You got your peanut butter in my chocolate!

It's time to vote! I know California is highly chocolate, while peanut butter will clearly win Georgia, but your vote still counts. Do you live in a swing state? Then it's even more imperative that you go to the polls.

That's if and only if you agree with me, of course, because there is only One True Way where sweets are concerned. Anyone who disagrees with me is undereducated and easy to dismiss. My own opinion is the one held by all the smart people.

Vote today!

I can't vote because I haven't tried either, but I suspect I won't like either as much as the original. Somehow (Dumb luck? Experimentation?), Reese's got the combination of chocolate and peanut butter perfect in the regular peanut butter cup. And it stayed that way for years and years. And then they (and every other candy company) decided they could make more money by making their candy smaller or bigger or inside out or in a different shape or substituting one kind of chocolate for another... or whatever. And every single variation (to me, at least) has been worse than the original. :( It's gotten to the point where, as a matter of principal, I won't even buy the miniature peanut butter cups even though they're 95% as good.

I, too, prefer the original over all variations I've tried since.

It's weird how delicate that balance is. And it's not just peanut butter and chocolate. Kit Kat is one of my favorite candy bars and the first time I saw a "Big Kat" or whatever they call them, I was very excited. But it just wasn't right, somehow. :(
