Hunka Hunka Reese's Cup

While at the store today, I found a most interesting candy that got me 'All Shook Up'. Reese's has released a special collectors edition Reese's Cup to honor the King of Rock & Roll, Elvis. It's a peanut butter & banana creme concoction in honor of the fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches made popular by Elvis. Well, being both a choco-holic and a Elvis fan, I had to try them. Overall I was very impressed. Banana flavor is a very hard flavor to do right, it usually either comes out too artificial or too overpowering. But these were right on the money, tasting like real bananas (of course, it probably helps that the ingredients list actual banana flakes so they are at least partly real bananas). The banana creme was just the right consistency, not too runny or too chunky and blended quite well with the peanut butter. They're a little to sweet to eat too many of them at once, but they're definitely worth a try.
