Holy crap these things are so freakin’ great! I am convinced they are laced with Heroin and thus highly addictive. 😉 ---

I’ve heard all about how wonderful they are. That’s why I’m avoiding them! ---

Well I avoid the candy aisle, but they jumped from a cute lil display at the check out…straight into my cart. I will not let them into my home again. ---

You think those are great? Just try the ones with caramel. I dare you. You’ll find yourself picking up the giant $5 bag every time you go to the store if you do. ---

Stay away from the Reeces Cups with caramel too. Else your sweet tooth be inflamed. ---

Well, thanks for the help with my diet. I have managed to avoid the dark chocolate kisses. Now there are ones with peanut butter. I’m doomed. Fortunately I’m covered with paint right now or I would already be in the car. ---

They were trying to lure people into buying these evil Kisses at the grocery by giving them away before Christmas. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… GT ---

I’ve bought them and the caramel ones for quite a while now. But I had the good sense not to tell others and get them hooked too. I’m no pusher. 😉 ---

I remained strong until the half price sale after Christmas. Damned store, anyway. ---

Let’s rank 'em [starting with the best]: Lindt peanut butter truffles Reece’s Pieces Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups Hershey’s Peanut M&Ms … [near-infinity number of slots] Circus Peanuts (no chocolate content, probably no peanut content, and only marginally edible) I haven’t tried the P.B. Kisses, so that’s still a wild card. They’d certainly rank higher than Circus Peanuts, though. 🙂 ---

My mom makes peanut butter cookies with a kiss pushed down on top while the cookie is still hot, the kiss gets all melty and delicious. Those made with peanut butter kisses are… well… even better. ---

> [@lonesome loser](#): > > Stay away from the Reeces Cups with caramel too. Else your sweet tooth be inflamed. Reese’s Cups with caramel? Holy shit, I think I just ejaculated at the thought. How come I’ve never seen these in the store? HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME! ---

> [@Mint Julep](#): > > Holy crap these things are so freakin’ great! > > I am convinced they are laced with Heroin and thus highly addictive. 😉 Indeed. I had 'em before Christmas and I think they are great. I am weaning myself off sweets, so I haven’t had any this year, but man, they are great! ---

I’m hoping they never create a peanut butter flavor malted milk ball. It’ll be all over for me. Mmmmm. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-not-try-hershey-kisses-with-peanut-butter/340585.md?page=2)
