Plain peanut butter? Not that exciting. But dip that creamy stuff in chocolate, and you get a serious confectionary delight. And when it comes to the peanut butter/chocolate mix, there are choices galore. Which combo candy rules?


Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Nestle Butterfinger Bar

.
Appearance: Two cute cups in bright orange packaging.
Appearance: A long, lean, mean brown and orange machine, err, bar.
Stats: $1; 250 calories, 15 g. fat.

Taste: There's a healthy blanket of milk chocolate covering the soft block of peanut butter, which helps this snack get the peanut-butter-to-chocolate ratio just right.
 Taste: The thin layer of chocolate is as smooth as butter, which is the perfect complement to the solid, brittle block of peanut-inspired candy underneath.
Downside: The peanut butter has an odd texture that will have you wishing there was a glass of milk nearby.
Downside: After a whole bar of this, there's certainly a serious toothache in your future.


Our pick: Reese's. The fight was close, but in the end we always go the easy/smooth route over the hard one.
