Reese's Pieces

Peanut Butter pieces in a chocolate coating. A bit different to M&M's Peanut Butter and will always creates a discussion about which is better!

Reese's cups were created in 1928 by H B Reese who actually started off as a foreman for Hersheys. After the popularity of these cups they ended up joining with Hersheys in 1963.

Reese's Pieces have been around for many decade. They are most famous recently due to a clever product placement marketing ploy in the ET film in the early 90s which saw a massive surge in their popularity. These were another of my imports from America costing just over £1.20 in total and are currently not available in the UK.

Reese's pieces are none to disimilar to smarties in appearance and size, though slightly smaller than the peanut butter M&Ms I reviewed in early January. These came in a handy 43g bag which was just the right amount; anymore and these probably would have been a little sickly.

The crispy outershell compliments the peanut butter well; the lack of chocolate certainly makes sure the flavours arent over complicated and the two flavour dynamic works well. One of my gripes with the Peanut Butter M&Ms was that the chocolate and sugar coating over powered the peanut butter taste but this is not the case with Reese's pieces and you are left with a strong aftertaste of peanut butter... YUM YUM!! :)

Overall a great product from Reese's which I highly reccommend; more so than the Peanut Buttter M&Ms which you may have gathered. These have a pride of place in the top 5 at present.
