Comparing The Top 5 Sugarless Peanut Butter Cups vs Reece’s Minis
The peanut butter cup is a true American chocolate candy sensation. That sweet, slightly chunky, peanut butter filling surrounded by a solid shell of chocolate. Everybody loves the Reece’s iconic original cup. For low carb snacks it is available in a sugar-free mini cup. Let’s compare it to some other sugarless peanut butter cups that are made by the top brands available in stores and online. I have brought them together for a comparison for taste, style and value.
Available all over. These sugarless versions of the great original are just like the sugar sweetened version in taste and texture. A very sweet chocolate and filling combo. The chocolate is a bit like wax in texture and feel. The filling is slightly less sweet.
Russel Stover’s Milk Chocolate
Widely available. This is a thin hard shell with not much flavor. The filling is sweet enough but is like a dried up and pasty. It’s not on par with their other sugarless candies. The shell has a wax-like appearance and feel.
Choc Zero Dark Chocolate
Available online, with the link on this post. This is a quality chocolate with a balance of cocoa taste and sugariness. The filling is soft as frosting. It’s like a peanut butter truffle.
The rich cocoa chocolate shell is sweeter than 60% raw cocoa bars. They have high quality, full flavored peanut butter. It tastes a bit like it was blended with hazel nut, almond, or other top quality natural nut butter.
Sweetened Just With Monk Fruit and Natural Flavors
No added sugar. No Soybean or palm oil. Not alcohol sugars. Safe for Keto diet.
SkinnyMe Belgian Chocolate
Available in some stores and online. The tough chocolate shell is for the rich cocoa taste lover. Let it melt in your mouth and the chocolate becomes sweeter and fuller flavored. It has a lot of body when you bite it or let it melt. The robust chocolate is accented with a contrasting sweet nutty filling. The filling is secondary to the flavor balance. The filling is textured like pressed powder, not oily at all. It has a high quality nut taste like it was made from artisan peanuts or a higher value nut like hazelnut.
Lily’s Dark Chocolate
Available in stores. The crunchy chocolate shell is the thickest of all these samples and notably sweeter than the previous cups. It has a lot of body when you melt it in your mouth. It dissolves very slowly. The creamy soft peanut butter inside is sweet and nutty. This is the 3rd sweetest candy I tested.
Choc Zero Milk Chocolate
This has sweeter chocolate. So it is the closest rival to Reece’s in terms of sweetness. The sweet, hot cocoa flavor shell is a bit thin. It cracked up when cutting and biting, but it melts slowly into a sweet oily creme. The filing is soft, sweet, and very creamy. This makes for a pleasing munching experience whether you chew it or let it dissolve into sweet syrup. This is also what you will experience with their white chocolate peanut butter cups. Which is not included in this comparison. Just so you know, the white chocolate version has a very sweet chocolate shell like the Reece’s and the firm, nutty peanut filling used in their dark chocolate peanut butter cup.
So if you have a desire for something sweet without the sugar calories, I suggest you go with the Reece’s Sugar Free Minis and Choc Zero Milk Chocolate Cup.
For a more mature snacking experience you can try the SkinnyMe or Choc Zero Dark Chocolate Cup.
So that is the taste test and style comparison. Now let’s assess the overall value. Note that on per piece weight of Reece’s, I used 2 minis to match the weight per serving of the other non-mini peanut butter cups.
