Before the Easter bunny hops into people’s homes later this Spring, Reese’s is ready to lay a huge treat at everyone’s doorstep. These special Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs have more than a dozen reasons to place an order now.

Reese’s joined the shaped candy trend long before it took over the shelf. While other Hershey’s candy brands have adopted fun visuals for their seasonal offerings, the classic peanut butter and chocolate candy has been a big supporter of changing its look. From the Halloween pumpkins to Christmas trees, and even some Olympic medals, the brand has happily transformed that classic food.

While there have been various shapes throughout the years, the classic “eggs” have always been a favorite. Years ago, many people happily hid a few dozen in the back of the freezer under behind the vegetables to satisfy that craving during the summer.

This year, Reese’s is going all in on those eggs and offering people a gigantic serving. Sold exclusively on the Hershey’s website, the 3-pound bag of Reese’s eggs is available now. Selling for $34.99, it is a dream come true for some people. No more stealing treats from the kids’ Easter baskets. Everyone can eat to their heart’s content.

Although it is unclear how many individually wrapped Reese’s candies are in the box, it is a substantial amount. More importantly, Hershey’s made a smart decision to make this special package a box of individually wrapped candies. While some people might dream of a 3-pound Reese’s Egg, that gigantic treat would be best shared with a group.

For now, the 3-pound box of Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs is available. But, like all great seasonal offerings, it will hop on by before the first Spring bloom. Better to buy now than be sorry later.
