Everyone is turning their attention to the most chocolaty time of year—Easter! Oreo is making tasty Easter egg decorating kits, and Peeps cereal is back on the shelf to start your morning right. But the one treat we look forward to every year just got a peanut buttery new look, and we’re already craving a nibble.
Take a bite of a Reese’s chocolate bunny loaded with creamy peanut butter. (We prefer going ears first, but there’s no wrong way to indulge.)
This Easter Is All About Reese’s
All wrapped up in classic Reese’s orange and yellow, these chocolate bunnies are just what Easter was missing. You should know that these guys aren’t hollow. Every Reese’s chocolate bunny is filled with signature peanut butter!
The first snap of Reese’s chocolate bunny, accompanied by its Hershey’s milk chocolate pal, was shared by @SnacksfromAround on Instagram. Everybunny went hopping mad, of course, which is no surprise considering the popularity of Reese’s peanut butter eggs.
Does this mean we’ll see Reese’s Pieces Shake & Break Eggs again this year?!
These Belong in Your Easter Basket
So far, this Reese’s chocolate bunny has only been spotted at Giant Food Stores, but we imagine it’ll be making the rounds at other retailers, like Walmart and Target. For now, you can snag this 1-pound Reese’s bunny from Walmart for around $11. A 2-pack will cost you closer to $23. Still, it’s worth it to enjoy the creamy taste of Reese’s this Easter.
