Oh, this is a fruit infusion blend, with apples, cacao stuff galore, and almonds. Ripping open the packet, I get a waft of peanut butter cups! My mom concurs. Sweet chocolatey peanut butter cups. I was kind of hoping it would have had a black base since I prefer that when making lattes, and generally don’t care for fruit infusion blends hot. Plus, cold brewing would be weird. Iced peanut butter cups? Eh, I don’t know about that.
But hot, it works itself out. There is a ton of peanut flavour in here. This reminds me more of a DQ Peanut Buster Parfait (hot fudge + peanuts) than a Reese creation. The cocoa flavour is mild but palpable. I was expecting Ambessa’s Choco Nut to taste like this, which really fell flat in the peanut department.
It’s weird but I like it? I think I’d buy more once this actually hits store shelves. I’m a sucker for chocolate peanut butter so I’m hoping this will make a great (nearly) calorie-free substitute to have lying around for when the will power is on low.
The more I drink this, the more I think of Halloween, especially those little fun-sized chocolate bars. I used to get a lot of peanuts in a shell when I’d go trick-or-treating too, so my bag o’ loot would usually smell like a vat of chocolate and peanuts.
Whoa. I’m sure if you mix this with Salted Caramel it’ll taste like a Snickers bar. I’M SO GETTING SOME OF BOTH AND TRYING THIS.
