Yes. Certainly in Selfridge's. If memory serves, also in certain Waitrose
stores. Am I imagining it, or did I see them in Tesco (Amersham)?

As far as I remember (fellow Brit who's had a few trips to US) they're small
chocolate cups filled with peanut butter. I liked them!
>Are they obtainable in Britain?
I've seen them at an American import shop near here, don't think I've seen
them anywhere else in the UK though.
>Is there a British equivalent?
Don't think so, unless you bought those little chocolate petit four cases and
filled them with peanut butter.
E-mail me if you're interested - I could go to the shop in question, see
if they have some, and maybe send you some.

Reese's pbcs are flat, about 1/2" high and about 1.5" in diameter, milk
chocolate molded in fluted dark-brown candy cups such as those frequently
found in a chocolate box, filled with rather salty, grainy peanut butter.
They come filled with "smooth" (but still pleasantly grainy) and "crunchy"
(peanut bits added) varieties, as of (?someone correct me here?) maybe the
early '80s?
And, they rule.
Now you tell *us* in the USA: are they obtainable in Britain? Is there a
British equivalent?
Best wishes, Jill

paper muffin liner coated in chocolate, place a peanut butter type
fondant (slightlly grainy) on top of the chocolate, and cover with more
chocolate. A current trend in advertising for them is "There is no
wrong way to eat a Reeses peanut butter cup". I eat mine by removing
the bottom chocolate then eating the filling and saving the chocolate
for last, but then in high school I would gross out my friends by
unfolding the school burritos, eating the filling and disposing of most
of the tortilla. I also unrolled my HoHos - individual serving jelly
roll made with a chocolate cake and white cream filling then dipped in a
chocolate coating.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups <tm> are made by Hershey. They consist of a milk chocolate disk about 2 inches acrossand maybe one-half inch deep. They are filled with something that resembles peanut butter but probably has additives. They are typical U.S. mass marketed tooth decay enhancers, but I think I'll get one for my afternoon snack. (Actually they come two to a pack). I don't know if they're available in the U.K.

I suppose you could sandwich pieces of chocolate together with peanut butter.

Hershey's Chocolate, that makes Reese's Peanut Butter cups, also makes it
in a Candybar form called " Nutragious Bars" or something like that. I am
told that it contains the same stuff, but looks like a Baby Ruth Bar...
Anyone tried one...Anyone seen one????

>Bill
**NOT** the same thing! But becoming very popular nonetheless. Yes, it
tastes a good deal like a Baby Ruth, too--only with some peanut butter. But
now all the non-USA people will be asking what a Baby Ruth bar is ...

butter, which is a paste made by blending peanuts with a touch of cooking
oil at a high speed. I don't think they are available in Britain; even
peanut butter is very hard to find and very expensive. We've just returned
from visiting my daughter Ruth in London, and the most urgent request
from her London boyfriend was to bring his very favorite Jif brand peanut
butter, which of course I did--tons of it, which he has probably already
consumed.

A couple of years ago Donahue had a guest on his program who gave the
recipe for Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. The guest had the unusual hobby of
duplicating famous recipes. I wrote the recipe down but have since
lost it. If you really want the recipe someone out there on the
internet probably has the same recipe. It's really quite simple
peanut butter and chocolate but I don't remember the exact
measurements.

That's interesting ..I always ate mine by eating all the chocolate
around the outside and saving the peanut butter for last :)
I also eat my Oreos by scraping all the cream off with my teeth and
eating the cookie part last.

Lead me not into temptation.... I can find it myself.

The chocolate is also very soft -- though this may of course be due to the
fact that the last pack of Reese's I bought were from a shop in which the
temperature was well over 90F.....

I made home-made peanut butter cups (supposedly a Reese's replica) and it
required mixing the peanut butter with powdered sugar. The chocolate was
just melted chocolate chips spread in a muffin tin. They came out GREAT!

My late bunny rabbit used to eat the top cookie, then the cream, then
the bottom cookie of the Oreos. Considering her coat was the same
color as the cookies, it made a really cute sight. (She'd eat any cookie
but she got really excited about Oreos.)
This was before I knew chocolate was bad for her. 'Course SHE never
had a problem...even when she chowed down on some optic fiber cable
that tumbled to the floor (and THAT gave me the willies...I had to
beat it into the head of the vet that it was basically ground glass
before he'd take me seriously).

Try salt. Seriously, the peanut butter inside of a Reese's pbc is some
of the saltiest stuff around! Delish, though...

Yeah, it is pretty salty...that's what makes it so good with the chocolate.
I have a recipe for peanut butter cups at home (yeah, yeah, I'll bring it in
to share...) and for the peanut butter part, you mix in confectioner's
sugar. I never thought to add extra salt but don't see how it could hurt!
But in a pinch, some peanut butter smeared onto some milk chocolate is
great (I wouldn't sandwich it, though -- that'd be too much chocolate at
once, IMO). My mom should've given each of us kids a jar of peanut butter
in our Easter baskets, because we were all chocolate-n-peanut butter fiends.

Melt chocolate chips in microwave) and pour some into muffin tin (greased)
Mix creamy peanutbutter and powdered sugar (enough to make it fairly
thick and somewhat moldable)
Place on melted chocolate
Pour more melted chocolate over the top.
Chill as long as you can endure without trying one!!
They are great and really easy!

Try to find foil ones instead of paper -- easier to peel.
