Chocolate Candy Snack Cakes

Reese’s Snack Cakes Combine Chocolate Cake and Peanut Butter Creme

— September 2, 2020 — Lifestyle
Fans of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups will soon be able to enjoy biting into a new creation from The Hershey Co. that reimagines the classic pairing of chocolate and peanut butter into Reese’s Snack Cakes. The new snack cakes combine soft-baked chocolate cake topped with peanut butter crème, both of which are wrapped in milk chocolate.

The snack cakes are set to be sold in sets of two, which are positioned as indulgent mid-morning snacks, since research shows that a large percentage of adults are in the habit of consuming desserts before noon. The snack cakes to satisfy a mid-morning sweet tooth were created to fill that spot between breakfast and lunch and offer all of the flavor and sweetness of the brand's Peanut Butter Cups in a different way.
