and the two blobs (twins) covered in milk chocolate and crumbled peanuts, it's sort of the perfect little girl food. When my aunt would visit from Louisiana, my mom would buy her a bunch of Bings and a few bottles of good old Nebraska Dorothy Lynch. The Bing was first produced in 1923, the Twin Bing (two Bings side-by-side) came along in 1979, just in time for me and little sis. There’s even a King Bing, which is three bings!!! Bings were invented in Palmer, Iowa which is probably why I can't find them here in Cloudsville. Hrm.
