I prefer to eat chocolate cake. It tastes almost like a cake-shaped peanut butter cup, and you’ll never convince me that it’s not the best candy there is. I think what makes this possible is the fact that this frosting actually tastes like peanut butter – it’s not a vague hint of peanut butter or the usual hint of peanut butter – it’s clearly just peanut butter. But it’s creamier, lighter, and sweeter, so consuming a good amount of isn’t overwhelming at all.
