How Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Are Made in a Factory | Reese's Cups Factory Process

[@ProcessPowerhouse]

Do you prefer the chocolate or the peanut butter more?

[@salc8724]

Peanut butter

[@DrSlumpy]

The answer is "yes"

[@brptp3488]

Love them both but there's just something special about the peanut butter

[@gregsonnleitner6250]

It's the combination that sets them apart.

[@RealAaron317]

peanut butter

[@Frie_Jemi]

"hey you got your chocolate in my peanut butter!". "NO! You got your peanut butter in my chocolate!!" .... CLASSIC!!

[@shannonjones1675]

I was hoping I would see that commercial in the video, but I'm just as happy to see someone else remembers it and mentioned it 😊. And for me it's the combo.

[@mosart7025]

It was started by Harry Reese and his son. My uncle married the son's daughter. She is in her 80's. She remembers her dad going to Philadelphia to pass out candy to get feedback and to get word out. Every time we would go visit my grandfather we would check the freezer that was in the garage. There would usually be a box of the little Reese's inside. And my grandfather always had Reese's pencils in jars in his office. He had a farm about 3 miles outside Hershey. When the wind was right you could smell the chocolate all day. They are still my favorite candy and it's the combo!

I enjoyed reading your story. Thanks for sharing.

Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us! 🍫👍🏼💕

[@craigstjohn4470]

but put, real ingredients in the peanut butter cups!!/. NO artificial ingredients!!!!/ maybe make them, bigger round!

[@craigstjohn4470]

& how many times do they,clean and sanitize the machines?! /. that grinds the peanuts 🥜 and chocolate??

[@silvergrizzly316]

​@@craigstjohn4470I really don't care if they mixed 10 tons of cow patties in it as long as it tastes like REESES PB CUPS!!😂

[@Lucas_D79]

I store mine in the fridge. Best candy ever.

There's no way I could work there. I would die from a sugar coma LOL

@1978tenpack - Yeah, but I'd sure die happy.

[@stevekohl5351]

Don't you mean a chocolate coma?

[@danielhigley8543]

I worked there.... you aren't allowed to eat from the line. I got fired for eating a Nutragious bar that failed final bar inspection....... I'm stupid.

[@wickedcabinboy]

@@danielhigley8543 - I worked for Sunshine Biscuits as a QC tech way back when. That was a rule even back then... but we could take a sample back to the office for a taste test. Perks of the job.

[@diane-cx1eo]

😂😂😂 me too.lol

[@Spartanist4545]

hands down my favorite candy of all time!

[@nickspangler5508]

Amen to that.

[@georgethayer6692]

The melling together of each, chocolate and peanut butter!!!

[@rh1507]

It's the combo of the chocolate and the peanut butter together that makes the magic possible.

[@zyxw2000]

Classic combo of sweet + salty.

[@TrashyLobster]

You my friend are a brilliant one.

[@randallcastillo2179]

For me, it's the combined flavors that make them great tasting.

[@TheBenchmarkNerd]

Not gonna lie bro these companies should pay you for theses videos makes me wanna get some now😂

[@NonyaBiz-o4e]

It saves us from going on a field trip to visit the factory. It's good knowledge shared.

[@judithmar690]

Combination of the two! Best candy ever!

[@carneios08]

“This isn’t just random squirting. Oh no!” _nervously looking around to see if anyone is staring at me_

[@scotts1356]

😂🤣

[@sagatuppercut2960]

When I was 4 years old, I would beg my mom to stop by the liquor store so I could have a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I was too young to handle money, so my siblings would buy it for me. I still love the flavor after all these years!

[@YM-zz5qq]

Lol that's funny. 😄

[@modusop8]

Gotta admit I love these chocolate/peanut butter perfections !!!

[@aerialphoto]

I didn’t notice any taste testers in that factory. Well you’re in luck because I’m available day, night, overtime, weekends, holidays, Covid shut downs

[@TheSavageRepairman]

When I was a kid in the 60s the chocolate of the cup had bottoms, nowadays they do not have real bottoms. Just a hint of chocolate that sticks to the wrapper leaving the cup bottomless. It is still my most favorite candy however like everything else from the beginning they eventually become cost saving filters of the original item.

[@ronwallace6273]

the wrapper was paper and breathed to its not like now where the wrapper is like a ziplock bag and it tastes like wax if it gets hot ruining the taste , they are great still if new

[@nevefamily3524]

Quality control high-ups should look into adding more chocolate to the bottoms. It did bug me when the paper grabs on to the middle bottom and pulls it off.

[@JeanPaillard-to1hx]

When I was a kid in the early 60s potato chips were heavenly delicious, especially the Wise potato chips with the owl eye on the bag. They were absolutely irresistable but in later years they became bland like the other brands. I believe it's because at the time the potato slices were originally fried in animal ''fat'' and were more than likely not very good for your health. You can't find that nowadays because the chip industry replaced the animal ''fat'' with vegetable ''fat'' and I'm not sure they are healthier. Hydrogenated vegetable oils, however, contain trans ''fats'' that can raise the risk of heart disease and other health problems. One thing is certain, nowaday chips remain a popular treat but not for old geezers like me. I'd give an arm and a leg just to eat and savor these ''originals'' full of crispy bubbles at least one more time before I croak. Does anyone else remember the Wise chips brand's flavor of the 60's. What are y'all's opinions?

[@marshallrosen498]

@@JeanPaillard-to1hx I am now 60 and Wise potato chips were my favorite when I was growing up. And yes, they did not contain any hydrogenated oils back then.

[@Cornstalker7273]

@@JeanPaillard-to1hx Chips should only be cooked in lard... that is what gives them that great flavor

[@normalisgone]

Reese's have always been my favorite. I just asked my husband to bring me a Reese's Christmas tree on his way through the kitchen. I opened it, ate it, and then see this video. Hmmm, KZbin is listening!!

[@JustMe-bg3gn]

I'm getting my Reeses tree tomorrow 😊

[@masterpanther1]

I have been known to put an extreme hurting on boxes of these. And I'll do it again!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@ronnieparfait]

Dawg you know how many packs would be missing a cup if I worked there. 🤔😆🤘🏼✌🏼

[@TheReal_JG]

Just work in the Quality Control section.

[@frozenphoenix9502]

I don't know if all factories do this, but all the ones I know in my area will give the employees free product if they've made too much or can't be sold. The factory I work at will give us entire boxes of product to take home sometimes.

[@nickspangler5508]

It would be hard to not get diabetes.

[@MOCHI4LIFEE]

I remember those penny cups more than 65 years ago. they tasted better than todays cups. a quarter got me set for a few days.

[@KarynHill]

Yeah, they're still good but not quite as good as they used to be.

[@joshuawhite9725]

probably because 65 years ago they didn't have a bunch of preservatives and chemicals added.

[@Ray_Steinhart]

I remember counting the extra cups that were stuck together. 😂

[@michaeld.3779]

I've been eating these for 65 years. I love them, of course. However, I get really peeved when I get one (or a bag of them) and the peanut butter interior has turned a light yellow. That means it is no longer soft on the inside, but rather, caked. And stale. This happens more often than you'd think possible over the course of six decades. But most of the time, they are nice and fresh (dark yellow interiors) and, obviously, my favorite candy.

[@pharmztko]

Best “chocolate” candy hands down

[@metallicoustic6733]

Why is chocolate in quotes

[@Sound_Spark]

best candy hands down

[@user-cr3fz8lz2i]

The cups are the best. Seems to be the perfect mix of peanut butter and chocolate. The other Reese’s candies like the bunnies at Easter don’t seem to be the same. Thoughts?

[@texasgrillchef8581]

I like the dark chocolate ones and I like mine refrigerated.

[@marksynhorst5922]

I'm 63 been eating reeses since I was about 5. They have always been my favorite

[@Ephemeral2023]

Unfortunately, I've been successful adhering to a no sugar diet. I live vicariously watching candy videos.

[@jondoe7862]

Its torcher, isn't it?

[@contranimal]

Hershey's makes a few Zero-Sugar products, including a Zero-Sugar Reese's, if you want to check their ingredients and see if they meet that no-sugar diet.

[@Ephemeral2023]

@@jondoe7862 After awhile you get used to it. Same with salt. Pretzels make me sick to my stomach. I can rub off the salt on those big pretzels by rubbing them with a sheet of paper. Small pretzels I will not touch. Salt makes me nauseous.

[@saalank]

Good on you. While chocolate and peanut butter are an irresistible combo, Reese's are just so sweet that it's overwhelming. Sometimes I struggle to finish just one, and I never make it past eating two in one sitting. The chocolate barely tastes like chocolate and is so grainy and lacks the crisp temper of proper chocolate. Home-made chocolate PB goodies are so much better and can be made with reduced sugar and salt (or sugar alternatives). The video says the biggest ingredient is peanuts but that's false. A Reese's PB cup is over 50% sugar by weight.

[@Alicia-cx6fc]

Ive have gotten to where i love the seasonal shaped ones more than the regular cups. There's not think sides of chocolate on them. ❤

[@dannydougin3925]

These were better in the 1970s. The peanut butter was smooth, not like the wet compressed cat litter we have now!

[@wickedcabinboy]

@dannydougin3925 - That's ok. You don't have to buy them. That's just more for the rest of us.

[@StompMom5]

Agreed. I make them at home now and they taste so much better!!

The combo is what is the best. The peanut butter is not the same recipe that gets put into jars. It has a bit of granularity to it. I guess that's a secret!

[@boxsterman77]

You grow up in a town where the Recee's plant is. Some of your friends parents work at the factory. When you graduate from High School, you use those connections to get a job there--like so many of your fellow students. And you raise your family in the town and your children too may work in the factory. Until they close it down and outsource it. Then you Whaaaa! Who saw this coming. I grew up in in a small town in Michigan which had a Welch's plant. I know the drill.
