I love peanut butter. I love chocolate. Put them together and HOLY COW, I’m in food heaven! I don’t think my kids have ever even experienced the joy of a Reese’s Cup… because I steal them out of their Halloween candy. Ahem.
Anyway… Reese's have always been my gold standard of peanut butter and chocolate. I’ve tried more gourmet versions, but they never seem to capture the perfect taste and texture of the simple Reese's Cup. There's either too much chocolate, so you can't taste the peanut butter, or the peanut butter isn't the right texture or they've tried to be too gourmet and lost the purity of the idea.
But when I was in the grocery store the day after Valentines’ Day and all the Valentines’ candy happened to be 75% off, who am I to not venture out and try new things? (I mean, can you really go wrong with 75% off chocolate?) So I picked up these:
Oh, my goodness. Ohmygoodness. Oh. My. GOODNESS!
These are just about the best thing I've ever eaten. The flavors are amazing and the texture... perfection! With creamy milk chocolate and crunchy gourmet peanut butter, the whole thing just melts in your mouth. I dare you to eat one without sighing in contentment. These are officially my new favorite candy. While I still harbor a deep abiding love for dark chocolate - especially with nuts! - these little milk chocolate with peanut butter squares have captured my heart!
I love them so much that I want to share them with you! Leave me a comment on this post before Friday, March 20 and I will randomly pick a winner who will get a bag of these little beauties! (I promise I won't open it and eat any before I send it to you!) You don't even need to have a blog, just an email address.
Good luck!!
