      That’s a really low bar you have there for “good candy.”

        Sweets quality in US is shit overall. Their chocolate is simply disgusting and everything else is made to a lower standard.

          a fresh peanut butter cup is a joyous thing.

          people putting down peanut butter cups as if they’re some garbage candy … tf has this world come to?

          don’t let Nerii there drag your estimation of a pbc down.

            They are though and I say that as someone that loved them. If you’re talking about the Reese’s specifically, they’ve gotten shittier than they used to be. Lower-quality peanut butter, worse chocolate. They’re gross now.

            American chocolate really is trash. Head to Aldi and get some Schogetten or Choceur. You’ll taste how much better the chocolate is.

            I do like a peanut butter cup, but you know whats better? A spoon of quality peanut butter and a spoon of Nutella.

        I’m a suckered for a peanut butter cup, but it is basically spreading peanut butter on the worst quality chocolate you can find.
