Reese's Fast Break is a popular candy bar produced by The Hershey Company. It was first introduced in 1978 and has since become a beloved treat among chocolate and peanut butter enthusiasts. The candy bar consists of a layer of creamy peanut butter nougat topped with a layer of smooth milk chocolate.

History[edit | edit source]

Reese's Fast Break was created as a spin-off of the iconic Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The idea behind the candy bar was to combine the delicious flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in a different format. The name "Fast Break" was chosen to evoke the idea of a quick and satisfying snack.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredients of Reese's Fast Break include:

  • Peanut butter: The creamy peanut butter filling is made from roasted peanuts, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oil, and salt. It provides the distinct nutty flavor that Reese's products are known for.
  • Nougat: The nougat layer is a soft and chewy mixture made from corn syrup, sugar, water, and egg whites. It adds a fluffy texture to the candy bar.
  • Milk chocolate: The outer layer of Reese's Fast Break is made from a blend of milk chocolate, which contains cocoa butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa solids. It provides a rich and smooth chocolate coating.

Taste and Texture[edit | edit source]

Reese's Fast Break offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The creamy peanut butter nougat provides a smooth and nutty taste, while the milk chocolate coating adds a sweet and velvety richness. The nougat layer adds a chewy texture that complements the creaminess of the peanut butter and chocolate.

Popularity[edit | edit source]

Reese's Fast Break has gained a significant following since its introduction. Its popularity can be attributed to the enduring appeal of the Reese's brand and the irresistible combination of peanut butter and chocolate. The candy bar is often enjoyed as a quick snack or a sweet treat to satisfy cravings.
