Cross Over to the DARK Side: Reese’s
Sharability: 10 (one of these Reese’s cups is more than enough to satisfy the dark chocolate junkie)
Denture Danger: 0
Convenience: 7
Novelty: 8 (I’d say get them while you can, they probably won’t be around for too long)
Overall: 7
The out-standing “DARK” on the Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Reese’s package sets the mood for what lies inside. Immediately upon opening you notice that the light milk chocolate has been replaced by a darkened bitterness. Not to say that this is bad, but the dark chocolate Reese’s experience is surely not the same as your predictably sweet and delicious milk chocolate one.
The bitter smell if it is a bit foreboding, as crossing over to the Dark Side should not be a thoughtless endeavor. The Reese’s dark chocolate does not quite have that sweet familiarity of the milk chocolate, but instead has the bittersweetness that goes best with the more sophisticated taste bud. Take your bites slowly and savor the rich-grainy-peanut-buttery-sweet-yet-bitter-darkness of the Reese’s Dark Chocolate as you wash it down with your thirst quenching glass of cold water (or milk).
In my opinion the milk chocolate Reese’s is unbeatable by any Reese’s alternative, but the truth is, the Dark Chocolate doesn’t need to be an alternative, it can be an addition. Original Reese’s are for the day, while Dark Chocolate Reese’s, coincidentally, are for that midnight snack. No need to cross over completely, you can always keep one foot on the light side while the other foot sneaks over to the dark side.
