About the brand ❤️
Reese’s is a globally recognized American candy brand best known for its iconic Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, a confection combining creamy peanut butter filling encased in milk chocolate. The product was created in 1928 by Harry Burnett Reese, a former employee of the Hershey Chocolate Company who began crafting candies in the basement of his home in Pennsylvania. The popularity of his peanut butter cups grew rapidly, leading to the success of the H.B. Reese Candy Company. In 1963, the Reese business and brand were merged into The Hershey Company, which continues to produce and market Reese’s products today. Under Hershey’s stewardship, Reese’s expanded into a wide range of formats and related products — including Reese’s Pieces, Big Cups, and seasonal variations — making it one of the best-selling candy brands in the United States and a beloved treat worldwide. Its distinctive flavor combination and pervasive presence in pop culture have cemented Reese’s as a staple of modern confectionery.
