Lately, the H.B. Reese Candy Company (a division of Hershey Foods) has been coming out with some new twists on classic confections – like white chocolate peanut butter cups! Since I love white chocolate AND Reese’s ® Peanut Butter Cups, I decided to give these a try after lunch today. I must admit to being somewhat disappointed. The primary sensation I felt after taking my first bite was “thirsty.” Reese’s ® peanut butter filling has always been a bit on the salty side, which is a great contrast with the milk chocolate coating on their regular cups. But the white chocolate coating on these didn’t have enough creamy flavor to cut the saltiness. In fact, it didn’t seem to have much flavor at all – just a slight tinge of sweetness. I’m not really sure if this candy is a victim of poor execution, or of poor concept. But these two great tastes just didn’t taste great together. I’ll give ‘em a couple of diamonds for trying something different though.
