Reese's Chocolate Lava Big Cup King Size

Reese's is one of the world's most iconic confectionery brands, celebrated primarily for its perfect combination of milk chocolate and peanut butter. The brand was founded in 1928 by Harry Burnett (H.B.) Reese, a former dairy farmer and employee of the Milton S. Hershey company. Reese began his venture in his own basement in Hershey, Pennsylvania, using Hershey’s chocolate as a primary ingredient for his 'Penny Cups'.

In 1963, the H.B. Reese Candy Company merged with The Hershey Company in a significant stock-for-stock merger, and since 1969, Reese's products have consistently been the parent company's top-selling items. The Chocolate Lava Big Cup variation, which adds a molten chocolate layer to the classic peanut butter center, was introduced in 2024 as part of the brand's continued innovation.

Today, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of The Hershey Company. While the Hershey Trust Company maintains majority voting control, the brand serves as a global flagship for American confectionery. Production is centralized in the United States, particularly at the specialized Reese chocolate processing facilities in Hershey, Pennsylvania, which ensures the consistency of its signature peanut butter and chocolate flavor profile for the global market.
