Pop Food: Reese's Whipps

Reese's Whipps

Reese's has really been going crazy with new versions of their classic peanut butter cups. Sometimes the experiment is successful (Nutrageous, Caramel) and sometimes it's just so-so (Mixed Nuts, the Elvis edition). Now they've gone all the way to ... gah.

The new Reese's Whipps is a candy bar that features peanut butter flavored nougat and has 40% less fat. It also has at least 40% less taste than a regular Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Or maybe I should say more taste, just different. In fact, it's kinda hard to eat because it tastes like someone took nougat and dipped it in sugar. There's hardly any peanut butter or chocolate taste the nougat is so overpowering.

The original Reese's is still my favorite candy bar, so I'll be sticking with that.

If you ever get the chance (this is pretty off-topic), try out Green & Black's Maya Gold chocolate. It's amazing.
