Holiday Cheer Grows Here

The signature REESE'S peanut butter experience starts with carefully selected peanuts sourced from trusted suppliers in the United States. The peanuts are roasted to develop the flavor and texture that make REESE'S treats instantly recognizable. The roasted peanuts are then ground and blended with salt, sugar, and other ingredients in precise ratios to create the rich, peanut-forward filling used in REESE'S products. Like every Hershey recipe, each ingredient has a purpose and earns its place in delivering the taste, texture and quality consumers expect.

Before peanuts are used in production, experts evaluate them against strict quality and food safety standards. They assess characteristics such as appearance, flavor, freshness, and consistency to help ensure only the highest-quality ingredients are used.

Hershey sources peanuts from trusted suppliers here in the United States who meet the company's rigorous quality and food safety standards. These partnerships help ensure the peanuts used in REESE'S treats consistently deliver the flavor and quality consumers expect.

Throughout the manufacturing process, quality teams conduct multiple checks to help ensure products meet Hershey's standards. These evaluations can include ingredient quality, flavor, texture, appearance, packaging, and food safety requirements so consumers can enjoy a great REESE'S experience every time.

Different REESE'S treats may have different shapes, sizes, or fillings, but each one is designed to deliver a satisfying peanut butter experience. Product developers carefully test recipes and manufacturing processes to ensure the texture matches the intended eating experience for each product.

The ideal peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio can vary by product. Developers consider factors like shape, size, texture, and overall eating experience when designing each treat. Extensive testing helps ensure that every product delivers a satisfying balance of flavors.

The combination of peanut butter and chocolate, and sweet and saltiness, is what makes REESE'S so iconic. Striking the right balance helps ensure that both flavors shine through, creating the perfect sweet-and-salty experience that fans know and love.

When new ingredients, flavors, or textures are introduced, product developers may adjust the recipe to ensure the finished treat still delivers the taste and quality consumers expect. Every change is thoughtfully made and carefully tested to maintain the signature REESE'S experience while introducing something new and exciting.

REESE'S Candy contains chocolate, and therefore should not be consumed by dogs. If you suspect that your dog has consumed chocolate, call your veterinarian immediately.

REESE’S Candy is made by The Hershey Company. In 1956, H.B. Reese’s six sons took over the family business and later sold it to The Hershey Company in 1963.

REESE'S Plant Based Oat Chocolate Confection & Peanut Butter Candy Bars are vegan. All other REESE'S products are not vegan.

The correct way to say REESE’S is “ree-siz,” not “ree-sees.” The best way to remember is to think about REESE’S PIECES Candy because “REESE’S” rhymes with “pieces.”

The REESE'S product line includes over 100 candy bars, spreads, cookies, and cereals, including REESE'S Cups made with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white creme in a variety of sizes.

REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups were created by Harry Burnett (H.B.) Reese in 1928. H.B. Reese was a former employee of the Hershey Chocolate Company when he invented REESE'S peanut butter chocolate candy.
