  • There Can Be Only One (Or Two…)

    If I was forced to choose only one candy, then it would very likely be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Caveat: I much prefer the big cup, trees or eggs, etc. Way more PB than the chintzy regular ones these days! If only they still made them like they did back in the day. Damned Shrinkflation.…
