 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups with Caramel
I was sharing one of these with Bruce Vilanch, and upon my first bite I gushed, "Three great tastes that taste great together!" And he quipped, "What—semen, semen, and semen?!" What an asshole. Anyway, adding caramel to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is a slam-dunk idea that should have happened much sooner, comparable to the emancipation of the slaves, or the dissolution of David Hasselhoff's marriage. The caramel takes the edge off the peanut butter, sort of like a smooth beer after a shot of rough tequila, or cool Desinex after a long night of outrageous spanking. Now, Reese's has always had a knack for making one thirsty. And while it is definitely true that the caramel increases the thirstiness factor a hundredfold, this is a thirst worth suffering, unlike the 60 waterless days I spent in an Iraqi prison (to clarify: it was an Iraqui® brand toy Iraqi prison, not an actual prison in Iraq. How many heroes do you think the world needs?!). Review by Paul Position |
