Reese's Peanut Butter Easter Egg

Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs are a seasonal variation of the iconic peanut butter cup, produced primarily by The Hershey Company. The brand was originally created by H.B. Reese, a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey, who started his own candy business in 1923. In 1963, the H.B. Reese Candy Company merged with The Hershey Company, which has managed the brand's global expansion ever since.

While the original brand is American, the manufacturing for products sold in the UK and Ireland markets often involves multiple locations across North America and Europe to meet seasonal demand. The Hershey Company, headquartered in Pennsylvania, remains the ultimate global owner, though distribution in specific European regions may be managed through local subsidiaries or partners like Hershey Netherlands B.V. for the EMEA market.
