Reese's Peanut Butter Creme Egg (Petrol Station) By @Cinabar

Reese's Peanut Butter Creme Egg


Filling up the car with petrol often comes with a little treat, it's our way of making the expense feel slightly less painful. Today, while browsing the inevitable trays of Easter goodies near the till, I spotted something new: a Reese's Peanut Butter Creme Egg. Most of the other items were the usual suspects, like Creme Eggs, but this one stood out.

The packaging seemed to be designed to resemble a chick, though the crinkled foil on mine made it look like it might be winking. It was slightly smaller than a Cadbury Creme Egg, but still a decent size.

Once unwrapped, the foil design looked much clearer and more polished, though the egg itself didn't continue the chick theme, which I thought was a missed opportunity. Still, it had a subtle patterned design, which was a nice touch.

Biting into it, I was immediately struck by how thick the chocolate was, properly substantial and satisfying. It took a bit of effort to break into, but it was entirely worth it. The chocolate was sweet, creamy, and plentiful, which was a big win for me.

The filling was just as generous, with a strong and delicious peanut butter flavour that complemented the chocolate perfectly. As a fan of the chocolate-to-peanut butter ratio in Reese's products, I really appreciated the thicker chocolate shell here compared to the usual Reese's Cups.

Overall, this Reese's Peanut Butter Creme Egg was a delightful treat, a heavenly combination of thick, creamy chocolate and bold, flavourful peanut butter. If you're a fan of the pairing, I’d highly recommend giving it a try.

I've loved Reese's ever since they started popping up at our local Woolworths around the early 90s (or at least, that's when I discovered them!). The pieces, especially, are nom-tastic! But I tried one of these eggs, last year, and got a killer chocolate-migraine. Whether it's a different type of chocolate or the thickness of the chocolate, I'm not sure. But other Reese's still seem fine, so I'm not sure why that was. Go figure.
I'll stick with the pieces. They're still my favourites.

There is a lot more chocolate than on most of the Reese's products, so much so it was difficult to bite into! So maybe it was that? I like the Reese's Pieces too, and any combination of chocolate and peanut butter to be honest! :D
