    A good few Spar shops have them.

    Also Reese's Nutrageous bars, which are heavy going.

    Reeses cups are among the only US chocolate i like. I hate hersheys, cooking chocolate tastes better... and fresher!

    However if cadbury or some other European did reeses cups, can you imagine the chocolate peanutbutter heaven? yummm..

    Reeses pieces are great though.. like m&m's but with peanutbutter instead of chocolate.

    Ye I think the Spar on O'Connell St. have them...? I reckon I've seen them in a Spar in town.

    I think I saw them in Topshop as well on sale near the counter.

    And if you go to Canada, you can get Dairy Milk peanut butter...say no more...

    Ugh. When I was in the US, I bit in to one of those, and had to spit it out.

    I agree, anyway years ago there were nice peanut bars, jusy made from peanuts held together by a kind of hard sweet stuff, lovely stuff.

    Also the peanut cookies are also heavy going, but i am a big peanut butter fan

    They sell them a lot of places in England. I think they have a factory here. They're about the same prices as any other confectionary.

    They don't have a factory here. It's all imported from the states and distributed by the same company that distributes kinder and wrigleys

    *BUMP* There's a newsagent on Westmoreland Street that always has them. NOT the great big dirty Londis with all the beer cans in the windows but further down. Sorry I can't remember which shop it is, but if you want them enough you'll look. Westmoreland Street's about as central as you'll get.

    Mind you after my initial love affair with the cups I've realised that they're *ridiculously* salty. Now the inside-out ones... that's a whole other story.

    You can get them in Nolans Supermarket in Clontarf along with Orios and Hershey's and lots of American stuff. Very yummy!
