Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup

It’s a time for candy lovers. Chocolates and chews, gummies and suckers—all manner of sweets are practically spilling out of the supermarket aisle into your house, onto your work desk and within your grasp. Maybe we’re seeing things, but gosh darn it, our favorite candies are even popping up in the city’s most luscious and refined desserts.
Such as peanut butter and chocolate. The combination is as iconic as, well, peanut butter and jelly. Actually, PB and C is eye-flutteringly better: no goop, no need for slices of damning bread carbs. And this candy legend—2008 marked its 80th year of confectionary existence—has long delivered the perfect proportion of milk chocolate to creamy peanut-butter filling. How do we eat a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup? By the mouthful.
