I am a dark chocolate aficionado from childhood!
Of course, I ate Hershey's ?Krackle - milk chocolate with rice krispies, mc w peanuts, etc during the Halloween candy runs, but then they had Special Dark Chocolate. It probably wasn't that dark, but in comparison...it was like..."Oooo", what's this?!
Graduated to Almond Joy, Butterfingers, Mounds, York, later Snickers, too, when the others weren't around.

Anyway, by my mid 30's Reeces PB cups were my usual thing, too.
Before Trader's there was Lindt Dark chocolate varieties!

When I started going to Trader's in my ?late 50's - some years in they came up with the dark choc/PB cups. Oooo!
Was a bit unusual at first, but not for long! 😄
