peanut butter cups

Ridged chocolate candy

Peanut butter cups are candy consisting of a peanut butter filling encased in chocolate, typically molded into small cup shapes.

Reese's dominates the category so thoroughly that the brand name is nearly synonymous with the product: I grabbed some Reese's from the checkout aisle.

The combination of sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter makes them a perennial favorite.
