Reese’s Follow-Up
Since I recently wrote about the Hazelnut Reese’s, and they just put up a huge billboard on one of my daily routes, I’ve had this candy on my mind for awhile now. I decided to pick up some peanut cups to be certain that these would be better. Unfortunately, it all happened so fast that there are no pics available.
I was at first confused that they’re labeled as “new” (The peanut ones). Since I’ve known Reese’s for so long, I didn’t think there was nothing new about these. However, after some thought, I realized that they are “new” because they are no longer the imported candies. Hershey’s has a plant nearby so now they’re making a local version of Reese’s.
The peanut reeses are significantly better than their hazelnut counterparts for a couple of reasons. First up, the texture; it’s creamy like we’d all expect from PB, and the flakes, although still somewhat alien, add a nice crunch. Taste is also improved; it’s still a bit sweet but more like the flavor we’ve grown to love.
Tasting this candy left me with even more doubts, and since I think there are some imported Reese’s candies at home, I might just turn this into a “trilogy” and do a side by side comparison of the local version of the peanut candy and the original.
Stay tuned.
