Kcal 220 Fat 11g Fat(sats) 6g Carbs 26gReese's Pieces have been around for many decade. They are most famous recently due to a clever product placement marketing ploy in the ET film in the early 90s which saw a massive surge in their popularity. These were another of my imports from America costing just over £1.20 in total and are currently not available in the UK.
Reese's pieces are none to dissimilar to smarties in appearance and size, though slightly smaller than the peanut butter M&Ms I reviewed in early January. These came in a handy 43g bag which was just the right amount; anymore and these probably would have been a little sickly.
The crispy outer shell compliments the peanut butter well; the lack of chocolate certainly makes sure the flavours aren't over complicated and the two flavour dynamic works well. One of my gripes with the Peanut Butter M&Ms was that the chocolate and sugar coating over powered the peanut butter taste but this is not the case with Reese's pieces and you are left with a strong aftertaste of peanut butter... YUM YUM!! :)
Overall a great product from Reese's which I highly recommend; more so than the Peanut Buttter M&Ms which you may have gathered. These have a pride of place in the top 5 at present.

I remember E.T. and the Reeses Pieces! They used to have great commercials for these candies too. Love 'em.
ET made these sell like absolute hotcakes for years after...amazing product placement by Hersheys.
They also just happen to taste gorgeous aswell.

I really liked these, but nearer the end of the pack I found that the sameish, powerful peanut butter tastes were becoming slightly sickly. Maybe intergrate these in with chocolate filled ones and the variety would probably dispense this problem for me.
However, these were still delicious, and me being the big fan of peanut butter that I am, I thought was a genius product.
Nice one.

That would be a nice product wouldn't it ... just a few M&M milk choc type ones mixed in with the PB ones with be awesome!
Cheers

9... 9!!! '9'
Agh, I detest these things, I love nuts, especially peanut, I do have to admit i hate 'Crispy outer shells' the suger, texture is horrible for me, I don't do smarties, Mistrals, M&Ms ( I do like peanut M&Ms if someone offers me one but only after the shell has melted) etc...
But to me even past the shell we are left with sugar loaded washing up liquid obscenity.
