To enjoy this candy as a simple treat, unwrap it and eat it directly. For baking, you can chop the candy into smaller pieces and mix them into cookie dough before baking. The chocolate and peanut butter will melt and create pockets of flavor throughout the cookies. You can also melt the entire bar gently over low heat or in a double boiler to create a dipping sauce for fruits or pretzels. When melting, be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can seize.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dark chocolate, milk chocolate has a sweeter profile and a creamier texture due to the addition of milk solids. The peanut butter filling provides a distinct contrast in flavor and texture to the smooth chocolate exterior, setting it apart from plain chocolate bars.

How to keep the rest
