Reese's announced that it has relaunched its signature Peanut Butter Footballs for the 2022 football season. Theses snacks will only be available for a limited time at participating retailers at an MSRP of $1 for a 1.2-oz snack and $2 for the upscaled King Size peanut butter cups.
These snacks feature the same chocolate exterior and peanut butter mixture interior as traditional Reese's cups, but in the shape of a football, even featuring the finger grip stitching on the face of the chocolate treats. It is important to note that Reese's uses milk chocolate in its recipe, so these treats are not lactose-free.
These snacks can be found in stores and online at various third-party retailers, while supplies last.
