Hershey\u2019s & Reese\u2019s Pieces bar<\/a> in November 2018 (shout out Denis). This new GIANT version is different in that it’s, well, GIANT, and includes both Reese\u2019s Pieces and peanuts. Knowing that the concept of ratios would be important here, I also picked up the \u201cKing Size\u201d version of the peanut-less bar to compare. What can I say, I\u2019m empathetic to a middle child.<\/p>\n![\"Hershey](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hersheys-Milk-Chocolate-Peanuts-Reeses-Pieces-Bar-Comparison-3.jpeg?resize=600%2C352&ssl=1\" "\\"Hershey's")
<\/p>\n
The GIANT bar is clearly still using mini Reese\u2019s Pieces. And, on cross-section, I can definitely also see the peanut pieces. There was the same delightful crunch from the candy pieces and the higher ratio of chocolate to inclusions in the GIANT bar made the overall flavor more balanced. The peanuts didn\u2019t come through as strongly as the Reese\u2019s Pieces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
My biggest issue with this bar is that I\u2019m not sold on the graphics and description. Based on the packaging, I would expect the chocolate in this bar to be Hershey\u2019s Milk Chocolate, but it definitely tastes different. There isn\u2019t a clear ingredient line culprit to prove my suspicions, but the chocolate in the GIANT Peanuts & Reese\u2019s Pieces bar is lighter in color and has WAY less cocoa flavor.<\/p>\n
The chocolate in this bar is a lot more reminiscent of a Mr. Goodbar, but I\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s a flavor difference from the added peanut pieces, or if Hershey\u2019s actually used different chocolate.<\/p>\n
Overall, I think the GIANT version of this new(ish) candy mash-up is the best ratio of the three available sizes. If you\u2019re looking for that true Hershey\u2019s milk chocolate flavor, you\u2019re not going to be completely satisfied. But, if you think the Mr. Goodbar is underappreciated, you might just love this. <\/p>\n
