Reese's Pieces, but Better

I'm a SUCKER for chocolate.

I think it partially has to do with my Swiss heritage and my moms glorious stacks of swiss chocolate bars in various cupboards.

Whenever relatives came to visit, we'd get lots of them. Toblerone, Lindt, Cailler and my personal favourite, Schoggi Stängli. Seriously there was nothing better than waiting for our fresh-off-the-plane visitors to open their suitcases.

I mean, other than seeing them, of course...

Oh. Also. I'm a SUCKER for peanut butter. It might be a problem.

Theres no swiss connection to that, just pure love for its pure goodness, especially with chocolate.

So what happens when you mix those two together?

Glory:

So why is this recipe better than regular Reese's? Ingredients. And taste.

Below is the ingredient list for the original ones:

There are enough sketchy ingredients in there to not get me too excited about them anymore.

Below is the ingredient list for the new and improved tasty and healthier ones.

Don't knock it till you try it - these TOTALLY hit the spot.
