Candy: Peanut Butter Whoppers

Whoppers are a classic candy from the classic candy company, Hershey's.

As far back as I can remember, this was my number one choice for snacking on at the movies. The boxes, or sometimes cartons, seem to never end until the moment you realize, you've eaten the whole thing.

So, Hershey's got this wild idea. The thought, "Hey! People like Whoppers, and people like Reese's Peanut Butter candies. So why not combine them?" Then, they did; and I have tried them!

In case you are not familiar with the Whoppers make-up, they are a malted milk ball, covered, in this case, with a smooth peanut butter coating. The original Whopper is covered in chocolate.

I can honestly say that the only thing better than this, would be if they managed to somehow combine the chocolate and peanut butter coatings, either on the Whopper itself, or in a box.

The peanut butter flavor is mild and very true to the established Reese's taste. I am not a huge fan of peanut butter, or such flavored candies, so I have broken up this carton into a few different snacking sessions and casual handfuls when I get the urge. Yummy.

Pros:
New flavor Whoppers!
Not just peanut butter, but Reese's Peanut Butter.
Milk-carton style packaging.

Cons:
Addictive. It's hard to stop yourself from eating them, even when you are choking from peanut butter overload.
Peanut butter can become overwhelming after eating it like this.
You need to mix Chocolate Whoppers in yourself!

Verdict:
- These Whoppers are not far off from the classic, therefore you can enjoy them without feeling like its some totally new candy. If you are familiar with the original, I suggest trying them.
- If you like Reese's Peanut Butter anything, I think you will enjoy these quite a bit.
- If you have peanut allergies, you better stay clear. These could actually kill you.
