Reese's Big Cup w NUTS
Reese’s Pieces*, eh. In fact, bleh to almost all in the recent parade of Reese’s spinoffs, from xtra choc to xtra PB, xtra-creamy to white choc. Even the original Reese's cups were NSG. So, singling out Reese’s Big Cup w/ Nuts is no mere tossing-another-log, nor is it just another desperation blog entry. How dare you. No, Big Cup w/ Nuts is special. ... i.e. really good, w/ a dialogue between the choc & peanuts (which are actually salted and some still whole).
*hershey's site sez there's a new reese's pieces w/ nuts too. have not seen, have low hopes

Gawd, she's back on the sweets again!
some nice links: desperate and how dare you especially. also liked the explanation of why salt makes melon tastes sweeter. assume salt works the same way on grapefruit, which is what we always used in my family. hate it when some coats a grapefruit half in gritty sugar.
was that peanut a grave marker? sure looked like it. i know what food/beverage item teresa would choose for her tombstone. how about the rest of you? think i would go for a martini and a cigarette.
nice, d.b. ... now if only i could get my hands on that blowup starbucks cup
hey dean this is sweet AND salty!
TG, I stand corrected!
I think my marker should be a bowl of chicken soup, to illustrate that I was always ready to offer comfort to my neighbors.
MY HEADSTONE WILL BE A GIANT GOLDEN TOILET.
How did we get on this rather morbid topic? But seeing as we're here, mine will probably be . . . hmmm, I'll have to get back to that. Right now, I'm thinking pizza, but that would just look retarted.
I've never been a fan of mixing chocolate with peanut/peanut butter. Peanut butter should be just ground peanuts with no sugar at all.
My headstone should be a Hershey's Kiss.
d.b is putting on airs. mine would be a bud longneck and some mountain oysters.
clairevoyant: have you tried my dark chocolate peanut butter cups? (and you know, profits from their sales go to a good cause.)
Paul,
after my first experience with a reese's cup, the thought of mixing choc & PB together seems worse than eating 50 hard boiled eggs at one time. (but you'd know all about that)
well, it is really very hard for someone so well-eaten as me to choose just one food, but i think i would have to go with some varietal meat such as sweetbreads, because i have always encouraged people to be more adventurous in their dining choices. (and beverages, too; i mean you shouldn't get stuck on just one coffee!)
does anyone remember the chocolate cups that were filled with a semi-marshmellow creme filling? valomilk or something like that; haven't seen one is years, but i really liked them when i was a kid. you would bite into one side, then you could suck out all the filling.
how about mexican mole sauce? it has both nuts and chocolate in it.
my food statue could take the place of my name on my tombstone.
a postman, fed ex and united parcel drivers, and one of those people who go around putting takeout menus and handbills on your door knob.
good try, smores, but mallomars are those cookies with the graham cracker base topped by marshmallow and coated in chocolate.
however, your response did prod me into doing what i should have done before posting the item. i went to google and valomilk was indeed the name of the chocolate cups. there is a web site, valomilk.com. they are made by a small kansas company and don't get shelf space in stores, but the site says you can find them at cracker barrel restaurants (which i have never visited).
beluga and iced vodka for me!
Oh Pola, that does sound good!
Jess, how are mallomars different from Moonpies (or as I still call them "Wagon Wheels")?

tg: that s'mores bar is a poor imitation of mallomars, which have a dark chocolate coating, not your namby-pamby milk chocolate.
IN CASE ANYBODY WAS WONDERING, I KNOW HOW TO SPELL RETARDED! JUST ASK.
dean: quality vs. white trash ingredients. also, the filling on mallomars in rounded, not flat.
twisted dog, ask donald trump if he knows how to spell erect. or maybe that's a word with which he's not so familiar
oh! I'm gonna start passing those out for communion.
HEY TRUMP! WHY'S YOUR SPELLING SO FLACCID?
could prozac count as a tombstone food?
"errect" or not, i'm happy to see donald trump is back
did anyone notice that dean called me Pola, which, of course, was the name of my great-aunt, the vamp of the silet sceen. people say i do look a lot like her.
polar bring up her great-aunt almost as often as tereese mentions starbucks.
Cracker Barrel is terrible. That is unless you like to eat sawdust.
TG, that scotchmallow thing looks like it would taste really good.
Where can you find them (and don't tell me 7-11)?
where's emmmjay today?
Dean, they're from See's, the single-best argument for why american chocolate has the potential to be FAR superior to that oily euro-UK crap (that includes cadbury's, so shush). unfortunately the closest store is in houston. however, once thanksgiving arrives, see's sets up holiday kiosks at most of the major malls incl. galleria, northpark etc. i highly recommend!
TG: Have you tried see's Red Hot Swamp Goo?
Jess, as Valomilks can be so hard to find, you also might want to try a Cup-O-Gold which isn't quite the same but I find equally good.
TG - I'm a huge fan of See's scotchmallow, it's really the only marshmallow I like. I think it's the touch of honey that sells it for me.
Oh, if you're looking for the Reese's Pieces with Peanuts - I found them at both 7-11 (in a little bag) and at Target (in a movie-sized box). I prefer them to the regular Reese's Pieces and I wonder what took them so long to come up with them.
I'm still looking for the Hershey Mocha Almond though... anyone have any luck on that one?
Take a triple extra espresso shot, TG. ([muttering] Cadbruy's is oily, bloomin' cheek!)
re: mocha almond, scott says they are at CVS stores. (did they survive in LA? i thought i heard they pulled out; i used to shop at the one next to TJs on SM Blvd in W Hollywood.)
ms.ery, the highest NYCE posting record was 80 posts for last week's Hershey's item. So it'll take 25 more to break that.
yes, but tg's giant *$$$ cup drew a mere 22 responses. (you might up that number if you revisited the comments. think i left you -- or someone -- a message that they never responded to.)
i am a helpful sort of friend, too, ms.ery. you know you can also call on me.
i know mrs. worth. i have heard that you are sometimes too helpful!
yeh, you should try living next door to her!
actually, i found her a decent neighbor
Right you are ms.ery. I shall go back and visit that coffee cup posting at once!
dean: glad you took my advise and revisited the previous posting, which i try to make a habit of doing. you never know what late comment someone has made. but about your oscar wilde MANUSCRIPT, i may have something by him but it would be in the printed not manuscript version.
did you think you heard someone ask you polar? who would want your opinion?
Yes, but who was aking you or your evil tiwn (or your aunt come to thing of it).
dean: if you ask me is just a common way to get into a subject. it means, if you WERE to ask me, not that someone actually did. other people use the term, though not so many do on greenland, where as you know, i was reared.
you -- and scott -- both made excellent points on the review postings i hadn't seen. i have to ask scott if he has wondered why michelin doesn't star any hold-in-the-wall places (but like you, i like his web site)
Speaking of absentees, where's Captain?
captain is AWOL
WHO MISSES HIS FAT SMUG FACE?
Gosh, that only took 34 minutes. Now what?
"Dean said...

Make my tombstone a Tombstone?
ON topic, cocolate and peanut butter go mahvelously together. And if I see these in a store I might just buy a gross. The fudge ones aren't that good. In fact none of them are but the original, but this one sounds yummy.
Oh and my tombstone would probably be a peanut butter oreo.
to: the peanut gallery, the kids, ms.ery, d.b. cooper, shipworm, wise guy, dean, mrs. worth, clairevoyant, soofsayer, and anyone else whose catchy handle i am forgetting: NYCE had a little overload today and i had to delete some comments, including yours. just when we were about to reach 100! sob. i beg you to return to NYCE tomorrow where we'll have another newsy item and post more fab comments!
