Does this picture of Taylor remind you of the scene from the movie E.T the Extra Terrestrial where E.T. is hiding in the closet full of stuffed animals? She has so many stuffed animals – I just couldn’t help photographing her with a few of “friends”. It took a lot of coaxing to get her to stay still and not be tempted to play with her toys during our photo session! As you can see she’s a natural in front of the camera. This is obviously not her first photo session.
When I think of E.T. I immediately think of “E.T. phone home” and Reese’s Pieces. It’s actually one of my favorite candies and in my opinion it was one of the most successful uses of product placement. The movie was released in 1982 and nearly 30 years later I still remember the little yellow, orange and brown candy coated pieces of peanut butter that lured E.T. into Elliot’s home! To think that M&Ms was approached first for the movie opportunity, but declined. Score for the Hershey’s company! So here’s our nod to E.T. and Taylor Thursday, a Nutella & Reese’s Pieces Cookie. The cookies are soft and chewy. They’re not too sweet and the bits of candy coated peanut butter adds a nice crunch and creaminess to the cookies. They’re great plain or with a smear of Nutella. These cookies also make a great base for an ice cream sandwich. Spread Nutella on the bottom of each cookie and place a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream in between the cookies for a quick and easy summer treat. It’s so good!
