<\/a>Cookie Layer Crunch Bars, the chocolate giant is back with the textural fixation via the release of Reese\u2019s Crunchers.<\/p>\nSince the cookie bars didn\u2019t have a peanut butter version at launch, it only seems right that the crunch train keeps rollin’ in the direction of one of Hershey\u2019s strongest and most recognizable brands. <\/p>\n
Reese\u2019s Crunchers combine mini peanut butter chips, puffs, and peanuts covered in milk chocolate in a resealable bag so you can casually crunch the day away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The aroma is immediately recognizable – the signature sweet and salty Reese\u2019s perfume that all good orange packages ought to smell like. It\u2019s a distinct smell that could be filed under \u201cdelicious\u201d for the 97 percent of the world\u2019s population who don\u2019t have a nut allergy. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Chomping into these Crunchers delivers the same flavor that my nose perked up to and has that great balance of peanut butter and chocolate that Reese\u2019s is known for, but just a bit more muted. The presence of the rice crisps dulls the impact of the peanut butter to make it a less rich and intense flavor, and essentially tastes like the peanut butter sibling to Nestle\u2019s Buncha Crunch. <\/p>\n
Although the package says there are chocolate covered peanuts I don\u2019t get any distinct peanut flavor or texture amongst the sea of crisps, and I wish they were stronger as their snap would be a welcome addition to the snack party. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The only problem with this product is it really isn\u2019t all that crunchy. Yes, the pieces are more crunchy than a standard creamy Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cup, but definitely less crunchy than the Reese\u2019s Snack Mix that gets a big chompy boost from pretzels and whole peanuts.<\/p>\n
The Crunchers are a bit salty but not so much so that they elevate the flavor beyond an actual cup, and without any sort of variety in the bag beyond small and large pieces the eating experience isn\u2019t as exciting as I had hoped it would be. <\/p>\n
As much as I love some crunch to go along with my chocolate and peanut butter I would much rather have a single Reese\u2019s cup and eat it alongside some pretzels or popcorn than what these Crunchers offer. <\/p>\n
They do, however, seem like a perfect movie theater companion where I could blindly reach in and alternate from Cruncher to corn and corn to Cruncher while the big screen story unfolds before me without worrying about what kind of handful I was going to get in the darkened theater.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day they taste like Reese\u2019s, and Reese\u2019s taste like mouth dreams. <\/p>\n
