Reese's Honors Elvis
With Banana Cream Cups
However........








One of our regular correspondants checked in yesterday with his take on the new Reese's Elvis Banana Creme Cups. We here at the FPT have not tried them yet, however we recommend you read the folowing and review the above photos before a purchase:

"Props have to go out to the H.B. Reese Candy Co. for honoring the King in such fashion. However the props have to end there. It seems that any variation from the standard Reese Peanut Butter Cup makes for disaster. Albeit, the Reese Crispy Crunchy had me hooked for a bit."

"For starters, every Banana Cream Cup I’ve ever opened has been completely distorted from its true circular state. This has to do with the completely different metabolism of the Banana Cream Cup. It has a very chewy and rubber-like feel to it and always causes quite a mess to the fingers, nothing like the standard cup. After extracting the cups from the paper wrapper, you now have a moldable project on your hands. Chocolate (if that is what you’d like to call it) is left on the wrapper and it is a complete mess. No eating around the Peanut Butter center like with the originals; you are now forced to either pitch it or eat the whole damn thing at once."

"Nice effort Reese’s but please let the King rest in “piece”."

UPDATE:

Upon a recent visit to a local grocer, the Reese Big Cup Banana Creme was available for purchase. I immediately snagged one and headed home for the inspection.

1. Plain and simple, there is no comparison to the regular size vs. the Big Cup. The taste, peanut butter texture, and chocolate to peanut butter ratio is 100% different in each. The big cup tastes as this product is designed to without the rubbery feel.

Bottom line, if you haven't tried this product and are looking to, please look for the Big Cup and disregard the regular cups.
