It was only later that the cups became popular enough to sell on their own. Yes, you read that right. Both sugar and chocolate were rationed during the war, which made it tough for candy companies to keep up with the demand for sweets. Luckily for Reese's, peanut butter was never rationed, which lead Reese to use automated production when making his peanut butter cups.
Reese's decided to scrap the rest of their candy, and devote all their efforts towards producing peanut butter cups. The rest is history.
That's a lot of peanut butter. Remember that scene in E. Well, Reese's was actually never supposed to make an appearance in the movie. Too bad. Mars got the short end of the stick on this one, and Hershey's came out on top. Sales of Reese's Pieces skyrocketed after their appearance on the big screen, and it's all thanks to a shy, little alien lured out of the shadows by a trail of peanut butter candy in a crunchy shell. These Oreos had half Reese's peanut butter filling and half chocolate filling.
Unfortunately, all you can find today are Oreos with regular peanut butter filling. These Oreos were limited edition, and are no longer available. The Hershey Co. And once we realized how beastly that line was, we did what any sane adults would: hunkered down, ate them all, ranked them, and then passed out. There's a lot to consider when ranking these things, especially because many of them are just slight variations on the original cup.
So the only way to do this is to get nitpicky. Like, real nitpicky. Which product provides the perfect bite? Which shape is more visually appealing?
Which one hits you with the perfect peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio? However, there is something much more sinister going on here.
These Pink Hearts, instead of using skim milk for the chocolate, use lactose milk. Whatever is happening to the lactose through the process of cooking, making chocolate, and adding the color makes it Reese's least lovable candy. White chocolate is a nightmare. This is a medical fact. Take it up with science. Peanut Butter Cups and Pumpkins are basically the exact same thing. 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.
Truly the only difference is one is shaped like a pumpkin, and the other is shaped like a… cup? Ghosts only come in white chocolate, which I like. I appreciate that a lot.
It gives the Ghosts more of an authentic feel to it than the other white chocolate products. Ghosts get the edge over the classic Cups and Pumpkins. As you will see below, my love of Miniatures is strong. So it's a testament to how much I despise white chocolate that these things are ranked in between Ghosts and Minis.
But you would never get something like that confused. Very solid. 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. Not to belabor the point, but white chocolate is an abomination. Seems like a great idea, right? Mini cups, Pieces, peanuts, and pretzels in a trail mix-style format? I really like the idea behind this. The problem, however, is that the peanuts are weak.
How does a company famous for peanut-based products have such mediocre peanuts? Listen to me, and listen well. Sorry for yelling. Back to the matter at hand. I remember loving them a lot. Weird, right? I could have sworn they were half peanut butter, half chocolate.
But nope. Without the chocolate, you're misremembering they fall supremely flat. The thicker and crunchier shell makes a difference though, and sort of evens out the peanut butter. As with the rest of the Pieces, though, they need some chocolate to fully balance things out. Remember Buncha Crunch? A white chocolate product so much higher than the others? When I first tried one of these little dudes, I was pleasantly surprised.
Simply, this monster is too big. The thing is gigantic, but only encased in a very thin layer of chocolate. Now look, I eat lots of garbage.
As you can see, I literally do it for a living. A mound of chocolate and peanut butter bigger than your palm is no small undertaking. If so, it would take a minimum of two people to eat, but mostly likely three or four.
None of this really matters as much as the other glaring problem, though, which is the ratio. This thing is absolutely overwhelmed by chocolate. At the end of the day, this thing is a gigantic chocolate heart with some peanut butter in the middle. Get it for the novelty if you must. The 6-ounce Egg has more or less the same design and construction of a Miniature Egg, but is about 10 times the size.
The thin-on-the-top-thick-on-the-bottom setup works extremely well in the small ones, but when you blow it up this big it fails. The ratio is a lot better too, with a much bigger portion of peanut butter: In fact they almost seemed to have used the exact same amount for both sizes, which goes to show how hard the 8 ounce is skimping. The issue, unfortunately, is that this is still way too big of a portion for any reasonable person.
The 5-ounce Reester Bunny is very similar to the 5-ounce Heart, but it has a couple of advantages going for it. For starters, Reese has given us the gift of an actual specific character. Secondly, the PB consistency is a lot more normal. I love dark chocolate. However, this dark chocolate is a snoozefest. The chocolate itself seems to ride a weird supernatural line between being boring yet far too rich. How did they achieve that? Bells sort of taste like a Miniature Cup that had a bunch more chocolate packed around it to form the shape of a bell.
These are good. Truly bite size. This means that A each one has a lot less flavor because of its tiny little size, and B the likelihood of overeating is a lot higher. This product is all over the map. In my opinion, they are bigger than the original cups which means only one thing As if I need any more in my system. I mean, if I eat 4 or 5 , maybe 6 or 7 , I'm only celebrating Easter the right way!
Great excuse, Intern Kali, great excuse! You know the rigged edges on the original PB cups?? Those are always interrupting how creamy the chocolate and PB combo is because the edges are always harder than the content inside the cup.
But, with the eggs, everything is smooth Those black inside wrappers on the cups are always a PAIN. One less thing to worry about! Usually when the chocolate-pb eggs are back in stores, it gets me so hyped for warmer weather because that's a sign that summer is around the corner!!
