Frankenbutter

 

For a long time, Reese's was very adamant that chocolate and peanut butter combined needed to be explained. One thing that doesn't need to be explained is how integral Reese's is to the Halloween experience. We all know how coveted those peanut butter cups are in your trick or treat bag. I'd share some of those Tootsie Rolls, trade a Jolly Rancher... but you'd likely get stabbed over a Reese's. It's such a part of the holiday that the annual bat, pumpkin, and ghosts editions are a tradition almost as important as plastic fangs. There's no mystery as to why the package is orange.

Spooky Snacks For 2020!

New Franken-Cup Reese's are expected to be out for Halloween 2020! From the graphics, these appear to have the classic peanut butter center and a shell made with milk chocolate on top and green crème on the bottom. https://t.co/VAEwk5rCkW pic.twitter.com/d1fmrJnk6I

As the season changes to spring we get some of the first looks at some upcoming Halloween candy. While it may seem early to some of you, it's pretty much right on time. Halloween is big business and the companies start working on the following year literally on November 1st. It's around nowtime that they start airing them out for stores to get those orders in.

Franken-Cup Reese's look positively divine. Themed after Frankenstein, these peanut butter cups have a green creme layer at the bottom of the cup. I'm sure it's just colored white chocolate, but that's enough to add to spooky up a peanut butter cup for the season. Actually Reese's brings the noise every year, so this is just them showing off. When you show the level of dedication they do, it's allowed.

New Chocolate Popcorn M&M's will be out for the Halloween season! As a kid, my friends and I would eat popcorn with M&M's mixed in while watching movies. I hope this captures that great combination of sweet chocolate and salty, buttery popcorn. https://t.co/rEgihPnSiH pic.twitter.com/hhk83voBZt

I can't say I'm super excited for the Chocolate Popcorn M&M's. Not because it sounds bad, it doesn't, it sounds pretty good actually. It. I just have a hard time getting excited for M&M's. Yes, they're good and all. Just... shrug emoji. While you may be asking yourself why would Chocolate Popcorn M&M's be for the Halloween season? Well for starters, with the metric ton of other M&M' varieties released every half second... why not? Most appropriately though, imagine all the horror movie marathons and Halloween specials you'll be taking in during the season. So what's the stereotypical snack for movie watching?
