Reese's Spreads: All the great Reese's taste in a spread

Nutella beware, there is another chocolaty spread that is making it's ways into people's pantry and it's called REESES. Now before you get all upset this one is a little different, it has peanut butter with the chocolaty goodness. By different do I mean better? Well that depends on your taste.

Now I was asked by a company to taste this new spread and share my thoughts. This request was a no-brainer. Of course I am going to sample some chocolate and peanut butter spread. I will tell you at first taste I thought it was spectacular. It tasted just like the inside of a peanut butter cup. So now you can put Reese's peanut butter cups on your pretzels, apples, bananas, celery, whatever you usually put peanut butter or chocolate on. It has many different options. Then there was my second taste.

Still good, but there was a texture I didn't like. Kinda gritty- so I figure that is the peanut butter factor.

I asked my four children to try. They were mixed. The 10 year old girl, who loves peanut butter, loved it. The 13 year old, who loves Reese's didn't. The 5 year old boy didn't care for it, but my 8 year old girl, couldn't stop dipping her fingers in it.

There you have it. The grittiness was a turn off for me, but the taste was good. Very sweet, but other chocolate spreads are too. It was a little harder to spread because of it's texture, but not impossible. It smells great, and the container is very attractive.

So What would Mrs. Cleaver do? Well let's consider the price- you know Beaver and Wally's mom was on a budget. The price of Reese's chocolate peanut butter spread is comparable to other chocolate spreads. Price is not a factor when it comes to which one we would buy. Suger is high in all of these spreads, so that is something to take a look at. I don't know how much Mrs. Cleaver would have cared about sugar, but now a days, we know too much sugar is not a good thing. After take a look at the labels the sugar is about the same too. Nutella is a little higher, but it's not enough for me to pick one over the other. I would say it comes down to the taste and in my house, we are not buying Reese's  spread. My children love the smooth chocolate spread: Nutella.

I loved the opportunity to try this spread, and if I have a coupon I would buy it again. It's just not going to be my go to chocolate spread. #REESE'SSpreadnotbadjustnotthebest
