Profiteroles?

Geoff:
Oh, they're delicious and very more-ish. If you've not had one, you
haven't lived.

Dictionary definition:
"a small ball of choux pastry, filled with cream and covered with
chocolate sauce". They're usually about one and a half inches diameter
and my description would be rather like a mini chocolate eclair.....

My chocoholic self is stirring the thought. Mmmm.

Carol responds:

Ah! Cream puffs. I haven't had one, or even a real eclair, for a long
time, the closest being a Bavarian-cream-filled, chocolate-frosted
Dunkin' Donut.

But "vanity cake"? "Choux pastry"? I've never heard either term
before. (Quite obviously, I haven't lived all these years. Like Harry
and Voldemort, I've only been surviving. ;-) )

Carol, who's not a chocoholic but nevertheless had a craving for Milky
Ways the other day and bought a whole bag of the miniature ones, which
is now almost gone
