      I really like them. My coworkers and family hate them, and mock me for liking them. But I get all of the unwanted Whoppers at Halloween, so it’s worth their contempt.

          They are a candy, malt balls covered in milk chocolate. Malt is one of those divisive flavors. The name is confusing!

      This is it for me. I don’t even like most candy after the first one or two. I’ll have something and think ‘oh that’s good’ but then not go back for more, but with peanut m&ms I can and will keep going until they’re gone.

      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 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

    Literally anything from Aldi. Every single sweet they sell there is amazing, stupidly cheap, bafflingly well made.

    Outside of that, Easter egg reese’s pieces eggs. They have a way better ratio of peanut butter to candy shell than the little bits.

      OMG, this. My SO was all about Reese’s peanut butter eggs this Easter, but the far superior Aldi chocolate peanut butter bunny bite was my Easter vice.

      I like Aldi’s chocolate. All of it.
