Strawberry PB&J Reese's Big Cups

This was released alongside a grape version, but I've had a hard time tracking that one down. Although if I'm being honest, I'm not trying that hard. Grape flavored cold medicine for children ruined grape flavored candy for me forever. (Bubble gum flavored things too.) Actually grape things, yes. Grape flavored things, mostly no. 

Strawberry being my go-to for PB&J sandwiches, and one of my favorite flavors of anything ever, I'm happy that I could only find this one. 

With summer right around the corner, and the super high humidity, the tops got a bit messy, but they didn't fully melt. 

Taking a bite, I really like the chocolate to peanut butter ratio, but the jam is surprisingly mild. I can see it, there is a red layer at the bottom with a thick gel-like consistency, and I can taste a general fruitiness, but not so much "strawberry." Trying the "jelly" on it's own, it kind of tastes like a flavored ChapStick, or the knock-off strawberry fruit snacks my mom used to buy us from Save-A-Lot when I was a kid. That explains the lack of strawberry-ness. 

As-is, this is another Big Cup dud. Bummer. While inconvenient for snacking on the go, I definitely think going the DIY route would be best. Take a classic Reese's cup, and top it with a spoonful of jam. BOOM. Much better PB&J Reese's.

Another 1.5/5 for me. Are snacks getting more disappointing? Or am I getting snobbier?
