So, this is what it's come to. My life is officially so boring that I'm reduced to blogging about food. Well, either my life is boring, or food is just THAT important to me. Actually, that must be it, since, really, my weekend wasn't all that boring. Well, regardless, I just felt that I needed to share this tasty confection with all my faithful readers. Found at Walmart, for a mere 50c/bar, it's the all-new Reese's Whipps. I have to be honest here and admit that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups don't rank all that high on my list of favorite foods. They wouldn't even make a list of my favorite candy bars (and I'm not generally a candy bar fan, either). They're ok, but they don't call to me, or anything. So, had I not been at Wal-Mart with my good friend Rochelle, chances are, I would have passed right by the Reese's Whipps with nary a second glance. Thankfully, Rochelle was with me (all the way from Washington!) and decided to pick one up for her boyfriend, Paul. She described him as a "connoisseur of chocolate." Well, not to be outdone by this enigmatic Paul, I myself picked up a Reese's Whipps. I'm still trying to decide if this was wise or not. On the one hand, I have found a new treat that I thoroughly enjoy. On the other hand, I've found a new treat that I thoroughly enjoy. Being a self-proclaimed sugar-addict, finding a new fix probably wasn't really necessary. Ah well - try one for yourself and let me know what you think! It's a cross between a Reese's peanut butter cup (as in it has Reese's peanut butter and chocolate) and a 3 musketeers (with a light, whipped peanut butter filling, instead of the dryish, greasy filling of a peanut butter cup. Heavenly! As the wrapper proudly proclaims, it has 40% less fat than the average leading chocolate candy bar. Please don't take that as an indication that this is health food - it's just not as bad junk food. Doesn't mean much for me, since I wouldn't likely be eating the average leading chocolate candy bar, yet another Whipps is already calling my name. I feel that I must add - this bar is rich. Definitely a good one to share, and have a glass of water handy!
