Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands

Like when Target stops selling your favorite vegan peanut butter cups… you naturally buy 100 of them…

Because asking the store to start carrying them again would be much too difficult!

And hey, since I am paying for shipping, why not get these, too?!

Someone please check in with me in a few weeks and make sure I haven’t already eaten all of these!!!

(I have a piece of chocolate – either one of these or a Ghirardelli square – after lunch each day, and sometimes (often) after dinner. For a few months I didn’t have any of these peanut butter cups because Target seemed to stop carrying them, and I didn’t want to place the order until we moved to the new house and were a bit settled. Long story long, I was CRAVING these. I love plain dark chocolate, but I need my chocolate and peanut butter fix* from time to time (and peanuts and chocolate chips weren’t cutting it!).)

*This reminds me of the summer I lived in Rome and traveled to London to visit a friend doing a summer internship there. We were talking about the things we couldn’t wait to eat when we got back to the states, and I told him the first thing I wanted was a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Then asked him if he thought that sounded good… completely forgetting about his severe peanut allergy. Oops. Ha ha. That wasΒ not the thing he was looking forward to eating!

    I love dark chocolate and peanut butter πŸ™‚
    Maybe you could ship some for safe keeping to VA πŸ˜‰ Trust me?

  2. Melissa says:

    Hahaha! You know I love this πŸ™‚

  3. Wow you went to town!!! I’d eat the lot in a week

  4. Xaarlin says:

    Oooooh! That’s quite the haul! They look pretty good too πŸ™‚ enjoy!

    If I bought them, I’d likely forget I even had them in my possession. (That’s happened before) lol

      I put some out in the candy jar, and will likely forget about the rest until I need to refill. Which is a good thing, ha ha!

    Yup, I missed peanut butter when I was in Europe too! I’m sure nowadays with the internet/amazon you could get a box of Reese’s shipped to Italy no problem. Well, except for the 25 Euro shipping cost – but it’d be worth it! πŸ™‚

    I wonder if you could find them on line, maybe through Amazon?

    You make me laugh…but I get it, I really do.

    I used to see that brand of chocolates at CVS! πŸ™‚ Not sure if they still carry them!

  9. This seems completely logical and delicious to me.

    I’ve started doing this because Cover Girl doesn’t always carry my color of preferred mascara. So when I do find it, I buy every one they have.

    oooh i just bought myself a bag of the mini reeses cups for after dinner treats last night! I have a severe problem with impulse control + sweets right now though.. I am going to have to work very hard to not eat the entire bag in like 2 sittings πŸ™‚

    What’s the status of your stash? I’ve never heard of these. I’ll have to check our local Target to see if they have them. (Did you used to eat the Justin’s kind? Maybe they’re not vegan and I made that up.)

    • kilax says:

      I still have a lot left. I think I’ve eaten 5 of them since I posted this. I shared a few though πŸ˜‰

      I used to eat Justin’s until they changed the ingredients and they now say they have milk products in them.
