      Hershey’s chocolates, including Reese’s, have gotten noticeably worse over th last 10 years. Peanut butter cups have gotten waxy and less flavorful.

        I feel like Reese’s has an issue with their peanut butter. it tastes so sweet I can barely tell it’s peanuts

          I had a gourmet peanut butter cup from a boutique chocolatier, and it was like a flashback to my childhood, eating Reese’s on Halloween. It’s entirely my subjective experience, but it convinced me that they changed the recipe at some point in the last 25 years or so.

            I’m with you. I think it was cheaper and more addictive to use more sugar, so they did that, if not other changes to the recipe

      I’m partial to the nutrageous bars and the pretzel big cups, but yeah regular Reese’s cups just aren’t as good anymore. I think the base ones are just too oily anymore

      Was going to post this. I love Fastbreak! Agree that Reese’s cups pale by comparison.

      The Niagra brand peanut butter cups are my crack. Probably the most expensive ones in the supermarket, but I shouldn’t be eating too many anyway

        I’ll be on the lookout for them, usually American chocolate has a reputation for being gross so I avoid it.
