Reese’s Thins
$2.49 (small bag); $4.09 (sharing bag) www.hersheys.com/reeses/en_us/home.html It’s fun waiting to see which legacy brand will be next with a line extension aimed at driving category excitement and incremental sales. This time, The Hershey Co. put its Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on a diet to create Reese’s Thins. They’re 40 percent thinner than regular cups, with 170 calories for a serving of three thins, versus 110 calories per regular cup. They were a hit among our testers, especially the milk chocolate variety. Actually, our dark chocolate fans were disappointed in the execution of that variety, but still, any day with peanut butter cups is a good one.
