Nips, a brand purchased by international chocolatier Nestle in 1989, have been around since the 1920s. These milk-infused caramels are long-lasting and absolutely delicious, in flavors like butter rum, coffee, mocha, and dulce de leche. Chocolate Parfait and Peanut Butter Parfait have a silky “parfait?? center that melts in your mouth, making the treat truly irresistible. It’s easy to eat one after another, after another. The round, individually wrapped caramels are easy to toss in a candy jar or in your bag.

Peanut Butter Parfait Nips have an interesting consistency—if a Werther’s hard candy and a soft caramel chew produced offspring, this would be it. Nips have a smooth caramel shell that is harder than a chewy candy, but not as soft as the caramels you’d use to melt over caramel apples. Inject a dose of creamy peanut-butter flavor into the center, and you’ll discover all the peanut-buttery goodness after the candy dissolves in your mouth. A 5.5-ounce box of Nips provides a few dozen of these premium candies at a discount-store price. Variety bags are also tempting for candy lovers who can’t make up their minds. Also available in sugar free, Nips are enjoyable to a variety of candy lovers.

I had a middle school teacher who always kept Nips on hand and would occasionally reward her students occasionally with one of these candies. This only happened semi-regularly—my theory is that she just really didn’t want to let them go. Now that my middle school days are long gone and I’ve graduated to adulthood, I can buy my own bag of Nips and chomp on them all day long. But, they always tasted better coming from Mrs. Price’s candy jar. If you try any kind of Nips, try the Peanut Butter Parfait. They are by far the most fulfilling variety that’s just so creamy and different from what other candy brands bring to the table. Pop one in and let it dissolve your cares away.
