Reese's Peanut Butter Cup with Pretzels

[cineater]

I was given, for my "research", ZERO sugar Reese's Peanut Butter cups.    I'm horrified.  I haven't tried them yet.  I don't think I want too.     Add, never tell people you put on 6 pounds eating sugar.  Stop helping me!

Nope not going there!

Zero Sugar is okay.  Whatever they used to make the sugar taste, out flavors the peanut butter.  I'd need a whole bag of those to really get a taste for it.

Not touching that fake sugar crap. worse for you then the real stuff.

I was thinking that too.  I need to look at the bag to see what's in there.

They are giving away $25,000.  I can eat a few more peanut butter cups so I can get an entry code.  I think it's for a college scholarship.  I hope if I win I can put that in my grandson's name.  Probably should of read the rules.  Okay fine, it was just an excuse to buy a peanut butter cup at the registry but I did follow through and enter the contest.

The new bakery in town is killing me! lol

I'm walking through the store today, see a big patch of Reese's orange, must be the Reese's peanut butter cup display.  Or that's where my mind went.  Nope, black woman in orange jogging suit.

Hershey has jumped in on the taste test opinion.  They want to know if you like it creamy or crunchy.  Creamy is creaming crunchy.

If you're voting for crunchy just ignore me.

The Halloween shapes are out.  I'm so excited! 

We have white chocolate, Ghosts.  Peanut butter enrobed in white cream.  Pretty good, coming in at 180 calories.    Lets not forget the weight gain the last time I did this taste testing.     I'm a junkie.

We have the chocolates ones in bats and pumpkins.  And fuck me, I grabbed a package of assorted ones out of the bin but didn't look at it.  It's just regular peanut butter cups.  I did have two individual packages of the different shapes and put it back for the mixed bag, managing the weight gain.  So much for controlling the number of peanut butter cups I have on hand, I have an extra package.  I'll be back at the store before they sell out.  It's still early.

Hasn't even been a day and there's only 2 chocolate peanut butter cups left and a half a bag of the white chocolate.  Guess we know which way I'm going to weigh in.   

A coke, a bag of beef jerky and a bag of peanut butter cups.  Life is good.

Add 8 more peanut butter cups to the group.  I went to Aldi and it's price efficent to by the 8 pack instead of just the two pack.  Yeah I know there's something wrong with that thinking when you're looking at calories, empty calories to boot.  But it's all over now, ate my last one.  It's peanut butter cup withdrawal.    

No reason to go to Walmart and peanut butter cups are not enough of a draw to get me up to that madhouse.  I will get to taste the other ones before they disappear.  I have a scheduled trip to Target on the 4th.  Might not have any but I will score again. 

Junkie thinking.

So not fair.  I have to run in the grocery store to get my flu shot at the pharmacy.  Have to go right down the isle with all the Halloween candy and there are the peanut butter Halloween shapes.  No, I'm out and about all day.  They will melt in the car or I have to eat the whole bag.  And I have to pass back through that isle leaving.     I did not cave but I wanted too.

Let's get back to this.  Grabbed a bag of the assorted shapes.  Can't rule out maybe they melted some but, the shape of the pumpkin, bat and ghost isn't very well defined, more like a blob.  The chocolate is thinner than a regular peanut butter cup.  It melts with the heat of your fingers.  The chocolate to peanut butter ratio is off, more peanut butter than chocolate.  Coming in at 170 calories.  I'll need to get another bag to recheck the shapes.  The white chocolate shape was good.  Don't get me wrong, they are still good.

I have not seen these, yet.

So I was talking with Benny at pinball last night.  We both have opinions about the holiday peanut butter cups.  Told him the different designs I found online.  He's going hunting for them and will bring them next week for us to try.
