Chocolate and peanut butter really do go well together.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups cruised to the title in the inaugural Sweet 16 Halloween Candy Tournament. Reese's edged M&M's 75% to 25% in the final.
Reese's road to the final started with a first-round victory against Snickers, which many thought could have been a final-round matchup. Twix didn't put up much of a fight in the second round and Reese's cruised in the semifinal against Hershey's Chocolate Bar.
