PB & J's Strawberry







Place purchased: Walgreen's

Number of reviewers: 4


Appearance - 6.0


There are eight wrapped pieces in the box. Each piece is divided into four segments. The chocolate is filled with a thick layer of peanut butter on the bottom and a thin layer of brown colored jelly. 

L: I didn't like the wrapping. It looks like old school Batman. 


Flavor and Taste - 2.5


The strawberry jam is sweet and has a floral flavor rather than strawberry. There is not much of a peanut butter flavor. Also, the chocolate tastes very cheap. 

C: Bad quality chocolate. Strawberry and peanut flavors not very pronounced. Weird floral off flavor.
L: It's just sweet, gross, floral. Kinda peanut at the end. 
S: Tastes like clove and really floral. Didn't really taste the peanut butter. 


Texture - 3.0


There were waxy, chewy pieces in the filling.

L: Waxy/chewy. 
S: Has some crunchy, waxy pieces inside. 


Aftertaste - 4.3


The aftertaste was mainly sweet. 

C: Waxy off-flavor stays.
L: Weird peanut flavor. 
S: Not much. Floral.


Overall - 2.9

This PB & J bar tastes like neither peanut butter nor strawberry jam.

Justin's White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Justin's white chocolate peanut butter cups are a limited edition product only available at Whole Foods. The product line permanently includes milk and dark chocolate peanut butter cups. 






Place purchased: Whole Foods

Number of reviewers: 4


Appearance - 7.1


The white wrapper is representative of all Justin's peanut butter products. The smooth peanut butter is surrounded by a thick, off-white white chocolate shell. 

L: Looks like a Kashi bar. 
S: Kind of boring.


Flavor and Taste - 5.5


The peanut butter is very salty. The white chocolate adds sweetness without overpowering the peanut butter. 

C: Salty. 
L: Too salty. Otherwise, fine. 
S: Really salty.


Texture - 6.3


The white chocolate is hard and breaks into large pieces when bitten. The peanut butter is slightly gritty from salt granules mixed into the peanut butter. 

C: Good mouthfeel.
S: Feels like it has salt pieces in it. 


Aftertaste - 5.5


The peanut butter imparts a salty aftertaste. 

C: Really salty aftertaste.
L: Can't describe. Off.


Overall - 5.7

The white chocolate peanut butter cups are mediocre. The peanut butter was too salty. Also, the white chocolate was too hard and does not add flavor to the product. I have previously tried Justin's milk and dark chocolate peanut butter cups (sorry, no review, this was before I started this blog), and I remember them being better than the white chocolate peanut butter cups.
