I’m a big fan of dark chocolate. I’m a really big fan of dark chocolate. I can sit for hours thinking of ways to bake with and eat dark chocolate. So you can imagine my excitement when Reese’s came out with Dark Chocolate peanut butter cups!! It was like Christmas in October. I drove to the store, went straight for the candy isle and bought two packages, one to eat, one to share. Got home and my husband had an early season fire going in the fireplace. It was cold and rainy outside, the perfect setting to sit down with a blanket, a big glass of water (lactose intolerant) and my new found treasure. The anticipation was almost more than I could bear. I ripped open the package, took one of those precious cups in my hand and took a bite….eww. Hmmm, maybe I just chewed and swallowed too quickly to appreciate? I take another bite….blech! Nope, no, this couldn’t be. They’re terrible! The quality of the dark chocolate is just bad! I give the other cup to my husband and pour a glass of wine. A smooth Merlot that has hints of dark chocolate – perfect!
