Youre not wrong for thinking those tree, egg, and pumpkin-shaped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups taste better.

So why do the shapes taste so much better than the original?

People have been sharing their opinions online for years.

For one, the shapes are larger than the cups but use about the same amount of chocolate.

That means the rest of the area is filled with extra peanut butter filling (yum).

Secondly, the traditional cups also have large ridges around the edges.

However, if youre more of a chocolate lover, you might prefer traditional cups.

Devoted peanut butter lovers should mark their calendars for Valentines Day.

Keep your Reeses in the freezer to extend the life of your peanut butter cups up to 24 months.
