Summary

Walnut Creek Chocolate Co Inc has recalled approximately 32,100 units of various peanut butter chocolate treats and fudge products, including those under the Jason & Mary and Dutch Delight brands. The recall covers products distributed in 29 states and includes a wide range of items such as peanut butter cups, fudge samplers, and gift boxes.
