You already know what this tastes like, even if youve never had it. The ratios on these Mini bad boys ends up being about 50% peanut butter, 50% chocolate. Theyre not even really a Halloween thing. A party in a bag that has something for everyone for your next event. Snack on a lot.
Im a big fan of a crunchy element thrown into Reeses, and here in the Big Cups theyve given me the biggest pieces of Crunchy Cookie yet.
More dark chocolate helps a bit, but it still cant help the dark stuff rise to the top.
While the flavor combination went over well with consumers, the packaging didn't. Peanut Butter Cups and Pumpkins are basically the exact same thing.
Or a bat? But nope.
In 2019, the brand brought the bright orange wrapper back.
These are more bitter than a classic Reese's, so you really have to be a dark chocolate fan to find them better than the original. Some of the first advertisements for Reese's claimed they were "peanutritious," as in somewhat good for you.
However, this dark chocolate is a snoozefest.
This would be like if somebody made you a burrito but decided to put all the salsa at the very bottom. Get it for the novelty if you must. Big whiff on these Eyeballs, Reese. The peanut butter inside is a bit creamier in general (like the Miniature Hearts), but it gets lost in the massive amount of chocolate. The bottom layer is insanely thick, and since youre not biting straight into it, its just too much. While these are all ways I could describe myself, I am in this case referring to the majesty that is the Take 5 bar. Reeses really makes an 8-ounce candy. No, you didnt misread that. In this case, the Pieces provide that crunch Im looking for. There is nothing wrong with the regular-sized Reeses Eggs. No doubt the first thing you think of when you hear the Reeses name. Not to belabor the point, but white chocolate is an abomination. Now look, I eat lots of garbage. Truly the only difference is one is shaped like a pumpkin, and the other is shaped like a cup? The problem, however, is that the peanuts are weak.
Theres nothing wrong with this candy.
Come along for the ride!
You will learn as we move forward that I am quite fond of the Miniature Cups. I did a blind bite test, and aside from the spiked edges, I was getting the same amount of chocolate and peanut butter in each bite. In fact, most of Reese's holiday shapes its second bestselling product after classic Reese's cups also come in white.
Its almost like Reese knew his Nutrageous bar was missing something, because he decided to throw full-size Pieces on that sonuvabitch and the whole thing cruised to new levels. Introduced in 2002, this Reese's product stands out because it has a layer of nougat. It looks just like (and has the same consistency of) the top of a regular Cup, but the color is a beautiful caramel-beige and the flavor is somewhere between peanut butter and chocolate. The Reester Bunny makes his return with a line of smaller, much more appropriately portioned candies.
Well, here to answer your crunchy prayers and elevate the salty/sweet thing to new heights is Reeses Dipped Pretzels. Wrongo!
Lastly, you get to decapitate somebody when you section it off, which is always going to be a good time, kind of like the feeling you used to get when you bit off a Gummy Bears head. Salty, yet sweet! It also appeared on Dairy Queen's Blizzard menu and is still sometimes be featured as the chain's flavor of the month.
It was only a matter of time before Hershey's combined two of its bestselling candies.
Its basically like what a Butterfingers would taste like if somebody made it wrong.
They're truly out of this world.
Its clearly a collaboration with Hershey, so half of the credit is most certainly due in that direction. I did not expect the flavor experience that unfolded before me. There are two different kinds of full size Hearts -- one squat, one slender -- that are hard to differentiate, since they're similarly packaged.
Thats what eating a Reeses Miniature is. Synergy!
Heres something I expected to love.
Maybe if teeny tiny mini Reese's Pieces become a thing, Hershey's will come out with that mashup. Theres a truly unexpected aftertaste that sneaks up on you after about 10 seconds.
Unfortunately, despite a fairly sizable tree, the Pieces arent even whole themselves.
Eyeballs? But those who love them will never switch over to the larger, more chocolate-heavy M&Ms filled with peanut butter.
Serious Reese's aficionados aren't overly fond of the chocolate-to-peanut butter ratio in these giant cups. And I would like 10% of the profits, please. If youve clung to every highly opinionated word Ive written here, you know that adding a crunch factor has been huge in the new line of Peanut Butter Cups that Reeses has released over the past few years.
This thing is money. Theyre the October treat we all look forward to, the one we all deserve, the one we wait all year for and the ultimate king of all Halloween Reeses products.
Look, the Big Cup is a good piece of candy, but as far as the lineup of Reeses is concerned, its very middle-of-the-road.
Holy hell, these things are good.
Other than that, its about as plain and standard as it gets.
If youre in the mood for a Reeses Cup, theres pretty much no reason to reach for these.
We just live in it. How did they achieve that? You're probably seeing a trend here. If youre unfamiliar with the Take 5, five glorious heroes have gathered together, Avengers-style, to create the ultimate superhero team/candy bar: peanuts, pretzels, caramel, peanut butter, and chocolate.
Seems like a great idea, right? If you crack one of these sonsabitches open, you can legitimately scoop some out with your finger, which I consider to be one of the great joys of real peanut butter. The reason the Minis top the bill for the white chocolate products is because, since they are so small, each bite gives you the least amount of white chocolate. If that sounds good to you, its because it is good. It may be a surprise to even the most ardent Cuphead that Reese's candy line extends beyond 60 products, among them Pieces, bars, and cups of all sizes ranging from good to great. But who knows? The success in Buncha Crunch lies in the crunchiness of the rice, and Reeses Cruncher just dont give me enough of the crunch that I desire.
The eponymous crunch is lost. This thing is absolutely overwhelmed by chocolate.
It just doesnt work.
But that didn't stop the brand from coming out with Reese's Thins earlier this year.According to this infographic depicting every available size of Reese's cups, they're 40% thinner than regular cups. In a world of 1lb Bunnies and 8oz Hearts, its a breath of fresh air to have a normal, human being-sized portion. Anyway, these so called Cups are a lot more classic than Pumpkins, so they rank a bit better.
Reese has done here what hes been unable to do in his Cups stuffed Pieces and Cookies -- this is the ultimate Peanut Butter Cup.
Every bite or so, youll feel a small crunch in the back of your mouth, but its hardly satisfying. They first came out in May 2017, but you may remember the candy's predecessor: Reese's Crunchy Cookie featuring an entire cookie layer. You may be able to finish this on your own, but youre not going to be happy about it later. Another wonderful thing the Crme Eggs have going is that one is legitimately enough to satisfy you. (Back when Reese's Nutreageous debuted in 1994, you could still buy a candy bar for just 50 cents.). They feature a crispy wafer that's similar to what you'd expect to find in a Kit Kat.
From crunchy pieces and sticks to dark and white chocolate varieties, are 16 of the most beloved Reese's products you can probably find in your closest candy aisle and online.
The pretzel pieces are sizable, crunchy, and salty.
2020 has been, shall we say tricky, but the bombshell arrival of a new Reeses product has been one of the only rays of light all year.
They only add to the pleasant crunching experience. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were invented by Hershey's employee and father of 16 H.B.
Where the kid would take a bite and then say, And my mouth was like WOOAAAAAAHHH and he would be poorly green-screened in front of flowing chocolate and peanut butter rivers?
Behold, the ultimate leader in Cup crunchiness: the Cup with pretzels stuck inside.
But only a few things can rank supreme.
Nice work. This is a fine candy bar right here. They are a true stroke of genius. These are good.
A great idea all around, and a wonderful use for Pieces. Dont think I dont notice that, Reese. It gives the Ghosts more of an authentic feel to it than the other white chocolate products. Were getting there. You know damn well his name is Reese, and you know double damn well there aint no such thing as a peesie.
For peanut butter and chocolate purists, there might just be too much going on in this little package.
In fact, when Reese's Outrageous first came out in 2018, it sold out quickly. Our editors independently selected these items because we think you will enjoy them and might like them at these prices. I dont care.
A minordifference, but a crucial one.
Dont ever call Reese a quitter. Reese's Sticks are pretty much the skinnier candy version of Little Debbie's Nutty Bars. Bless up. Theyre quite long, and the chocolate is found in a very thin layer that coats the outside of the tree-shaped log.
Theyre made with Snyders, too. This wasnt just a one Tree issue; this happened in every single Tree I tasted.
Believe it or not, these are virtually indistinguishable from the regular Miniature Cups. Click here to learn more about Reeses University, the first and only confection-based institution of higher learning.
Everything about the Miniature Cup is flawless.
The thing is gigantic, but only encased in a very thin layer of chocolate. Those were sold in the 1990s.
Furthermore, it's 3 grams smaller and has an additional gram of fat. As far as the Eggs go, they have a thicker coating of white chocolate surrounding the edges than the classic cups, and that doesnt help them one bit.
The bag says SPOOKY on them.
