Every so often, an innovation comes along that doesn\u2019t just tweak the original but completely upstages the OG. The new Dark Chocolate Reese\u2019s Puffs Cereal does exactly that.<\/p>\n
Apparently, this is the first new Reese\u2019s Puffs flavor combination since the cereal debuted in 1994?! That feels wild, considering there have been limited-edition shapes (bats, bunnies), Minis (which I loved), and other variations like Big Puffs and Peanut Butter Lovers. But flavor-wise, Reese\u2019s Puffs has always stuck with milk chocolate\u2026until now.<\/p>\n
And honestly? I am obsessed. General Mills tried to position this as a \u201cmidnight snacking\u201d cereal – something clever about dark chocolate and late-night eating – but let\u2019s be real: I ate this all day. I had it as a snack. I had it for dinner. No regrets because this is what Reese\u2019s Puffs should<\/em> be.<\/p>\n This version uses real Hershey\u2019s cocoa, and you can actually see the dark chocolate cereal pieces as well as taste them. Not just \u201ccereal chocolate\u201d flavor. The chocolate finally pulls its weight and does the Reese\u2019s candy justice. After eating this, the original Reese\u2019s Puffs just taste like peanut butter puffs to me.<\/p>\n Texture-wise, it matches the original, meaning it doesn\u2019t completely pulverize the roof of your mouth. From a flavor perspective, General Mills describes it as a richer, deeper take on the peanut butter and chocolate combo, and that description holds up. The cocoa-forward chocolate balances the peanut butter perfectly, and the cereal finally honors the candy. Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups are my all-time favorite, for the record.<\/p>\n I tried it both dry and with milk, and enjoyed it both ways. It doesn\u2019t really turn the milk into peanut butter chocolate milk, but I\u2019ll let that slide because the cereal itself tastes so good.<\/p>\n At first, I felt annoyed that I had to buy a giant family-size box of this new flavor. But, this is the Reese\u2019s Puffs glow-up we didn\u2019t know we\u2019d been waiting nearly 30 years for.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve reassured fans that the current classic isn\u2019t going anywhere, but I\u2019m officially petitioning for this dark chocolate version to become the new classic.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.93 Every so often, an innovation comes along that doesn\u2019t just tweak the original but completely upstages the OG.
