While I love The Impulsive Buy for padding my grocery list with fun new items, I also value it as a historical record of all the products I\u2019ve loved before (or never got to try or barely remember).<\/p>\n
Digging into the archives reminded me that a Reese\u2019s Caramel Cup once existed circa 2005. But that was then, and now it\u2019s time for an upgrade. After recent varieties filled with such treats as salty snacks, candy pieces, and cereal, Reese\u2019s Big Cup is embracing caramel, that candy bar classic. Combining a layer of caramel with its quintessential peanut butter filling, Reese\u2019s Caramel Big Cup is available in standard or King Size packages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Knowing what to expect from a standard Big Cup, I was most interested in the caramel element. A slim layer sits at the bottom of the cup, beneath the generous peanut butter core. It\u2019s smooth and loosely textured, but not runny. When I cut the Big Cup in half with a knife, the caramel reminded me of jarred caramel ice cream topping: it is soft enough to coat parts of the blade, but not so thin as to be messy. Yes, I did feel like Sweeney Todd in this moment if he were either very hungry for a sweet treat or just trying his best to transfer his dark urges to something more wholesome.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There seems to be a very thin layer of chocolate separating the peanut butter and caramel, so the two don\u2019t mix together too much. It\u2019s possible to taste them separately. The caramel is sweet, buttery, and soft. You don\u2019t get the chew of a Twix or Snickers caramel here. When all elements combine, the caramel gets a little lost, but it enhances the Big Cup\u2019s sweetness. Overall, the Big Cup tastes like a regular Reese\u2019s, just sweeter. The Big Cup is a good vehicle for caramel because it provides a solid structure to encase what is often a messy ingredient. If the cup had dedicated a tad more space to it, the caramel\u2019s buttery tones might have harmonized more equally with the peanut butter flavor.<\/p>\n

Without the historical archives of The Impulsive Buy, I might not remember the Reese\u2019s Caramel Big Cup in ten years\u2019 time. (That Great Gatsby-level of pining is reserved for the Elvis Peanut Butter and Banana Creme Reese\u2019s Cup, thank you very much!) But for now, it\u2019s a nice, slightly sweeter variation that I may pick up next time my sweet tooth goes into overdrive.<\/p>\n
