It&#8217;s taken four long years to go from Reese&#8217;s Pieces to pretzels, but if you&#8217;ve ever gone through a sticky hole, you know it takes a while to go through one.<\/p>\n<p>While previous stuffed Reese&#8217;s Peanut Butter Cups were available in Big Cups and the original size, these are currently only available in these honkin&#8217; Big Cups. Although, I&#8217;ve been told by a little peanut butter cup that a bag of pretzel-stuffed miniatures will be sold starting in January.<\/p>\n<p>Why a thicker peanut butter cup and not a regular-sized one? Your answer is probably as good as mine. I think the pretzel pieces might not be thin enough for a normal-sized cup.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Reeses-Big-Cup-with-Pretzels-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reese s Big Cup with Pretzels Closeup\" title=\"Reese's Big Cup with Pretzels Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While they might not be thin enough, the pieces are still small. It&#8217;s as if Hershey&#8217;s factory workers were allowed to let out their 2020 frustrations onto bags filled with skinny pretzel knots and used the shattered pieces in these. They&#8217;re just bits, but they provide a satisfying crunch that no peanut, cookie, or Reese&#8217;s Pieces could come close to. <\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the thing, while it has the popular snack&#8217;s crunch, I don&#8217;t notice a pretzel flavor. Even in bites that seemed to be mostly pretzels, I didn&#8217;t get that unique flavor.<\/p>\n<p>I thought the savory snack might make the candy noticeably saltier than a regular Big Cup, but they don&#8217;t. Also, because of the added ingredient, this isn&#8217;t as sweet as a standard Big Cup.<\/p>\n<p>So does that mean this a big bland brown disk? No.<\/p>\n<p>That signature Reese&#8217;s peanut butter and chocolate flavor is still there, although subdued a bit. They&#8217;re basically Reese&#8217;s Big Cups with a BIG crunch, and I&#8217;d still stuff these into my big mouth.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s another thing. I have to admit my taste buds weren&#8217;t too excited about these because they&#8217;re more intrigued by a similar product from Reese&#8217;s announced around the same time. However, it won&#8217;t come out until March 2021, and that&#8217;s Reese&#8217;s Big Cups with Chips. Yes, potato chips.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m someone who prefers chips over pretzels. If I&#8217;m watching a major sporting event, like the World Curling Championship, I&#8217;m going to be watching it while sweeping some chips into my house for all eight to ten ends. It&#8217;s not going to be pretzels. So it makes sense that my taste buds are looking forward to the chip version more.<\/p>\n<p>But as for this Reese&#8217;s Big Cup with Pretzels, it&#8217;s worth a try. But buy a bag of Synder&#8217;s of Hanover with it if you want a bit more pretzel flavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free samples of the product. (Thanks, Reese\u2019s!)
