Sorry to blog on about food stuff, but Reese’s Inside Out Peanut Butter Cups are nasty. I got a variety pack last time I was at Target, and this is by far my least favorite. They’ve taken some perfectly good chocolate and an extra sweet peanut butter (which is plenty good candy, by the way), and swapped them out for a waxy, gritty peanut butter outside, and a chalky, bitter chocolate filling. (White chocolate, on the other hand, is a pleasant variation on the theme.)
I realized today that I’ve been eating them to get to the bottom of the bag, and that’s no reason to take in 100 calories and five fat grams. So as soon as everyone’s gone today, I’m going to make a spontaneous gift to someone’s candy bowl: the gift of substandard candy.

Just. Throw them. AWAY.
It’s hard to wrap the mind around that, I know… but they’re bad. You don’t like them or want them, and nobody else needs them either.
The candy bowl in our office gets a new layer of Hershey’s Miniatures about every ten days, and the substrata of off-brand toffee chews and peppermints rarely even gets stirred.
It was hard to wrap my mind around giving them away in the first place, but I’m still going to do it. I got ten here, if anyone knows where I work, they’ll be in the candy dish. I’ll let you in.
I asked one of my coworkers if he’d had any of the inside out reese’s I’d left in the candy bowl. “No, I had one bite and then I threw it out.” Still, there were none left the next day.
