31 Days of Candy – October 1st – Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

One of the classic Halloween treats.

I went through an anti-nut phase, so I used to detest the combination of peanut butter and chocolate (and yes, I know peanuts are actually legumes- bitch, please!). Even though I got a ton of them and wouldn’t eat them, they were valuable in the Halloween Candy trade. I could barter with my brother for another box of Dots or something else a little more exotic. They were also handy for when the Tax Man (aka my mother) came around trolling for a candy fix. So unlike the vomitastic peanut butter taffy that comes in the orange and black wrappers, the Reese’s Cups were at least worth something.

But now I’ve come to my senses. I no longer fear the marriage of chocolate and peanut butter, in fact, I embrace it.
