Happy Easter everyone! I hope the Easter Bunny brought you all goodies while you slept soundly through the night. A tremendous holiday, yes. It means spring and warm weather are arriving, if you are Catholic/Christian it means our savior has risen! But it also means a tremendous number of Candies and chocolates becoming Easter themed. We’re not going to get into all of them today, but we are going to get into one of, if not the greatest chocolates of all time.
That’s right, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Now Reese’s, like myself, is a big fan of holidays. They are an avid participant in holiday themed Reese’s Cups every single year. But with so many holidays to choose from, it is only right they needed a ranking. And I could think of no better time to give them their correct ranking then Easter Sunday. So, let’s get started.
5. Valentine’s Day Reese’s Cup
Listen, every Reese’s is a great Reese’s. This is a great Reese’s. But compared to the other holidays it just doesn’t match up. I like the elongated cup I do. But a heart is supposed to be more round than oval. This looks like if someone who can’t draw tried to draw a heart on Valentine’s Day (I know from experience.) I think if it was more heart shaped, I’d like it more, but let me reiterate: I want this type of Reese’s every Valentine’s Day because it is fire.
4. Halloween Reese’s Cups
Now I know what you’re all thinking, “how could Halloween come in at 4?” “Halloween is literally a holiday revolving around candy.” “There are three different kinds of Reese’s here, most of the other Holiday’s only have one.” I know. And I just want to say you are all right in thinking that way. The more I see it at 4 the less I like it. But the more I see it there the more it makes sense. And as my hero once said…
The reason Halloween is at four is because even though they have three different Reese’s cups, I feel like the one you only see in stores is the pumpkin. I have never eaten a bat or a ghost, and by the looks of it I would love to eat a ghost. (Pause.) But it looks like it would be a delicious Reese’s cup. And this is no hate on the pumpkin by the way, the pumpkin is perfect, but the next three are just better.
3. The OG Reese’s Cup
While not a holiday cup, it’s your everyday cup. It’s your go to in the candy isle. It is perfect in every way and I know I speak for everyone when I say this, we all appreciate it all year round.
2. Christmas Tree Reese’s Cup
Christmas is fucking awesome, we know this. The lights, the presents, and the Christmas trees. Now I know there is beef between the real and fake Christmas tree crowds, but while we’re all arguing over which Christmas tree we should buy, why don’t we all eat a Christmas tree Reese’s together. Oh, Reese’s Tree, Oh Reese’s Tree, how lovely are your branches. Reese’s nailed it with this shape for the holiday season and if it wasn’t for this next holiday cup this would be number one…
1. Easter Egg Reese’s Cup
The Easter Egg Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the greatest Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups known to man. “Oh, they’re so simple it’s just an oval.” Yeah, they’re simple, simply perfect! Don’t even get me started on if you get the giant Reese’s egg, oh my God! Absolutely delicious! They made it look like an egg, and gave it to us and I am forever thankful. Easily number one if you have a problem with it, take it up with the Easter Bunny.
P.S
Peeps suck. They are a terrible Easter candy and give all the other Easter candies bad names. Fuck Peeps.
