Here we have what I do believe is only my second limited edition Peanut Butter Cups review, the first being the Elvis cups last summer. These are caramel and peanut butter, with not much else in terms of information given on the package.

Well let’s see, first off, the normal orange Reese’s theme, it’s then been splashed with brown caramel. They have a cartoon PB cup on the front which looks as if it’s oozing caramel, there are two cups in this pack (I’m used to the 3 pack variety with the normal cups), and is a rather lightweight 39g.

So not wanting to waste anymore time (i.e. being bloody hungry) I opened these up and peeled the cups away from their wrappers. The first thing I noticed was that there was no peanut butter residue left on the wrappers, on one of them a tiny bit of caramel oozed, but that was all.

And biting into the cups revealed that at the bottom of them was where the caramel resided. It took up the bottom bit of space between the chocolate and the peanut butter, which of course sat on top. The caramel didn’t ooze, but it was certainly soft and yielding, sweet and sticky and dark.

What the caramel did was take flavour away from the peanut butter, and replace it with something that wasn’t altogether that great. They’re delicious, but the ordinary cups are so much better. The caramel is nice but plain, there’s nothing to it, it adds a nice texture and takes away some of the grease of the peanut butter, but I wouldn’t recommend these over the ordinary PB cups.
