Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Quinoa Theme Week.

Today's Organic Crispy Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups were distributed by: Justin's, LLC (Boulder, CO).

Aroma and flavor notes included: relatively high-quality, balanced dark chocolate, subtle peanut/peanut butter, and faint fruit (authentic fruit (peach, berry), fruity cereal).

Texture: creamy chocolate coating with a slightly thicker/stiffer peanut butter filling, topped with crunchy quinoa pieces.

I enjoyed this updated take on classic* peanut butter cups; the flavorful and balanced chocolate used; the textural blend of creamy chocolate, peanut butter and crunchy quinoa; and the thoughtful list of quality and organic ingredients.

Ingredients: Organic Dark Chocolate (Organic Evaporated Cane Sugar, Organic Cacao Beans*, Organic Cocoa Butter*, Organic Sunflower Lecithin [Emulsifier]), Organic Peanut Butter (Organic Ground Peanuts), Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Quinoa, Organic Peanut Flour, Organic Palm Oil, Sea Salt, Organic Sunflower Lecithin. (*Rainforest Alliance Certified) 

Allergen-related information: Contain Peanuts. Produced on Equipment That Also Processes Tree Nuts and Milk.

Harry Burnett Reese, a former employee of Milton Hershey, has been credited with inventing the peanut butter cup in 1928. A century later, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups continue to be a candy staple, and the still-successful original continues to inspire many variations.
