These individually-wrapped clusters maintained much of the classic Reese's peanut butter cup flavors; they were made from peanuts, pecans, peanut butter, caramel, and were "wrapped in milk chocolate."

I ate these clusters with some chocolate ice cream and nuts; and later in the day, I read an article by Stephanie Sandoval (ABC Arizona website*), reminding readers that July is National Ice Cream month (established in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan). Her piece also included a chocolate and nut ice cream recipe that happened to look a lot like what I just ate earlier today. Hard to beat the combination of chocolate, nuts and ice cream.
