If you don&#8217;t, I hope he or she never hugs you again. <\/p>\n<p>Sure, your kids won&#8217;t care, because they&#8217;re excited to get sugar, but by giving them this snack, you&#8217;re basically teaching them to settle, instead of demanding for something better. You wouldn&#8217;t want your child to settle for that woman who owns 24 cats or that guy who runs a product review blog, so why would you have them settle for a poor representation of the peanut butter and chocolate combination.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think it&#8217;s impossible to mess up the merging of peanut butter and chocolate, which is the OG of sweet and salty combinations, but it tastes like Nabisco found a way. Maybe they have some kind of bet with Kellogg&#8217;s to see which company could make the least exciting peanut butter and chocolate product. The winner gets possession of the Cookie Cup, a bronzed cookie jar with the word &#8220;winner&#8221; etched into it.<\/p>\n<p>The Ritz Crackerfuls Peanut Butter &#038; Chocolate box brags about how it&#8217;s &#8220;Made with real peanut butter,&#8221; but it&#8217;s not made with really good peanut butter. In between the cracker sandwich are two pencil-thin lines of the not really good peanut butter and a thicker line of not really good chocolate. The peanut butter smells like the cheap store-brand stuff and has a gritty consistency. The flavor of the chocolate, which is creamier than the peanut butter, reminds me of the crappy chocolate in a Sixlet.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/RitzCPBC2.jpg?resize=600%2C378&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"378\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/RitzCPBC2.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/RitzCPBC2.jpg?resize=300%2C189&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They say two wrongs make a right, but those two wrongs in between two buttery, long Ritz crackers make a long wrong. I expected the peanut butter and chocolate to have a robust flavor, but they ended up having as much flavor as the crackers, and at times the cracker&#8217;s buttery flavor somewhat masked the PB&#038;C. These Ritz Crackerfuls have to be one of the least satisfying peanut butter and chocolate products my taste buds have ever experienced.<\/p>\n<p>While eating the first one, I thought for a second maybe I just got a bad one in the box, kind of like how you get a bad grape in the bunch, but after the second and third ones, I forced myself to drive to the store and buy some Reese&#8217;s Peanut Butter Cups so my taste buds can remember what it&#8217;s like to have a peanut butter and chocolate combination that doesn&#8217;t suck.<\/p>\n<p>Nabisco, which is owned by food and beverage conglomerate Kraft, could&#8217;ve used better quality stuff in this cracker sandwich, because Kraft also owns Planters, which makes peanuts and peanut butter, and Cadbury, which knows a thing or two about chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Usually the marriage of peanut butter and chocolate evokes excitement, but the Ritz Crackerfuls Peanut Butter &#038; Chocolate don&#8217;t do it for me. They aren&#8217;t completely disgusting, but I don&#8217;t want to eat the rest. I have three of them left and I think I want to crush them with my feet so that I can listen to the crackers crumble under my body&#8217;s weight, because if they aren&#8217;t going to satisfy my sense of taste, I think they should at least satisfy my sense of hearing.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 pack &#8211; 140 calories, 60 calories from fat, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat*, 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 2 grams of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 160 milligrams of sodium, 75 milligrams of potassium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>*made with partially hydrogenated oil<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Ritz Crackerfuls Peanut Butter &#038; Chocolate<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $3.50 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 6 pack<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 3 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Not completely disgusting. 6 grams of whole grain per serving.
