The Reese’s Outrageous Bar is the latest candy bar creation from the brand that contains a number of ingredients that are sure to satisfy consumers looking for a sweet treat that's unlike what's presently available.
The chocolate candy bar consists of a rich peanut butter center that has been covered in Reese's Pieces candies and caramel before being covered in smooth milk chocolate. This makes it a tasty hybrid variation on the brand's other treats.
While the Reese’s Outrageous Bar won't be available on the market until May 2018, the brand offered an exclusive preview for fans in Royal Oak, Michigan where 30,000 samples were given out on Sunday, October 29. The chocolate candy comes as a result of consumer demand for classic products being given something of an unexpected makeover.
