How do you eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup?
I am of the belief that Reese's Cups are confectionary perfection, God's gift to sweet tooth’s and greedy dentists, the best candy known to man. Which is ironic because I don't much like peanut butter in its natural form, but the way the extra-sweet and creamy variety in the Reese's recipe commingles with the milky chocolate is just heaven on this bud's buds.
Despite the fact that people shouldn't mess with perfection (new Coke, anyone?) and that these "Limited Edition" things are nonsense (Wendy's spicy Chicken was limited, now it's permanent; the orange mountain Dew is gone and I miss it muchly), I felt an obligation to try these new-fangled things before they went away.
The Honey Roasted variety didn't seem that different from the regular Reese’s cups. Maybe a tinge of odd sweetness that was a little different, but I couldn't swear to even that if I had a blindfold on.
The inside out variety was confounding. See, as much as I love Reese’s, I love the peanut butter best. I always eat them by nibbling away the thicker chocolate ridge-ring and then chomping down the peanut butter patty which tasted amazing with the thin layer of chocolate on either side of it. So less chocolate made the perfect radio. I figured that the reversible one would have that ratio built in.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
The cup tasted like peanut butter - exclusively. I could not taste the chocolate. Even after I nibbled away the peanut butter as best I could and tried to eat the chocolate only (the exact same way I eat the normal cups), I still couldn't taste the chocolate. It was all peanut buttery sweetness. And this was actually not as wonderful as I might have thought. It stuck to the roof of my mouth and made me want to drink milk, and my milk is bad, so I couldn't.
(Yes, I was like the guy in that commercial. Aaron fucking Burr.)
Overall, it was frustrating food-stuffs, and it made me miss the old school cups all the more. It even made me miss those generic knock-offs of Reese's, which is sacrilege, but then again, so it a mouth full of peanut butter and no chocolate to help it along. It's two great tastes, remember?
While I am glad that I partook in these limited edition candy treats, for my own edification,. I am pleased to announce that the perfection of Reese's cups as the Holy grail of candy has not only been confirmed, it has been strengthened. All is right with the world once again...
