Hey everyone! Now, judging by the poll, it looks like a have to pick a favorite for the candy of the week. This week is a favorite.... wining about 44% of the poll so far.... and its..... REESE'S! How can you not love this delicious piece of candy. I mean really, chocolate and peanut butter, 2 of the most delicious things in the world combined to form this candy. Now, I already have had questions about this yummy treat, the first being on how it got its name?Well, to make the questions subside, I will answer it.
As a former employee of Milton Hershey, Harry Burnett Reese was always inspire by Hershey to make his own
candy. He left the Hershey dairy factory where he was working and decided to start his own candy. He experimented with different candies and, before World War II, sold candies called Johnny Bars and Lizzie Bars (caramel like molassas and coconut candy) and his now famous Reese's. During the war, he had to discontinue the other candies and focus on the one that was really selling, the Reese's. By the 40's everyone was familiar with the brown, orange, and yellow packaging and loved the taste. In 1963, the two candy companies (H.B. Reese's and Hershey's) combined to form the American favorite, the Reese's.
