Welcome To Taste of States a place where we celebrate the weird and wonderful food of the United States of America. This can be everything from the snacks that are available for a limited time to the foods that are classic traditions at events such as Christmas and Thanksgiving! Each week we will explore the facts and the history surrounding a different food.

REESE’S POPCORN

If there is one thing that you think of when you think of sweets or snacks from America then it is Reese’s. It is only when you start to research into them that you realise that The Hershey company have released so many different variations over the years and it makes me jealous we don’t have all of them in the United Kingdom. Today we are going to take a look at a product that was released in America only just last year and is a combination of snacks.

In August of 2023, it was announced that the popular treat Reese’s were going to release a brand new variety of their popular snack – a popcorn. The snack is popcorn that is covered in peanut butter and chocolate. The snack was available to purchase in two different sizes - a 2.25 ounce bag and a 5.25 ounce bag at any grocery store.

I have looked everywhere online and cannot find any reviews in relation to this popcorn, which makes me think that it was a snack that has not been heavily promoted in the States. However, personally I think it sounds delicious.
