Oh Yes they do!

I discovered the Kirkland bag of mini PB cups during my aimless pass through the candy aisle. A trip-maker indeed.

They're the foil-wrapped kind. A lot like the Sam's brand at Wal-Mart if you've had those.

Not cheap, (although I've noticed prices aren't kind on a lot of stuff these days) 19,500 for a 60oz bag, but well worth the occasional splurge.

On a related note, I'd like to announce my summer diet is suspended until further notice. Wink

What's 60oz in grams/kg? Big?

Those kirkland ones okay if you're jonesing, but not really up to Reeses standards though, right?

^ 1.7kg, quite big.
As for standards, I find them to be on par with the Reeses. Although I'm sure there's connoisseurs out there who would disagree. Wink

The bag is huge. I put on 3 kg weight from that 1.7 kg bag.

Just got me some of these bad boys. This is from the Costco in Daejeon. Really expensive IMO but worth it.

I like how this topic is listed right next to "weight loss support group".

Did they have a "waxy" consistency?

I ain't like me no waxy PB cup (written such to piss off English teachers everywhere).

Ahhh it's sad to hear that they have these here. I heard of the lack of peanut butter cups and brought them from home!

I feel for you, D7. My grade 3 students write much better than that.

That isn't bad for someone that rode the short bus like KN.

I almost bought them last week until I read the Korean label on the back: it says the whole bag has over 9,000 calories Shocked I can't be trusted with such a large quantity of anything so calorically dense.
