Ottawa Foodies

i dont know if they were all out or not when u were there but truffle treasures does in fact have the peanut butter cups in dark chocolate and they are phenomenal, :D:D

I've always loved this store. I simply can't get enough of the peanut butter cups or the truffles and am always impressed by the owner's commitment to using quality ingredients and making everything by hand. My favorite are the milk chocolate peanut butter cups. I think they're superb because when you're eating them, it's obvious that she uses the finest ingredients. The peanut butter tastes like peanut butter, the caramel - like real caramel and same for the chocolate. perfectly sweet. She obviously has incredibly high standards - they even make their own waffle cones. Super cool store. I buy my 12 year old these peanut butter cups for any special occasion - valentines, etc.. and he always insists on buying some for his friends. he thinks they are the best of the best.

I'm a sucker for peanut butter cups. Wifey had read a glowing review of these so we tried them. They were pretty good although, like the truffles from the same store, they were just too sweet. The peanut butter was smooth and tasty but the layer of caramel above it ruined the experience. The sweet peanut butter and the even sweeter Rolo-like caramel was almost sickly and made a dark chocolate shell mandatory. Too bad it was made with milk chocolate!

These are just awesome. If you like the Hershey (Reese) cups, but yearn for something made with superior chocolate then go try these. They offer both milk and dark versions; I think milk was $3 and dark was $4 per (very large) cup.
