Reese's Pieces
Reese's Pieces
Reese's Pieces are a peanut butter candy manufactured by The Hershey Company. They are small, round, and coated with a hard candy shell. The candy was first introduced in 1978 and has since become a popular treat in the United States and around the world.
History
Reese's Pieces were first introduced in 1978 by The Hershey Company. They were created as a spin-off of the popular Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which were first introduced in 1928. The candy was named after H.B. Reese, a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey.
Ingredients
The main ingredients in Reese's Pieces are sugar, partially defatted peanuts, hydrogenated vegetable oil, corn syrup, dextrose, and artificial color. They are also made with less than 2% of palm kernel oil, corn syrup solids, salt, confectioner's glaze, modified cornstarch, lecithin, vanillin, and milk.
Popularity
Reese's Pieces gained significant popularity after their appearance in the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The candy was used in the film as a way to lure the alien character, E.T., out of hiding. Following the release of the film, sales of Reese's Pieces skyrocketed.
Variations
Over the years, The Hershey Company has introduced several variations of Reese's Pieces. These include Reese's Pieces Peanut, which are larger and contain a whole peanut in the center, and Reese's Pieces Big Cup, which is a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup filled with Reese's Pieces.
In Popular Culture
