Since no one is entering our 2020 Halloween Treat Challenge (the first time this has happened since we began in 2009), I wanted to do product review that was Halloween themed for you all. I also want to know if you have tried the new Reese's Franken-Cup and what you thought about them.
Next we see the size difference when I cut them in half but the color is more challenging to see.
The bottom 2/3 of the Franken-Cups are light green color. I think this is a reference to Frankenstein's monster from the book but mostly from the various movie and television versions based on the novel by Mary Shelley.
How do the Halloween variety compare to the regular? Let's find out.
There is a bit of food dye scent on the bottom of the Franken-cup but the top has the same peanut butter and waxy milk chocolate scent as the regular one. The regular one has a strong peanut butter flavor that almost overwhelms the chocolatey flavor. The Franken-Cup has a touch of some other flavor that is more creamy; the chocolatey and peanut butter flavor is about the same. Looking at the ingredients list, the Franken-Cup has a lot more of them; the print size and width is the same but there are three more lines of added ingredients including several types of added oils and diary related ones.
I was hoping these would be awesome but I'm not impressed. I want the dark chocolate versions of Pumpkins and Bats instead!
