Get excited, peanut butter fans! Reese’s is adding an extra nutty new member of the family that trades in its classic chocolate Peanut Butter Cup coating for another layer of peanut butter. The Hershey Company announced Monday the Reese’s Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers Cup will be available for a limited time only, beginning in April 2021.
The Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers Cup is similar to Reese’s cult-favorite Peanut Butter Lovers Cup, previously released for limited runs in 2019 and 2020 and featuring an extra layer of peanut butter on top of the cup’s chocolate shell. The Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers Cup, however, will be filled with peanut butter and completely coated with a peanut butter candy-flavored shell, giving you twice the nuttiness in every bite.
