Yummm Reeses

Ok, Reeses has to be one of the most popular candies out there. That probably explains why there are so many new 'limitied editions' versions of the stuff. I admit that although I am a huge peanut butter fan, I am not always in the mood for one. However, when that craving hits, oh man it's intense.
One day I discovered a combo completely by accident that tastes just like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup! And the ingredients are (drumroll please) Quaker Chocolate Mini Quakes and Natural Peanut Butter.... but refrigerated. (for some reason that makes a HUGE difference) Just take a quake and spread as much or as little pb as you so desire, refrigerate, and eat! Nutritional information obviously depends on how much peanut butter you use, but I think (I have to admit it's been a little while since I've made these) I've used 1 tbsp for 4 quakes. That's about 130 calories for FOUR treats whereas with a Reeses it's 140 for ONE. I'll let you do the math.
Anyway, I am really curious what anybody else thinks of this "invention". Yummy and like a Reeses, or do you think I'm delusional and this doesn't even come close to replicating that creamy goodness created by Hershey's?
