This gives me the same vibes as a monster energy xiao long bao (savory, of course) i made for a party a few weeks ago. Was also unreasonably good.

so I threw a "bertie botts every flavor dumplings" party where i made everyone bring a set of two dumplings that were visually identical but one of them was a gotcha/alternate flavor. I made regular XLB but also a monster energy one (aspic'd a citrus one with lots of corn starch + some ginger+garlic). They were ...pretty good?

we had many great contenders show up though, lots of fun

Honestly the biggest indictment is this line:

> pretty much one of the unhealthiest things I’ve tried in a long time - Signed by the man who made a cheese and bacon bap only the baps were made of peeps (a week ago).

My dad has been making this "bitter orange" pie lately to great reviews, and I thought it would taste something like that.

Also, yeah, Stevia is the worst and can fuck off into the sun.

Sunny D hard seltzer, C4 Starburst energy drink, and Peeps-flavored Pepsi are 3 of the 4 beverages of the apocalypse.

This reminds me of the Momofuku Crack Pie. Perhaps we can call this Hootch Pie?

I'm too lazy to look at the recipe. Did it call for refrigeration? It seems like this could easily sit on the countertop with the greasy sheen of butter.
