If you love chocolate and you love peanut butter, then you’ve probably had a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup – the perfect blend of peanut-ty, and chocolate-y flavors combined in a short, muffin-like package. As a child, I grew up with the Original Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Since then, Hershey’s has launched a few more ways to eat the great Reese’s flavors. They now offer not only the original Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, but also a Dark Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, the Reese’s Big Cup, Reese’s Pieces, and many more types of Reese’s.
We had the opportunity to try the original and Dark Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, a Reese’s Big Cup, Reese’s Pieces, and a Reese’s Crispy Crunchy. It was hard to choose a favorite between the different types of Reese’s products because they were all so good.
- First up, was the Reese’s Big Cup – since we only had one, we decided to do rock, paper, scissors to determine who would get to eat the big one. Having that extra bit of peanut butter was worth fighting for!
- I loved the twist to the cup that came with the dark chocolate. I was surprised that the dark chocolate flavor was so distinct in the Dark Chocolate Reese’s cup while still blending well with the peanut butter flavor.
- The other testers quickly gobbled up the original Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, which has the tried and true combination of milk chocolate and peanut butter.
- I think that the Reese’s pieces are my favorite, though. I love the convenience of the tiny pieces that you can just keep pop, pop, popping in your mouth.
- They don’t have chocolate but the peanut butter flavor is wonderful as a stand-alone flavor. Finally, there’s the Crispy Crunchy, which is a chocolate covered, crispy bar of peanut butter, peanuts, and peanut butter candy.
To celebrate America’s love for it’s number 1 selling candy bar, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups is trying to make May 18th I Love Reese’s Day.

I love regular ol' Reese's Peanut Butter Cups the best. It really is two great tastes that taste great together. I have to stop myself from eating too many of them when we buy a bag.

I like them all but my favorite is the regular Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
