Reeses seems to be getting bigger in the UK, I think Cadbury are missing a trick if they don't bring out something peanut buttery soon

I imagine they think it won't sell. I'm sure they have peanut butter products in the US so it's not that.

Peanut butter and chocolate sounds sickly to me - though I'd have them separately

Cadbury Starbar is a peanut butter product:-
https://www.cadbury.co.uk/products/Starbar-2348?p=2348 ETA I always thought this had peanut butter in it but reading the descriptions I'm not so sure! It always tasted like peanut butter

If you go into Tescos they have at least in my local a section for American sweets. Little more expensive then a normal sweet/bar but it's worth checking out

I seem to remember peanut butter just isn't an adequately liked flavour in the UK to justify bringing in more commercial products that are based on it.
You get peanut butter Subway cookies in the US, for example, but not here because they wouldn't sell. I mean it's not even like it's always that easy to find Reeses Peanut Butter cups. I don't like them myself but I remember traipsing all over town one afternoon to find them for an ex. Finally found them in just one corner shop! |

It's because peanut butter is abhorrent

Its strange though because other companies are making peanut butter work.
Ben and Jerrys have their peanut butter me up and peanut butter cup ice creams and both of those seem to do well? |

We have different tastes. I have had reeves before but the chocolate taste wrong and the peanut is far too smooth.
To a lot of people outside the USA American chocolate tastes utterly foul and they even make their peanut butter very sweet (they can't help but add stuff to stuff including palm oil!). I also think we Brits like to have a crunch of actual peanuts in our choc bars (and other whole nuts). Also in the UK we seem not to fixate on just peanut butter or pecans whereas the US seems very "smooth peanut butter" focused for some reason |
