Reese's just dropped PB&J Big Cups in Grape and Strawberry varieties for a limited time, and to create even more excitement around this launch, the brand is making a Reese’s PB&J Sandwich Kit available.
This very real product started as an April Fool's Day prank that was only teased to fans but now, a limited number of the PB&J Sandwich Kits are available to shop on the ShopHershey’s site. In the kit, fans of peanut butter and chocolate flavors will find a sweet sandwich bread with a jar of Reese’s Creamy Peanut Butter, strawberry or grape spread, and the new Reese’s PB& J Big Cups.
Although few will get their hands on the chocolatey bread, those craving a taste of Reese's interpretation of an iconic flavor pairing can seek out PB&J Big Cups while supplies last.
