  • I just got a very wonderful shipment of goodies from the folks at Reese's.

  • And let me tell you something, these people remain the absolute worldwide leaders in bringing together chocolate and peanut butter.

  • Of course we know that peanut butter cups remain transcendent, but have you tried the Reese's sticks?

  • Their wafers with peanut butter in between each wafer all coated in chocolate.

  • I mean, the combination of sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter just brings people joy.

  • And the folks at Reese's do it better than anyone.

  • So shop Reese's peanut butter cups now at a store near you found wherever candy is sold.
