I had heard about the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups a month or two ago but forgot all about them. Until today when I finally found them, that is. I was surprised to see them at the Circle K by work. I greedily grabbed 2 packs, wanting to eat them right away in the morning but knowing I should wait. Will power at it's finest!
Once I finally had the chance to gobble them up, it was perfect. First, to describe the look. They are obviously intended to mirror Reese's Peanut Butter Cups:
- two to a pack
- surrounded in small cardboard to protect the cups
- the cups themselves are bite-size
- they have ridges
- same look and feel
Yet there are a few differences:
- square cups instead of circular
- no pesky paper wrapper that usually removes a chunk of the bottom layer of chocolate
- one downside is that they aren't as thick as Reese's Cups
Biting into them, they are delicious! The center is softer with the grit, yet you do have a slight crunch from time to time. It's unlike biting into a Butterfinger Bar which is all crunch, these have just a tiny crunch amid the smooth peanut butter center. I am surprised that the color of the center matches that of the Butterfinger Bar. Looking at the ingredients, I guess it's the annatto paprika extract color since there aren't any food colors used. It also obviously tasted like a Butterfinger Bar!
I hope these stay around, wouldn't mind seeing them become as popular as Reese's Cups. Only time will tell!
