Now that I think about it, there are very few candy bars that wouldn’t be improved by a switch from milk chocolate to dark chocolate. It seems to me that in many candy bars the chocolate levels are dangerously low. Switching to dark chocolate ensures more chocolatiness without compromising on peanutiness, waferiness, carmeliness, or what have you. I hope all you marketing executives that lurk on message boards to find out how your products are recieved are taking notes. ---

White chocolate is not chocolate, people. I concur. Clearly, you should see that white chocolate is an affront to nature and all known pantheons. ---

Or maybe it’s the nougat, but the conflicting textures also impede in the pb’s effectiveness. The name’s a good one, though, because the memory of eating one evaporates quite quickly. The exact same thing is a Nestle’s Sidekick up here in Canada and it is the most delicious chocolate bar in existance. ---

I’ve not had any of the newer products by Reese’s since I’m not a big fan of peanut butter (despite loving the cups and pieces) but I loved the cups with the cookie in them. Are those still made? ---

My friend gave me a mini-Mint Kit Kat. I haven’t had one since, because they’re so good I would scarf 6 in a row… 😃 ---

I’ve tried the white chocolate variety and I liked them. Of course, I usually like white chocolate anyway. The fastbreak is okay, but not the same as the original cup. You just can’t beat those. (Except for making them bigger, that is.) ---

The ReeseSticks (ReesesSticks?) are pretty dang good. They’re kinda like Nutty Buddies, but smaller, with a better quality chocolate, peanut butter and a crispier wafer. Oh, and speaking of flavors that combine well with chocolate: Around last Christmas, my mom had some Pepperidge Farm Mint Pirouettes and some raspberry chocolate dip (left over from some kinda DIY pretzel thing). Raspberry, mint, and chocolate all combined… it was like my taste buds all had a simultaneous orgasm.
