The warm, rich, tasty and satisfying peanut butter/chocolate flavor combo manifests in consumable goodies that become classic (hey, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, hey).

We know chocolate's irresistible for many millions worldwide. But peanut butter's not far behind in popularity. It's a shame that the proteins and enzymes in peanut butter trigger (often severe) allergies in so many. For those of us who can consume PB and are curious about its appeal, Jon Krampner's "Creamy and Crunchy" book gives a fun, historical breakdown.  

This short list features delectable peanut butter & chocolate snacks, spreads, cereal, protein bars and granola to buy and try at Target:
