I will edit the post to make the important clarification of “Creme” rather than “Cream”!

Banana flakes.

gah.

Awesome pics! As a banana person, the problem was that the cookie cup had no balance. It smelled of banana, but it still overwhelmingly tasted like a peanut butter cup. Somewhat disconcerting. The King would not have approved. Of course, the King would have likely wanted bacon bits studded on top and the whole thing fried in a stick of butter, which likely would have greatly reduced the peanut butter-banana creme cup’s already limited appeal.

And, to be precise, the package clearly states “creme,” which to my mind is not Hershey’s way of being French and fancy but it’s way of communicating that there’s no actual cream anywhere near this product. In fact, the most horrifying detail of our whole experiment was that the package’s ingredients list, way down in the 2% or less category, included something called “banana flakes.” Ick.
