Reese’s is the ultimate American candy icon, loved by kids and grown-ups alike! 🍫🥜 Originally introduced in 1928, the classic Peanut Butter Cup—rich milk chocolate wrapped around creamy peanut butter—remains the brand’s most popular treat. Found by Harry Burnett Reese in his basement workshop, Reese’s was built on a friendship with Milton Hershey and the use of high-quality Hershey’s milk chocolate from day one. After Reese passed away, his family sold the company to Hershey’s, making Reese’s a proud Hershey subsidiary. Reese’s Pieces joined the lineup in 1982 when Steven Spielberg’s movie “E.T.” gave them superstar status. 🎬🍬 Mars (M&M’s maker) passed on the product placement, but Hershey’s said “yes” and even invested NULL million in marketing. The gamble paid off—sales soared by 60%! Today, Reese’s offers endless chocolate + peanut butter combos: white chocolate, dark chocolate, thin & thick PB layers—you name it! Special limited editions pop up for holidays, and Reese’s reign supreme as Halloween’s favorite treat. 🎃 Ready to find your perfect chocolate & peanut butter match? Dive in and enjoy!
