Some years ago I read a book about chocolate that noted that when Reece's were introduced in Germany at a big PR party, the folks invited to taste the PB cups took a big bite, and most reportedly spit it out in disgust. Not sure if that's a true story or not, but it's too good not to share. I can imagine the mortified look on the PR peoples faces.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit. I've never been crazy about those PB cups. Can I eat them? Yes. When I have a sweet tooth, are they the first thing I think of when looking to satisfy that sweet tooth? Not by a long shot.
I love the milk chocolate made in Europe. That's what I brought home last time I was there. As much of it as could be crammed in my luggage. Even the Milky Ways made over there are so much better than the ones here, although they are good. M&Ms with peanuts are a standard favorite for me.
I like the Symphony Milk Chocolate bar with almonds and toffee chips better. But those cookies and cream ones - if you break them up and scatter them over the pan of brownies before you put the pan in the oven, it comes out pretty tasty.
I love those Symphony bars! Or just a good old Hershey's with almonds.
My boys love those Cookies & Cream ones and I think they are disgusting beyond belief.. but they have always loved them and I'd always put them in their Christmas stockings.

My grandmother loved Cadbury and would eat nothing else. I love Milka but haven't had one in forever, they used to sell them at Target but no more, unless I am looking in the wrong place. There's another European candy bar I like and can't remember the name of at the moment... it's made by Nestle I think and has a weird crisp airy center that I think is coffee flavored? I can't remember now.
Anyway about the Reese's, honestly I think they are pretty nasty too, because they are way too sweet! I like chocolate and peanut butter together but not like that.

Nothing, I mean nothing beats Lindt Lindor Truffles imo.
Nothing else even comes close.
The only American Candy Bar I just love is the Russell Stover Mint Dream Bar.
I use to love Reese's cups as a child, They taste too chemically to me any more.
I do like the home made version though ~ or Trader Joe's version.

Not only believe it, I've seen it. When I brought jars of peanut butter with me when I moved to Europe, no one cared for it. When you have Nutella as a frame of reference, peanut butter is seen as strangely salty and too clumpy. I got the stink eye from most people I offered samples to.
As far as chocolate goes, I love me some Ritter. Toblerone is ok too, although the honey nougat can be on the sweet side so don't usually crave it. Lindt in bars is awesome too, but the Lindor truffles made under license here in the US have a strange, waxy texture with a mouth feel on this side of weird.
Cannot stomach most American chocolates - they are cloyingly sweet with inferior ingredients. Anything that says 'chocolatey' is not chocolate, folks. The cocoa butter that makes it chocolate is replaced with inferior hydrogenated fats like palm oil. Blecch.
Tried this candy and did not like it, I am more of a dark chocolate person, the darker the chocolate the better for me.
