Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are number one on the list of top-selling candy brands! The classic, mouth-watering candy consists of a chocolate cup filled with peanut butter. And Americans love them so much that they will do basically anything with them. From baking them into pies and mixing them into cocktails, to even stuffing them into burgers!
But do you also know how the yummy snack was first invented? Hint: it wasn’t an accidental collision of a man’s chocolate in a boy’s peanut butter jar!
If you’ve ever tried one, then you probably already know that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are absolutely... delicious! They are number one on the list of top-selling candy brands. And they’re Reese’s flagship product.

@HeatherSpoonheim Год назад

If you want to make a 'modern' Reese's Peanut Butter Cup - I've stolen the perfect recipe from a former workmate, Joc. For the filling, he mixes equal volumes of regular peanut butter, icing sugar, and graham crumbs. Form it into logs the diameter of a quarter and freeze them. From this you can slice thick coins of 'filling'. For the chocolate, you need to slowly melt good semi-sweet baker's chocolate, or baker's milk chocolate - no higher than 32 C. Pour some chocolate into muffin cups, press in the coins of filling, and pour a little more chocolate to cover. It takes some practice to get them consistent, but they'll be the best peanut butter cups you've had since the 80's.

When God told humans to be fruitful and multiply, Mr. Reese literally took it seriously. He had 16 kids! Wow

I wonder if he was a Christian…that’s what they brainwash followers and women into…pumping out kids.

Reese's is legit one of the best candy ever made.

I just hope those brothers helped out their sisters the ones that were left out of the will.

They are my favorite but I think when a company gets to big things can go wrong! I'm not sure why when I lived in the PA, NY ,NJ area they always tasted great!!! But recently in Arizona I purchased some Reese cups they were so sweet like 3X what they should be!!! I had to throw it out. 😮 I don't know if they outsource manufactureig for different markets like most domestic beer is? But someone fell asleep at the sugar controls .

I had a bag once that said, Made In Mexico. Most of the time it just say's distributed by the hershey company. Doesn't say where they are actually made. At least I know Mallow Cups are still made in Altoona Pa.

With so many jobs and working all the time makes me wonder if all 16 are DNA replicas. Either way he shows how hard work and determination makes the difference in what is accomplished. Now I have to make a run to the store for some Reese's!!

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the nectar of the gods! Not one of the variations has ever surpassed the wonderfulness of the originals! But all are beyond great!

Disgusting story. Had so many kids for no reason then left his money only to the sons. Ridiculous.

@applescruff88 Год назад

Left his daughters out of the will? Okay, now I'll never look at this man and the candy the same way again. Hope his sons knew better to share the fortune..

@batyahisraelayasharahla3538 Год назад

Exactly ! Still my fave candy

@schechter01 Год назад

There had to be some family politics going on... The video said Reese had a large family. It didn't say everyone got along with each other.

You can't trust women with business and money. They'll sell the business to buy shoes.

In the 70s/ 80s i grew up nearby and we would sell pb cups as fundraisers for our school trips. There's nothing like getting them fresh from the factory. The bottoms would be greasy and they sank a bit in the middle. They were SO yummy that most of us ended up eating so much of our product (ie, we were our own biggest customers! ) I've moved away and have never had them that fresh again 😔

Reece cups are one of my favorites. I have a bag of them in the fridge. They last longer and I like them cold.

About 20 years ago I got into a conversation with someone in a very nice cigar and scotch bar in Denver. He said something about their company buying a candy company in Farmington, NM and I replied, "Oh, Yeah. Y&S Candies." He asked how I knew that and I explained that I had been a news reporter and put the story on TV. He introduced himself. He was one of Harry Reese's grandsons. We talked about the Reese business for a long time and I heard the story of the peanut butter cup from him. His grandfather and Mr. Hershey were friends as he told the story. He was still involved in the management of the Reese's division of Hershey.
