Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

My name is Cassandra and I love Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. This candy is amazing in various ways. First, it has a light sweet flavor that does not spoil dinner. I think I like the consistency the best. It is easily chewed and does not stick to your teeth. It is also kind of gritty. Many of the other candies are chewy and stick in your mouth. There is a major step you need to take before eating a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. You need to freeze them. This transforms the peanut butter into a perfect gritty texture. Freezing the candy is an effective process for my candy of choice but is a major mistake with the candies that are more liquid such as Snickers. When the caramel becomes a solid it becomes too hard to eat and can hurt your teeth.
