About Candies, REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are built around one famous combination: a disc of sweet-and-salty peanut butter inside a milk-chocolate shell. That peanut butter center gives them a distinctly savory, slightly gritty texture and makes them one of the higher-protein candies on the shelf, at around 10 grams per 100 grams.
They are also one of the richer ones. Per 100 grams Reese's cups carry about 515 calories and roughly 30 grams of fat — more than most plain chocolate bars — with around 47 grams of sugar. A standard two-cup pack weighs about 42 grams, so it lands near 215 calories and 20 grams of sugar. The peanut butter also pushes the sodium up, to a noticeably salty 357 milligrams per 100 grams.
The peanut butter brings a little extra protein and some minerals, but these are candy first and foremost. The smaller Miniatures and Thins are handy if you want the same peanut-butter-and-chocolate hit in a smaller, more controllable portion.
