Reese's Egg-Waken Your Easter Milk Chocolate Egg

Reese's is a globally recognized confectionery brand famous for its iconic combination of milk chocolate and 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 started the H.B. Reese Candy Company in his basement in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he developed the legendary Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Due to the close relationship between the two companies and the use of Hershey's chocolate in the recipe, the H.B. Reese Candy Company was ultimately merged with The Hershey Company in 1963.

Today, Reese's operates as a signature brand under The Hershey Company, which remains headquartered in Hershey, Pennsylvania. While the brand is quintessentially American in origin, its seasonal products like the Easter chocolate eggs shown here are manufactured across a global supply chain. For the European and UK markets, production often occurs in multiple countries, including the United States, Mexico, or through European partners, to meet regional demand during peak holiday seasons. The Hershey Company continues to be one of the largest chocolate manufacturers in the world, maintaining strict control over the Reese's brand identity and product formulations globally.
