I happen to love Reese's mini Peanutbutter cups. Can't seem to get enough of them. My husband bought a big bag the other night and they are gone. Yep, I ate every one of those little ditties in two nights. Which do you prefer?

Reese's Peanut butter Cups or Reese's Pieces? I love both of them, but I would have to say peanut butter cups. I will go through a whole bag of them in a few days myself. I try not to buy them too often though because I will eat them so fast. A lot of times when I am at the grocery store I will grab one off the shelf and eat it in the car on the way home.

I just can't seem to like the Reese's Pieces. Peanutbutter cups, on the other hand, don't stand a chance..lol Thanks for responding.

I like the pieces for baking and putting in cookies.

I prefer the regular size peanut butter cups. Reese's Pieces are quite tasty, but they're better for a "once in a while" treat, in my opinion. The mini cups are good, but don't have enough peanut butter, and the big cups are good as well but sometimes can be too much peanut butter, so the regular size is a good medium :)

Thanks for the good explanation and responding to this discussion. I am a mini peanutbutter cup freak since I eat them all the time.

I love my peanut butter cups. It tastes better, at least for me. And it came first, I think.

I've tried a couple of times to eat Reese's Pieces but just don't care for them. I am crazy about the peanutbutter cups and don't use good judgement when eating them. Thanks for responding.

I prefer Reese's Peanut Butter Cups over Reese's Pieces. I like the mini's as well as the full size cups, though I usually get the full size when I remember to get them.

I started on another bag last night and they are half gone. I need to quit this but they are so good. I can eat them anytime of the day, including early morning. Thanks for responding.

I prefer Reese's Pieces. I can't stand the regular sized peanut butter cups, but I like the mini ones as well. Strange, but I think they taste different. I never buy them, but when someone at work has them in their candy dish, I can't walk by without taking one. (we share candy at work)

Reese's is one of the best peanut butters that have every came out. Have you tried the peanut butter spread and the cerceal too. They taste just like the cup and the pieces.

No, I didn't know Reese's made a peanutbutter spread or cereal. Thanks for the information and for responding to this discussion.

Reese's Minis! - I love these peanut butter cups
I prefer Reese's mini peanut butter cup to the original sized one and to the pieces. It just has that certain texture to it. I could sit with a bag of them and munch on it all night as well. But I actually have a recipe for peanut butter bars that tastes just like the candy so I am nearly always making them! I usually make a batch every week, but these days I've decided to cut down on the sweet so I make it every other week now.

I've tried pieces a couple of times and just didn't like them. I get a little childish when it comes to peanutbutter cups and don't know when to quit. Thanks for responding.

I love those and if I bought a bag I think I would eat them all w/ out even knowing it. I tend to eat while on my computer at times and lose track of just how much I've been eating them. Befor I know it I only have a couple left. I know all that chocolate isn't good for me and I need to monitor it more often. It's addicting and can't help it.

I eat them also while on the computer and tend to overeat them. And the next day I do the same thing. Yes, they are addicting. Might have to start a support group for peanutbutter cup eaters...lol Thanks for responding.

Personally for the most part, I would definately have to say Reeses Pieces and love the Eggs they come out with at Easter time as well. I know it is the peanut butter and being able to allow them to melt in your mouth some that works the most for me. But having a regular Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is good from time to time for sure.

I call chocoloate my heart medicine. In moderation it's healthy. However there are times I get a bit carried away and eat too much. Thanks for responding.

Peanut butter cups! I love biting into them and getting to the squishy peanut butter filling...it melts in your mouth. It is also my son's favorite candy bar...so if I have some here I don't have to worry about gorging myself....he comes and they are gone in a minute!

I don't use good judgment when I have a bag of the mini peanutbutter cups in the house. I even wake up in the middle of the night and eat them. Now that's bad. Thanks for responding.

I like the big Reese's peanut butter cups. Reeses pieces remind me too much of M and Ms.

I can eat more of the mini peanutbutter cups so it really fills my tummy full of chocolate and curbs that craving. Thanks for responding.

wow, I am actually craving for those now!.. I think the last time I had Reese's Peanutbutter Cups was 3 weeks ago? Too bad nobody can buy it for me...XP Anyway, I love Reese's Peanutbutter Cups. :) I think I haven't eaten yet Reese's Pieces..-_-

I've tried Reese's Pieces a couple of times and don't like them. I will ask my husband to stop on his way home from work once in awhile and pick up a bag of the mini peanutbutter cups for me. I'm lucky in that respect. By the next day they are half gone if not more. Thanks for responding.

My favourite is the peanut butter cups. They are actually my biggest weakness. If they are in the house, they are not safe from me. LOL I would never turn down Reese's Pieces, but they aren't something I'll buy when I can buy the other.
