Reese's Peanut Butter chocolate

http://www.hersheys.com/reeses/spreads

Now I just need to decide on the best way to package it for on the trail consumption.

If I would take the whole jar with us I'm sure the DW would devour it all in the first hour. When I showed it to her I believe I saw tears of joy. grin

They've missed a trick if it doesn't come in single serve pouches.

Kraft makes a version of this, that I see in most grocery stores around here. We tried it, and I prefer peanut butter myself, and bacpacboy prefers Nutella. I just didn't find it good at being either pb or chocolate. It's possible, though, that Reeses is better - they are the PB&C experts, after all. wink

As for packaging on the trail, Coghlan's Squeeze tubes.

Yeah, but not widely available in the UK, so have to pay a premium for them... anything between $2 and $3 a pouch

I have to agree with bacpacjac. A small jar of non-hydrogenated PB is great in the car or chuckbox for emergencies, but for hiking, I'm sticking with a pouch of GORP or it's cousin, GOMMP (good old M&Ms and peanuts). I'll just chew 'em up myself.

My wife bought a jar of this for our 7 year old daughter's slumber party (5 7 year old girls, yay) and it went over ok. It was mainly used as a topping for ice cream. It just didn't have that Reese's flavor. But , I'm hooked on the grind it yourself peanut butter we buy at HyVee.
