Reese's Whipps

The Hershey Company

The Reese's Whipps is a chocolate shell over a peanut butter sheath, filled with soft nougat. It has the classic Reese's peanut butter flavor familiar to fans of their Cups and Pieces, slightly tangy and softly gritty.

Texture is one of the triumphs of the Reese's Whipps, as all its components are soft, yet the whole turns out to be chewy and satisfying, as if a nougat pillow were wrapped in a cozy peanut butter blanket, then snugly tucked in with a chocolate comforter.
The name, though, is puzzling. Unlike many new candy bars which, when unwrapped, turn out to actually be two smaller bars packaged together, the name "Reese's Whipps" is clearly plural, yet there's just one bar. It's a substantial bar and there's no shame in that, but the name makes us look around for more. We're not quite sure what a "whipps," is—especially if it doesn't involve nitrous oxide—but we know it's plural.

Four stars for flavor and texture, minus 3 points for silly marketing.
