re: Do Reese's peanut butter cups ever turn solid again after they melt a little bit?

shite I can’t breathe!

My favorite consumption technique is to remove the chocolate and leave a PB puck.

Yes, Baw. You are.

I guarantee you I'm not.

About 3.50 hours in the fridge and you will never regret your decision to get them back to enjoyable.

It's bad enough that I was eating them just because they're there. I should have thrown them straight in the trash regardless, and them being nasty looking makes that easier to do.


I had no idea it was so common to put Reese's in the fridge. You people have problems.

I figured it happens, but I didn't think it would be so common. I thought about doing it before posting here, but then I realized that's fricking ridiculous and I threw it away.

Have you never been to a decent candy/chocolate store?

---

No, I can't say that I have. And chances are I never will.

quote:

I’ve seen refrigerated candy at convenience stores.

Well that makes sense considering once melted they will never congeal again at room temp.

But my house is not a candy or convenience store.

quote:

---

There are candy/chocolate stores in malls. This isn’t some kind of elitist thing.

---

I didn't mean to imply that it was. I just meant candy isn't my thing, and I never buy it. I'll eat a little bit of whatever we get for free from halloween and parades, but if it's melted it goes in the trash.

quote:

Some people prefer cold candy bars. Chewy. Think 3 Musketeers.

---

I understand, and I know there's lots of ice cream and candy bar hybrids. Again, not my thing.

quote:

---

Of course not. But putting some candy in the freezer isn’t a big deal. And based on comments here it is you that is the strange one.

Which is cool. Just own it.

---

I see that, consider it owned. I don't mind being the strange one if it means there's no candy in my refrigerator.

I get it.

I’m just surprised you haven’t walked into one w your wife or kids.

Right.

Again, I’m not judging your choices. Just surprised at what you haven’t noticed.

But, I’m clueless on other things. Just what we notice I guess.

I would risk getting shot just to put some fricking candy in your frig.

Like I want to do it daily. Lol

quote:

It just seems weird that you'd make the effort to make a thread about melted candy but would be so inexplicably dead-set against doing the most obvious and effortless task of opening the fridge and placing the piece of candy inside.

---

I see that. Let me explain.

I don't like eating candy, it makes me feel sick. But if it's there, I'm going to eat some. Immediate but temporary pleasure that I pay for later. The vast majority of the candy that enters my house ends up at my wife's work for her coworkers to eat. If it's not going to be alright at room temp, it's not going to her work. And I'm damn sure not going to try to restore a melted reese's cup to its former glory in the fridge, or preserve any of the others for another day.


That said, it's still disappointing to open one and find it melted. But I'll take that as a sign that I shouldn't eat it now or ever.

I get that. There are several foods that I cannot eat without experiencing nausea and pain, and occasionally I cannot help myself; I indulge and have a moment's pleasure in exchange for later suffering.

Just to play devil's advocate, if you know there will be moments where you'll indulge, wouldn't you want to maximize your pleasure to pain ratio? If candy is, say, 2x as good out of the fridge, wouldn't it make sense to eat it that way so you get twice the pleasure out of being sick that once?
