In 1923, The H.B. Reese Candy Company was established in the basement of Reese’s home in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Reese’s (like most other chocolate and peanut butter cups) mixes their finely ground peanut paste with powdered sugar before piping it into cups. This absorbs the peanut oils and changes the viscosity, while the extra sugar helps the candy to melt in your mouth in a different way than normal peanut butter.Reese’s makes so many peanut butter cups each year that it could feed one cup to every person in the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan, China, Africa, and India with its annual production. The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup is considered the “finest creation” of Harry Burnett “H. B.” Reese, a former employee of Hershey’s.
