Hey candy kids! It’s the Sheriff, here, ready to review a brand-spankin’ new candy…Reese’s Peanut Butter CARAMEL cups. Yep, those crazy folks over at Hershey decided to throw a curve ball at us and add caramel to the already perfected Reese’s peanut butter cup. I, for one, am skeptical at this flavor combination. Will it be too sweet? Will it be as good as the original? Better? Well, there’s only one way to find out… *Munch, munch, munch. Chew, swallow, gulp*

Hmmm…well, it is good. It’s not great, but it’s good. It’s very sweet, but some people like really sweet things. This isn’t triple-decker fudge-cake sweet, but it’s definitely sweet. It looks just like a normal peanut butter cup, but inside, it is so much more. It’s got the original peanut butter spread that is in the classic candy, but underneath that is a layer of smooth, silky caramel. The caramel is gooey and really delicious, but (for me) it’s a bit much. One of my favorite things about the original peanut butter cup is the fact that the peanut butter has a sort of saltiness to it, and that is now overshadowed by the layer of caramel. The whole thing is encased in the famous “cup?? of rich, milk chocolate. I think that this might be good with a huge glass of milk to cut the sweetness, and it is definitely a candy to savor, rather than gulp down. I say it is worth trying, so the next time you want something new, pick up a package of Reese’s Peanut Butter Caramel Cups. Give the little guys a shot.
