Candy Review: Reese's Dark


I tried my first Reese's Dark recently.  I thought it was okay overall.  I felt it was lacking a certain creaminess that the regular milk Reese's possesses.  I also experienced a weird aftertaste.  I think regular Reese's has this aftertaste as well.  This just didn't taste right to me, the dark chocolate flavor was quite off... tasted like processed chocolate (which is what it is, of course).  As a fan of dark chocolate, this did not live up to my expectations.  I would not repurchase this candy.  I'm still waiting for the day they will bring back my favorite Hershey's product (it's discontinued), the Reese's Crunchy Cookie Cup.  It was a regular Reese's with a dark chocolate crispy cookie in the middle.  You are dearly missed.

I feel like the dark chocolate would clash with the peanut butter taste. The two flavors are both very strong, which is why I think the original Reese's is such a classic. The milk chocolate compliments the peanut butter which results in a delicious snack.

Just what I think :)
