Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Some say that Heath Ledger's chilling performance as The Joker is the best thing about The Dark Knight. But I dare say that the best thing about The Dark Knight is its promotional Special Edition Reese's Peanut Butter Bat.
Before I get to that, I must expound my philosophy: Reese's Special Edition Cups (which also include Halloween Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkin and Easter Reese's Peanut Butter Egg) consistently trump traditional cups because they have a higher peanut butter to chocolate ratio. See, classic Cups are weighed down by the shell's chocolate crimping, which leaves us peanut butter lovers pining. But Special Edition Cups forgo the frills and pack as much PB as possible into a thin chocolate casing. In fact, if we're really getting down to brass tacks, Egg beats Pumpkin solely because Pumpkin has the little all-chocolate stem at the top.
Based on that logic, the product image leads one to assume that the crevices of the bat's wings and sonar ears would deliver too much chocolate - sort of a multi-stemmed Pumpkin, if you will. But holy PB, Batman! The dips and dives of this bat's outline are all widely contoured and therein maintain the traditional Special Edition skimming of chocolate. In fact, the wing-body-wing shape of the bat is almost like three mini-Eggs that have been fused together. What seemed to be a conceptual mess is, in actuality, a POW! BIFF! THWACK! of deliciousness.
So while I do not place Bat above Egg, it does earn a solid standing above Pumpkin. It's just a damn shame that this one won't come around annually.

If only the major, commercial chocolate manufacturers would stop unnecessarily adding milk and milk products to their treats, I (and other lactose intolerants) would finally be able to eat them without fear of repercussion!
