Reese was determined to create his own candy business, and in 1928, he founded the H.B. Reese Candy Company in his basement. He started experimenting with different recipes, trying to come up with the perfect combination of ingredients. And, as we all know, he eventually stumbled upon the perfect pair: peanut butter and chocolate.
But, when exactly did the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup make its debut? Well, it was in 1928, the same year Reese founded his company, that he introduced his now-famous candy. Initially, it was called the Penny Cup, because it only cost a penny to buy one. Talk about a steal of a deal!
So, what made Reese's Peanut Butter Cups so popular? Was it the irresistible taste or the affordable price? Maybe it was the combination of both? Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have become a beloved classic in the world of candy.
