Last autumn, we Hershey-heads were gifted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/10\/23\/reeses-big-cup-with-pretzels-review\/\">Reese&#8217;s Big Cup with Pretzels<\/a>, and this fall, it&#8217;s upping the sweet and salty ante with the Reese&#8217;s Potato Chips Big Cup.<\/p>\n<p>This item is smokin&#8217; hot brand new, yet the packaging has a retro quality that I find really attractive. It lures me in with its nostalgic charm. Although as a bonafide sweet and salty junky, I didn&#8217;t need to be sold in the slightest to pick these up the second I saw them.<\/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\/2021\/11\/reepcbigcup2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reese s Potato Chips Big Cup Pair\" title=\"reepcbigcup2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if there&#8217;s a plan to release these in normal-sized cups or minis in the future, but starting with the Big Cup was the right decision. I&#8217;ve found the mix-ins, whether they&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2016\/08\/02\/review-reeses-peanut-butter-cups-stuffed-with-reeses-pieces\/\">Reese&#8217;s Pieces<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2017\/08\/16\/review-reeses-stuffed-with-crunchy-cookie-cups\/\">cookies<\/a>, or pretzels, can get lost in the smaller variety but get the proper chance to shine with the extra space the Big Cup provides. That&#8217;s definitely the case here.<\/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\/2021\/11\/reepcbigcup3.jpeg?resize=600%2C445&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reese s Potato Chips Big Cup Innards\" title=\"reepcbigcup3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"445\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The potato chips provide an immediate and intense crunch, with a touch of pleasant greasiness and punchy saltiness that takes the already salty candy to new heights. It&#8217;s still more sweet than it is salty, but the toothy chomp of the crispy ridged chips sets off pockets of legitimate salt that aren&#8217;t part of the normal smooth peanut butter equation. The salt gets tempered by the milk chocolate, and while it&#8217;s saltier than your average PB cup, it&#8217;s still well balanced with the sweetness. It&#8217;s delicious and addictive. I want this in the novelty sized holiday half-pound cups! <\/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\/2021\/11\/reepcbigcup4.jpeg?resize=600%2C713&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reese s Potato Chips Big Cup Single\" title=\"reepcbigcup4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"713\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If I had to fault this Big Cup in any way, it&#8217;s in the lack of identifiable potato chip flavor. While they&#8217;re not as common as chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate-covered chips are awesome. And as strong as the sweet and salty experience is in this Big Cup, I would have loved for that classic starchy potato taste to come through. I&#8217;m not all that surprised, though. Peanut butter has such a dominant flavor, but that cheap greasiness DOES poke through over the fatty PB, so it&#8217;s still distinctly different from any prior offerings, even the pretzel. Fortunately, the lack of vegetal potato taste also doesn&#8217;t bog down the experience too much. It&#8217;s just keeping it from being perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $1.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 2.6 oz<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Walgreens<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 cup &#8211; 36 grams) 180 calories, 11 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 150 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 18 grams of sugar, 4 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of the year when Reese&#8217;s shapes frenetically go from footballs to pumpkins to trees in the blink of an eye.
