Reese Spreads

In my family it is no secret what my absolute favourite sweet treat is – Reese Peanut Butter Cups. I have loved them for many years, but alas, like all good things, these babies need to be consumed in moderation. After all it wouldn’t look very good if you have gobs of these little guys every single day. Not that I have ever done that. 🙂 But now there is a new way to enjoy this oh so heavenly treat without the guilt! Canadians rejoice because Reese Spreads have come to town!!

When I think of comfort foods, I think of things like peanut butter on toast. Or s’mores with melted chocolate and those gooey marshmallows. Or how about a Reese Peanut Butter Cup that has been placed in the fridge for a little bit. Sigh… where was I?  Oh yeah, comfort foods. 🙂 What better way to meld those lovely flavours together than in a spread that combines the sweetness of chocolate with the nutty goodness of peanut butter. Oh man, I can already taste it!  Reese Spreads has brought comfort to a whole ‘nother level people and you are gonna want to get your hands on some.

Reese Spreads can be enjoyed in many ways, like spreading some on sliced apples, putting it on a bagel or waffles or maybe just, ahem, straight from the spoon. 🙂  For a more portable snack you can try the Reese Spreads Snacksters. On one side is the yummy peanut butter chocolate spread and on the other these tasty graham dippers! There are many recipes to try out as well, like the ones you can find on the Hershey Canada website.  Check out this heavenly one below! We plan to try it out this weekend. 🙂

    I love a spoon of Peanut Butter in my coffee and I would bet a spoon of Reese would take it up several levels !

    I would use it as a substitute for peanut butter and try it in cookies and frosting as well as a spread on bread.

    I think this would be delicious on a thick, toasted slice of french bread. Or swirled in a cake. Or in a smoothie, with bananas. So many possibilities!

    I don’t really like Reese Spreads but my husband and kids do. My husband spreads it on bread and my kids like to put it on crackers.

    I would love to try to bake something with it, but I think mostly, we would put it on toast for breakfast and apples for a snack! Yum!

  2. […] So a little while ago I shared all about the new Reese Spread that has invaded Canada. This sweet gooey goodness has taken the peanut butter cups we love and made them spreadable. Sounds kind of funky, but it is anything but. This stuff is not only good, it is addictive. So this weekend my hubby decided to put one of the Reese recipes to the test.  And wow, did it ever turn out well. I mean this is the kind of dessert one dreams about perfecting.  Reese has a lot of recipes you can try out, but we choose to make the cheese cake.  You can see my original post, along with the recipe by heading here.
