But, these little kisses of magically yummy cuteness have definitely earned a place in my heart–er, stomach? Whatever.
And, I honestly think it’s in their delicate cake.
Gasp!
I know…but it’s so delicate and fluffy.
Because of the egg.
Yeah, it’s a lot of egg.
Three egg whites and a whole egg–a looooootta egg.
But it’s totally worth it.
Because, again: FREAKING MOIST.

Just waiting to be bitten into and devoured in two teeny-tiny little bites.
