    There was a certain type of malt ball I would buy for mom. You know how it is, if you’re someone with a good relationship with your parents. The maltballs disappeared from stores for several months and then suddenly reappeared. I bring her these maltballs again and she’s thrilled. She guiltily texts me later to say she threw them away because they wouldn’t melt in her mouth.

    Weird. Chocolate that doesn’t melt at 98.6?

    I bought them again to try them. I don’t know what it is, but it’s not chocolate. And it doesn’t melt in the mouth, she’s right. Sugar wax, devoid of flavor. I too trashed the malt balls.
