Reese's Cupcakes

The ones I liked as a kid as still my favorites as an adult.. reese’s peanut butter cups and snickers! Those are like gold and I would trade my other candy to get those! I also liked peanut m&ms, skittles, and pretty much any kind of chocolate bar. I LOVED twix pre gluten allergy.. sniffle sniffle :(
