Recently, Hershey’s announced the “Elvis Cup”, a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup that includes a layer of Banana Creme. You may or may not know (if say, you’re blind), but Elvis loved to eat. One of his favorite foods was fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, thus the inspiration for the new Reese’s cup. Hershey’s just added some chocolate and took away the fried aspect (though I’m sure a local county fair can help you with the fried aspect.)
This “limited edition” candy is being made in honor of the 30th Anniversary of The King’s passing. The candy will be on your shelves sometime in July ‘07, while Elvis’ actual date of death is August 16th. The candy, which will come in mini, standard and “king size”, will also include an instant win contest for a trip for two to Graceland.

February 10th, 2007 at 3:13 pmCan’t wait to try this new flavor, as a tribute to Elvis. I love Reese cups anyway, and this sounds like a great flavor to try. Hope that all the grocers carry it.
March 20th, 2007 at 8:59 pmhave not tried it yet but love the voice of Jamie Aaron Kelley who does Elvis, will buy lots just to hear him sing
April 15th, 2007 at 5:01 pmjust ate one. it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 20th, 2007 at 3:42 amI just bought one and it was SOOOOO delicious! I wish Hershey’s would consider keeping this on the market beyond the limited edition.
Does anyone know if all the different packages are out yet? The Hershey’s site says there will be ones featuring Elvis in different outfits but the only one I can find in the Phoenix, Arizona area are of Elvis wearing the white jumpsuit.
