Don’t get it confused. This Peanut Butter Cup is not the same as the solo one from Great Value. That one has chocolate fudge swirls. This one has peanut butter swirls. I guess they figure this one already has enough chocolate from the Cookies And Cream side, but that difference in swirls makes for a difference in taste. This one tastes significantly better, at least for those of us who prefer the taste of peanut butter over chocolate. The only chocolate found in this Peanut Butter Cup is the outside of the Reese’s-like cups themselves.

Why this superior version of Peanut Butter Cup isn’t available by itself is beyond me; I hate how it seems these companies can’t make a peanut butter product without adding that massively overrated flavor; but it’s a damn shame it isn’t. The solo Peanut Butter Cup is good. This one is great; a fact offset by the fact that it’s forced to share a carton with Cookies And Cream, the taste of which pales in comparison. Nevermind the fact that it’s hard, if not impossible, to spoon out all of one without inadvertently spooning out some of the other.
