Mad Scientist-Inspired Halloween Candy

Reese's Frankencups Include a "Monstrous Green Creme Base"

— September 22, 2020 — Lifestyle
While Halloween celebrations may look a bit different this year due to the pandemic, Hershey's is keeping up with its themed candy launches ahead of occasion with the release of Reese's Peanut Butter Frankencups.

As the name suggests, the candy takes inspiration from the mad scientist and his strange creation—which it showcases in its packaging and on the candy itself, which is complete with a green creme base. The other half of the shell is made from the brand's classic milk chocolate, and the inside still features Reese's delectable peanut butter filling.

Frankencups come in both standard and king size variations, and are available for a limited time only. They can be purchased from the brand's participating retailers, including Target.
