Reese's Pieces have no chocolate in them. The peanuts had their oil pressed out and a cheaper fat put back in.
Sugar is first, then partially defatted peanuts, then hydrogenated palm kernel and soybean oil, then corn syrup solids. Everything after that is 2% or less, and it's the dyes, the glaze, some vanillin and a little milk. There's no cocoa anywhere.
Partially defatted just means the peanuts went through a press. The peanut oil comes out one side and gets sold as peanut oil. What's left is a dry peanut flour, and that's what the center is made from, because flour holds a shape in a panning drum and doesn't go rancid. Then they put fat back in, and the fat they picked is hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which is solid at room temperature and costs less than peanut oil. You can see the swap on the panel. 38 pieces have 6 g of fat and all 6 are saturated. Peanut oil is mostly unsaturated, so that number isn't the peanut.
The shell is sugar with 4 dyes and a coat of shellac.
Authorities are still solving murders committed by Ted Bundy. The latest was in Utah. apnews.com/article/ted-bundy…
I could only muster the half. The chocolate milk was worth it.

Some pretty pointed comments from Sonny Gray about when he was pulled. Very emotional.
Made a point to highlight how good he's been the 3rd time through the order.
I'm always learning.
Slim Jim is made with mechanically separated chicken. The ingredients are beef, pork, mechanically separated chicken, water and textured soy flour, then corn syrup and salt.
Mechanically separated chicken is what's left on the bones after the meat has been cut off. The bones are pushed through a sieve under high pressure, and the meat still stuck to them comes out as a smooth paste. USDA allows it, but it has to be listed by that name. The textured soy flour stretches the meat and holds water.

@USATODAY is cutting resources from newsrooms like @detroitnews while expecting more from us. They still refuse to agree to a fair contract.
It's time for the company to agree to a fair contract and show they actually value journalists, not just shareholders.
Not a typical line in a newspaper campaign endorsement. "She is mentally stable, and in this race, that's enough to get our endorsement," @DetNewsOpinion says in Michigan's 8th congressional district.

My family is in a worse financial position since @usatoday bought @detroitnews because of increased health insurance costs.
We are back at the bargaining table today. Time for USAT to show they value journalists - not just shareholders - by agreeing to a fair contract.

@FOX2News Mike Rogers held a campaign event today in Macomb County. We attended, and our reporter, Scott Wolcheck, was not called on during the Q&A. This is what happened when we tried to talk to his media team about getting one-on-one time with Rogers. Multiple FOX 2 reporters and anchors have tried to get in touch with Rogers and his campaign, but time with the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate has not been made available.

All smiles and ready to stand together! We're gearing up to head back to the bargaining table for a fair contract that ensures we can keep producing Pulitzer-winning journalism. Watch the web for updates 🗞️

Yesterday, McClatchy laid off more than 90 unionized media workers across 17 publications.
The departure of these talented reporters, visual journalists & writers will immediately leave gaping holes in local coverage for dozens of communities across the US.

A beautiful obit for Vin Cherwoo. I will never forget spending Christmas Eve together finalizing bargaining on the AP contract. He never complained how long the work took, he was always there to serve apnews.com/article/vin-cherw…
