The Peanut Butter Facts: These Reeses Offer the Biggest Peanut Butter Bang

Written by Bryce

If you’re obsessed with Reese’s, the only peanut butter facts you’ll ever need to know are which varieties offer the greatest peanut butter to chocolate ratio.

I can remember my Reese’s cravings as early as the late 80s. I was basically a toddler, and addicted to the sweet peanut butter innards like it was kiddie crack. In essence, I think it may have been, because fast forward to the current year and I’m still just as easily won over with a peanut butter cup.

But there’s a reason– the peanut butter is the key ingredient. The chocolate is somewhat meaningless. It’s a doily for the cup, really, and the goal is always to find the highest peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Bless Reddit user Rustid for getting to the bottom of this scientific question ringing at the back of all great minds.

The testing covered the following varieties of Reese’s:

Large Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts
Reese’s Pumpkin
Reese’s King Size
Reese’s Snack Size
Reese’s Small Heart
Reese’s Miniature
Reese’s Mini

The results? Well. The standard cups are delicious, but don’t offer 100% of the delicious potential you might hope for. Apparently the best peanut butter to chocolate ratio available on the market is via the heart shaped cups, proving that Reese’s loves us so deeply that they’re offering extra celebrations around Valentine’s Day only.
