Reese's Popcorn is a sweet, salty and textural snack product created by the signature candy bar brand to provide avid fans with a new way to indulge their sweet tooth. The product starts off with simple popcorn that's covered in a chocolatey drizzle along with a peanut butter creme to give every bite the taste of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The snack comes as part of a larger shift towards food products that incorporate familiar tastes and textures, and deliver new kinds of experiences for consumers.
Reese's Popcorn comes in 5.25-ounce sharing bags and comes in at 140-calories per serving, which makes it a decidedly lighter way to enjoy the classic taste of the brand's peanut butter cups.
