Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are one of the most iconic confectionery products in the world, renowned for their signature blend of sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter. The brand was originally created by H.B. Reese, a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey. In 1928, Reese launched his own confectionery business from his basement in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where the Peanut Butter Cup was born.
While the brand started as an independent venture, it was eventually acquired by The Hershey Company in 1963. Today, Reese's remains the flagship brand of the Hershey portfolio. Manufacturing primarily takes place in massive facilities in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Monterrey, Mexico, to supply global markets. The brand's presence in the UK, as seen in the image with the GBP price tag, is managed through Hershey's international distribution networks.
As of 2026, The Hershey Company continues to be the ultimate owner, maintaining its status as a global leader in snacks and sweets. The brand has expanded significantly from the original cup into various formats, including the 'Trio' and 'Bigger Cups' variations designed for different consumer preferences and retail environments.
