Erik, your column is consistently my favorite. I'm second what Nora and Janssen said. This post is so awesome.

The resourcefulness of using shish kabob sticks to hold a snickers sandwich together....it's remarkable.

This is FANTASTIC! I will try this immediately with the Easter candy at my house!

I do a podcast with a couple friends (going on 3 years) called Skittle Sandwich (easily found on iTunes). We currently have a contest going for who can make the most creative Skittle Sandwich video. All of this, by the way, was set up before the Parks and Rec episode. Love what you did with them. Have a great day!

Speaking of Skittles sandwich - this reminds me of something I did in elementary school (which may or may not have lasted through college. Or last week.)

My mom was always on a health food kick and we were never allowed to have candy (or Lucky Charms and Froot Loops and all of the best cereals for that matter - which, yes, I am still bitter about.)

Anyway, in elementary school we were allowed to make our own lunches. I have no idea how I got the idea for this, but I would hoard my Skittles from Halloween/Easter/Grandma who felt sorry for us not being able to eat candy and put them between two pieces of bread and peanut butter. My mom never knew what I was doing and I was able to take candy to school without her knowing.

And since my mom doesn't read your blog (though it is totally fun) I can admit this now without getting sent to the corner.

The editor's note makes this even more delightful.

Also, you lit them on fire. . . how can I not love this column?

Ahhhh! Just when I think you can't possibly outdo your last post, you blow it out of the water. Not only did you mention the best episode of the best television show currently on TV, but you gave my two favorite candies the attention they deserve. Well done, sir.
