They are a popular treat known for their distinct sweet and salty flavor combination. The texture is a delightful contrast between the slightly firm chocolate shell and the soft, melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter center. They are a classic confectionery item enjoyed by many.

To enjoy them as a snack, simply unwrap and eat. For baking, they can be chopped or melted. When adding to cookie dough, chop the cups into smaller pieces and fold them in before baking.
