Hostess was right to call these treats Totally Nutty because they were all about the peanut butter. It was the most prominent flavor I noticed when I initially tasted one of the bars, and it was also the aspect that made me want to reach for another pack after polishing my first one off. <\/p>\n
With all the nutty goodness going on, I forgot each bar has a fudge coating. Well, at least until it started to melt on my fingers. It’s easy to forget about because it’s bland compared to the rest of the bar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If I had to describe the specific flavor of the peanut butter filling, I would say it\u2019s quite close to what\u2019s in Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups. Creamy, sweet, and salty enough to make them hard to put down, it was the perfect companion for the light and airy texture of each wafer layer. <\/p>\n
Unlike Nutty Buddy bars, which come in twin packs, these are individually wrapped. So don\u2019t plan on being able to split a sleeve between you and a friend all that easily. <\/p>\n
Despite the fudge coating\u2019s shortcomings, I still found these quite enjoyable. They may not carry the Reese\u2019s name, but peanut-butter-lovers everywhere should definitely make a spot for these in their snack cabinet.<\/p>\n
