The latest addition is the Reese&#8217;s Crunchy Peanut Ice Cream Bar, featuring Reese&#8217;s peanut butter-flavored sauce, ice cream, peanut pieces, and a milk chocolate-flavored coating. Yes, it&#8217;s made with 100% real ice cream, but it&#8217;s not keeping it 100 because that coating is decidedly not 100% real milk chocolate.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reese&#039;s Crunchy Peanut Ice Cream Bar milk chocolate flavored coating\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-76248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s shaped like a standard candy bar \u2014 a Snickers, a Milky Way. That got me thinking: wouldn&#8217;t it be infinitely cooler if these were shaped like Reese&#8217;s peanut butter cups, like those frozen novelties that were available several years ago? It would give the packaging some shelf appeal beyond the already shelf-appealing Reese\u2019s orange boxes.<\/p>\n<p>What about a stick, you ask? HA! Don&#8217;t make me laugh. A peanut butter cup-shaped ice cream bar doesn&#8217;t need a stick. The only stick to be concerned with is sticking it in your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I know some of you might be put off by the milk chocolate-flavored coating because that makes it sound cheap. But I assure you it tastes, melts, and shatters fine \u2014 for what it is. However, if this not-quite-chocolate showed up on an actual Reese&#8217;s peanut butter cup, I would take back my pitchfork from Lucifer, make my way to Pennsylvania, and turn Hershey into Hellshey. I will not stand for that. But on an ice cream bar that&#8217;s already working with a Reese\u2019s peanut butter flavor that doesn\u2019t quite taste like the stuff in the actual candy, I can extend the same grace to the coating.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar3.jpeg?resize=600%2C750&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reese&#039;s Crunchy Peanut Ice Cream Bar peanut pieces, ice cream, and peanut butter sauce.\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-76249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar3.jpeg?resize=600%2C750&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar3.jpeg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar3.jpeg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/reecrupicbar3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The smooth peanut butter sauce and the crunch of the peanuts do a great job of making me not care about the chocolatey coating, and the combination of all the components makes this genuinely enjoyable. After eating a couple of bars \u2014 not in a row, I should clarify \u2014 I\u2019m not entirely sure that the ice cream itself is peanut butter-flavored or something else, but the bar&#8217;s nutty flavor as a whole is quite strong regardless.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is one of the great flavor pairings, and even a product with a milk chocolate-flavored coating can still be pretty good. What this Reese&#8217;s product need more of, though, is the sweet-salty contrast that makes an actual Reese&#8217;s peanut butter cup so addictive \u2014 the thing that makes me want to eat the second cup in a regular pack and all four in a King Size. These are good, but not that kind of good. If you want the peanut butter and chocolate combo in ice cream bar form and you&#8217;re okay with the trade-offs, this will 100% do the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $10.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12 fl oz box\/6 2 fl oz bars<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Safeway<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 bar) 140 calories, 4 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 115 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar (includes 8 grams of added sugar), and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last year or so, there has been a growing line of Reese&#8217;s frozen novelties \u2014 almost more than you could shake an ice cream bar stick at.
