“chocolate” in mainstream candy is such garbage now. I couldn’t bring myself to get the kiddos Reese’s peanut butter eggs this year and I used to love those
I refuse to buy anything except real chocolate bars by lindt or similar “premium” brands
Honestly, some of the best chocolate you can get is just semi-sweet baking chips
Dude and what the hell is it with that weird vomity aftertaste? I swear to god I dont remember it being that way when I was a kid but something in the new chocolate just leaves such a nasty aftertaste on my mouth…
In order to stabilize the milk they use in the milk chocolate bars and make them last longer on the shelf, they treat it with a process that converts some of the milk fats into butyric acid. That’s the vomit flavor. I’m sorry to report that it has probably always tasted that way, you just didn’t notice. They’ve been using the same process since the early 20th century.
They spelled Reecee wrong
When you figure out how easy it is to make buckeyes, you never feel smart buying Reese’s again.
What are buckeyes?
The seed of state tree of america’s favorite place… Ohio.
But also the confectionary of the same name is dope.

Ok, I’m making this. I take chunks of chocolate and dip them in peanut butter every single day, this would make it so much easier
Thanks for posting!
Thanks going try this one.
It’s outrageous how much better they are homemade with decent peanut butter and real chocolate. You don’t even have to temper the chocolate correctly, just form them in cupcake papers or scraps of baking parchment, pop em in the fridge, and devour.
I like to use chunky peanut butter, and add flake salt.
100% Growing up my great grandma would make buckeyes. No store bought candy compares.
Flake salt is amazing! I just learned about it last year, a friend added it to chocolate chip cookies.
Chef’s kiss.
Finally! No more vomit-flavored chocolate!
Yeah, what is up with that?? When i visited the US a few years ago, i bought a hershey bar and it was the most vile, disgusting thing i ever ate. I still remember that vomit flavour, uggghhhh
It tastes like vomit because Hershey chocolate contains butyric acid, which is also found in vomit.
