Yet another variation of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups this time in the form of the 'Big Cup'.
The 'Big Cup' is simply just a big version of the original peanut butter cup and is pretty much the equivalent of two standard cups rolled into one.
Out the package it looked huge - the package says 'crammed full of peanut butter'...this is not misleading - when I split it in half the peanut smell just filled the room and I was amazed at the sheer volume of the peanut butter center.
Though im not 100% sure of the actual proportioning im pretty sure that the peanut butter to chocolate ratio is far higher in this big cup than the standards - personally I dont think this is such a bad thing. Anyones who read my reviews on Reese's products will know that I love the peanut butter in their products but I generally feel the chocolate used is bland and poor....well its a similar story here the chocolate is overly flavourless but this is more than made up for by the sheer delightful smooth nutty creamyness of the peanut butter - its a flavour to savour.
Overall I have to say I would prefer having one of these 'Big Cups' to a standard Reese's two pack. For a start its all a bit less fidly but I guess the real clincher is the vast quantity of peanut butter you get in this format - it means that the sub standard chocolate is really just less of an issue and you get more of the creamy nutty goodness. As far as im aware these are quite freely avalible so if you see one around I would reccomend you give it a try especially if your a Reese's fan.

More peanut butter is always good! I've noticed you rated their white Reeses cups too. I know there's the Elvis PB & Banana style plus a Reeses cup w/a cookie on the botoom. The most interesting one I believe is a "peanut butter and jelly" Reeses, which you may have yet to find and sample!
"peanut butter and jelly"?? That must be a limited edition as i havent found that one yet no!! When was it out? Recently? Would really like to get my hands on one of them! My US suppliers CandyPirate havent mentioned anything about it. :S
If you want to read my review on the Banna cup just click on the labels search toolbar on the right of the homepage under either 'Reese's' or limited edition...either that or just have a look through February as I think thats when I reviewed it.
IMO no one beats Reese's products one Peanut Butter...well not that I have found anyway.
Thanks for the commment :)

I'm in the US and I've never heard of the PB&J version either... Maybe a bit of confusion?
There has been a Reese's Big White Cup which is also really good. I'm trying to find the Reese's Hazelnut Creeme (Canada only).
Hi Justin,
I have to admit Im a bit of a saddo and despite being in the UK i think I know the Reese's range inside out...and ive never heard of a 'Peanut Butter & Jelly'...its a pretty good idea though if you ask me.
The Big white cup sounds good - the white chocolate in Reese's although still not great does seem to be a bit better than the milk chocolate so trying out the White big cup seems good like a good idea to me...just got to get my hands on one.
Ive heard about the hazelnut creme version - unfortunately im doubt im going to be able to get my hands on it anytime soon. :(
Thanks for the comment always really appreciated! Keep checking out the site.
Cheers
Jim
there is a peanut butter and jelly one in the US. though i think i came out about 6 or 7 years ago
