According to the package this chocolate candy treat has been revived from an earlier version in the 1970′s. While I couldn’t verify that same information on the Natural Nectar site, it does say it’s a bigger cup with an improved recipe. Let’s find out what a Nectar Nugget Peanut Butter Cup tastes like.

Packaging
The bee is cute, it reminds me a lot of the Nasonex bee though. The style made me think it was from the Newman’s Own line, but after digging more into the Natural Nectar site we find that
“Natural Nectar… a growing line of all natural products created to enhance your life sustainably, conscienciously and ecologically. Harvesting wholesome essential ingredients from the Earth and crafting them into high quality products is the hallmark of our brand… and our commitment to our customers.”
Yeah, they misspelled conscientiously.
Appearance
The chocolate looked and felt very soft. The dusty/greasy sheen didn’t make me think good things either, however it is very nice and thick. The peanut butter layer isn’t shorting us either, though it smells like the peanut butter in a Palmer’s chocolate coin. I did wish for the paper wrapper like a Reese’s to keep my hands from being greasy.
Taste
The peanut butter taste is way better than a Palmer’s coin, despite the smell. It’s thick and coats my teeth in the way a spoonful of peanut butter should. The milk chocolate is the thick-eat-too-much-you’ll-feel-sick kind but definitely plays a background role to the peanut butter and is subtle, which is good because I don’t care for it.
Bottom line- it’s a great way to deliver peanut butter to your mouth. Would a spoon to the same thing? Yeah, but your mom will yell at you for eating out of the jar and jars aren’t travel friendly.

I wonder if this is a revamped version of one of my childhood favorites “nectar pie.” It had the same little bee on the package but I can’t find anything online about it. I may have to break down and buy one of these just to try it and see if it’s the same thing. They’re so expensive I haven’t bothered buying one yet.
