While prettier than a Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg, it’s going to take A LOT more than looks to convince me they’re worth it. I believe it is what’s inside that truly counts. (Spotted by Allison H at Walmart.)

I haven’t yet bought any Easter candy — perhaps it’s time for a side-by-side taste test of the Reese’s and Jif eggs? 😉
They’re actually pretty good. The peanut butter is surprisingly like legit Jiff. I see others complaining about the chocolate and I too always viewed Frankford as like a “cheap” brand but the chocolate is OK on these. It’s obviously not like Lindt good but it’s a serviceable vehicle for the peanut butter. Their Oreo bunny is also surprisingly good. The chocolate has that deep cocoa Oreo flavor that I was shocked they were able to replicate in the actual chocolate part of the bunny. Try to find the Jiff eggs quickly though. I got the last bag at my local Walmart last night.
Frankford is the second worst ever; it’s only toppled to the bottom by Palmer.
Shame on Jif for teaming up with such a horrible quality company.
The filling is very creamy, not at all crumbly like Reese’s. I like them.
I believe my fellow commenters who say the chocolate is terrible but how good was the chocolate on a reese’s cup really? and the filling isn’t going to have the texture of wet cat food paté. I’ll try them if I see them.
There is a big difference. Reese’s uses actual chocolate even if it’s not the highest quality for their milk chocolate.
“Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate, Skim Milk, Milk Fat, Lactose”
Both use actual chocolate.

Give ’em a try. The peanut butter is creamy. not chalky.
