And this is the beauty-all the way from New York.
In case you didn't notice, allow me to point out that indeed these are half pound Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. A HALF POUND each!! Can you imagine?! It's the ultimate gift! An entire pound of the perfect combination of chocolatey and peanut buttery goodness that only Reese's can provide.
For a few days the package sat on my night stand. I was overwhelmed by the sheer mass. Intimidated by trying to figure out how to even go about eating it. I was also a little skeptical about whether it would be any good. You know how the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter varies depending on what size you eat? Peanut butter is dominate in the regular size while in the bite size chocolate is more overwhelming. If you really want a perfect ratio wait until Easter and eat the egg Reese's. Now those are something!
Refocusing on the pound of sweetness sitting by my bedside; I finally dove in. It was late at night. I was a little bit tired and little bit depressed and I just bit into the thing. Don't worry, I documented it...
Well. I was completely surprised at how delicious it was! I took one bite, then another, then I wanted to take another but I was so overloaded I couldn't do it. It was more like a pie...a big Reese's pie. Hands down, the best Reese's I have ever tasted...and I know my Reese's. The chocolate was smooth and rich and perfectly proportioned to the thick creamy peanut butter middle. People don't like the word moist but I can't help but use it. It was so so moist! It was also more calories than I can count. (1/12 of the package is 1,125 calories, dang gina!) But you don't have to worry about things like calories when it's a present. It took me about 2 weeks to eat just one of the cups but man did I love it.
Obviously I could talk about chocolate all day. What I'm trying to say is
A. I love presents, and
B. Bigger is definitely better
