Reese’s Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers
In celebration of National Peanut Butter Lovers Day (which was 4 weeks ago), Reese’s has introduced a new Reese’s Cup that’s balls-to-the-wall peanut butter. Inside is the same Reese’s peanut butter you know and love. Outside is an exclusively peanut-butter-flavored shell.
That’s right, the entire thing is peanut butter.
A couple of years ago, Reese’s tried to help settle the debate about the ideal ratios of peanut butter-to-chocolate by introducing Reese’s Peanut Butter Lovers and Reese’s Chocolate Lovers. For the Chocolate Lovers, they used a thicker chocolate shell and a slightly dark milk chocolate. For the Peanut Butter Lovers, a portion of the outer shell was peanut butter confection, but there was still some chocolate.
Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers, however, is unapologetically peanut butter, and doesn’t give a f*ck who knows it.
If you’re thinking, “BuT IsN’T tHiS JuSt PeAnUt BuTtEr?”, sure… but it’s not like they just plopped some peanut butter from the jar on some brown sheets and wrapped it in plastic (although, I would probably buy that too). The outside is a peanut-butter flavored shell with the same texture as the typical chocolate shell, and the inside is the signature, extra-sweet peanut butter that makes a Reese’s a Reese’s.
Basically they found ways to make peanut butter more fun and then combined them.
I know what else you might be thinking – that a Reese’s without chocolate isn’t a Reese’s. Listen, I GET IT, but you’re just going to have to trust me on this. Reese’s Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers is fantastic, and it still tastes like a Reese’s.
The outside peanut butter shell kind of tastes like peanut butter fudge, but instead of being dense and chewy, it has the same light and “crispy” bite as the Reese’s milk chocolate shell. You totally feel and experience the transition from outer shell to the softer, creamy peanut butter inside, which is where the sweet & salty hits overdrive. It’s a real doozy of peanut buttery goodness, and is easily the best PB-centric candy I’ve ever eaten.
A Reese’s without chocolate might sound like a cheeseburger without cheese, but this cheeseburger rules.
Burning Questions:
- Are you also eating a cheeseburger right now? Maybe…
- Are you? Yes.
- Do you like this more than a regular Reese’s? I might!
