    Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

    The Holy Grail of trick-or-treating! The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is a brand of candy filled with peanut butter and a chocolate cover, marketed by The Hershey Co. They were created in 1928 by H. B. Reese, a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey. Reese was inspired by Hershey, so he left the dairy farm to start his own candy business. The H. B. Reese Candy Co. was established in the basement of Reese's house in Hershey, Pa., and used Hershey chocolate in his confections. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were his most popular candy, and Reese eventually discontinued his other lines. Several years after his death, Reese's company was sold to the Hershey Co., then known as Hershey Foods Corp., in 1963 for $23.5 million.
