The ORIGINAL Reese Piece

Manufactured by Hershey

Here's a fun piece of candy trivia:

Did you know that Reese Piece's were NOT the original choice for ET's favorite snack

Initially, M&M® Mars was approached by the famed director Stephen Spielberg who suggested using M&M's®

The company politely declined his offer and Spielberg later contacted Hershey Chocolate Company with the suggestion that they use Hershey's Kisses

Hershey's declined this suggestion but suggested a newly released product called Reese Pieces which was catapulted to prominence by it's association with this beloved extraterrestrial

Approximately 60 pieces per pound
