Hershey's is the holy grail company behind Reese's—the ultimate variety of all things chocolate and peanut butter. Both of us could practically live off of peanut butter, so obviously, Reese's are our favorite candy. Listed below is our unofficial ranking of all Reese's products.
P.S. We loved them all, except for #19.
19. Reese’s Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cups
While we knew that these wouldn't come close to the real thing, we were curious to see how the sugar-free version of our favorite candy would taste. As expected, these did not taste great, and we would both rather splurge on the non-sugar free version.
18. Reese’s Snack Mix
This snack mix is made up of small pretzels, peanuts, Reese's Pieces, and mini Reese's cups. In theory, this sounds amazing. However, the ratio of each of the components was off. Way more pretzels than chocolate, which made this snack mix somewhat disappointing.
17. Reese’s Crunchy Cookie Cup
We have been dying to try these cups for a while now, and we were excited to get our hands on them. However, our expectations were too high. The cookie pieces gave the cup a good crunchy texture, but there was no chocolate cookie flavor to be found.
16. Reese’s Popped Snack Mix
Like #18, but with an upgrade. First, this mix was filled with chocolate drizzled popcorn. The boring peanuts were also replaced with Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter candy covered peanuts (what a mouthful) which were our favorite part of the mix. This mix, while significantly better than Reese's original snack mix, was still too heavy on the pretzels and popcorn for our liking.
15. Reese’s Dipped Pretzels
Chocolate covered pretzels are some of our favorite treats, so we were excited about these. They were delicious, don't get us wrong, but we wished that the peanut butter flavor was stronger. We didn't get the Reese's vibes that we were hoping for, but they are still a tasty snack.
14. Reese’s Minis White Chocolate
We both love white chocolate, so we were so excited to finally try these. We were both a huge fan because the mild white chocolate allowed the peanut butter flavor to stand out. While these aren't better than the milk chocolate version, they were a good change.
13. Reese’s Crunchers
Disclaimer: These are addicting. If you like snacking on something sweet, salty, and crunchy, these are for you. The peanut butter and chocolate flavors are both able to shine, and it makes for the perfect treat.
12. Reese’s Fast Break
The Fast Break bar is a candy bar that has a layer of nougat and Reese's PB enclosed in chocolate. Although it was tasty, we expected a more hefty bar. We wished there was something crunchy, such as a cookie or roasted peanuts.
11. Reese’s Pieces
A classic, and for good reason. Reese's Pieces are addictingly good. The sweet peanut butter inside of the crunchy shell is the perfect movie theater treat (or anytime treat).
10. Milk Chocolate Filled with Reese's Peanut Butter
The Reese's bar is a thick chocolate bar with a layer of creamy PB stuffed inside. Although less peanut-buttery than the other products, the chocolate seemed of much higher quality.
9. Reese’s Minis Milk Chocolate
Unlike Reese's Miniatures, these are even smaller and unwrapped. They are super easy to eat and pack a punch of peanut butter deliciousness. Although we haven't tried them, the dark chocolate version must be just as good, or even better.
8. Reese’s Dark Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures
As fans of dark chocolate, these were a no-brainer. The chocolate is much smoother than their milk chocolate counterpart. Reese's Miniatures just don't have enough peanut butter to satisfy our demands.
7. World's Largest Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Enclosed in the package is 2 half-pound Reese's. It's basically as #EXTRA as it gets. The cups, however, are a bit difficult to eat. We used a knife, but the entire cup was maimed. We definitely want to give credit for the high peanut butter to chocolate ratio.
6. Reese’s Miniature Cups Stuffed with Pieces
These miniature cups are your typical chocolate and peanut butter delights, but they have a few small-sized Reese's Pieces within them. The Pieces add a good crunch while maintaining a prominent PB flavor.
5. Reese’s Sticks & Mini Sticks
These are like the KitKat of Reese's product, and they are amazing. We both loved the sweet and salty peanut butter layered between the crispy wafers. While we didn't think these would be a standout, they wound up being one of our favorites. They come in bite-size sticks and long bars.
4. Reese’s Big Cups
Weighing in at 1.4 ounces, the giant peanut butter cup stays true to its name. The label calls it the "Peanut Butter Lovers Cup", and they couldn't have said it any better.
2. (Tie) Reese’s Nutrageous & Reese’s Outrageous
If you are unfamiliar with the bars, the Nutrageous consists of peanut butter, chopped peanuts, and caramel, doused in chocolate, while the Outrageous substitutes Reese's Pieces for the chopped nuts. The bars are equally as enjoyable.
1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Throughout all of our tasting, it was clear that while ALL Reese's products are great, nothing beats a classic. The perfect ratio of peanut butter to chocolate make the original Reese's Peanut Butter Cup the clear winner.
Peanut butter and chocolate clearly go together perfectly. The line of Reese's features a plethora of deliciously amazing treats. Whether you like classics, a bit of crunch, or you believe in the motto "bigger is better", you'll find your own perfect ranking of every Reese's product.
