There are very few things peanut butter doesn’t taste good with. Think cookies, fudge, ice cream, sauce, and even chicken soup. What about peanut butter on a burger? We say, why not? There are plenty of ready-to-eat snacks that rely on peanut butter as a main ingredient, too. Probably none are as well-known or well-loved as Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
The chocolate and peanut butter combination, or the “two great tastes that taste great together” as its old marketing slogan used to say, is now iconic. This flavor combo appears in most of Reese’s products, but now, the brand is releasing a snack that's ditching chocolate in favor of something else and we're not mad about it.
Reese's New Filled Pretzels Are Hitting Shelves Now
Hershey’s has launched all-new Reese’s Filled Pretzels, which are pretzel nuggets filled with peanut butter. The concept is nothing new. Costco’s Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets are a fan favorite among the warehouse’s shoppers. Then there’s the Trader Joe’s version, which made its customer-voted Hall of Fame in 2023. Similar to these other variations, Reese’s pretzels won’t contain any chocolate.
Maybe the absence of chocolate is a deliberate move. It’s much easier to pop a peanut butter-filled pretzel in your mouth while driving than a chocolate-covered pretzel—it's less messy too.
Still, @Snackolator on Instagram mentioned that Reese’s “100% needs these with Hershey’s chocolate coating them along with a variety where it’s a peanut butter creme coating because those would be absolutely incredible” and followers agreed.
“They should have dipped these in chocolate!!” one commenter wrote.
After the initial soft launch in November 2024, the Reese's Filled Pretzels are finally hitting more retailer shelves now. You can find the Reese's peanut butter-filled pretzels in five-ounce bags, nine-ounce bags, and an 18-ounce jar at major retailers nationwide. We know we'll be buying one of each size so there's one for on-the-go, one for personal snacking, and one for sharing (or not).
