Umm…I might give it another go with the big cups after reading that last comment…but the regular size cups taste like a peanut butter cup ate a banana laffy taffy. Yuck. The King would hate these!! The reason a PB&B sandwich is so good is the REAL banana taste…not this fake crap.

ALERT!! Okay, I love the BIG CUPs of this candy… but I just got a package of the Miniatures…. and they are TOTALLY different. Banana is NOT even an ingredient, and it is a coating only on the outer lower half of the cup… and it tastes like very fake banana. Why couldn’t they have just put a squirt of the banana filling from the Bigger cups? Why? WHY?!!

I’ve had the King size (otherwise known as “Big Cups” for other Reese’s cups) and the standard ones. I’m not sure why, but I much prefer the standards. In fact, I find them dangerously addictive, and increasingly accessible. At first, they were only at one Walgreens in town. In the last few weeks, I’ve found them at another Walgreens, Wal-Mart, and Circle K. I like bananas but I usually hate bananas and chocolate together, but the Elvis cups score big with me–as long as they’re not the King size. Haven’t tried the minis yet, and I might not get to them, since I like the standards so much. In fact, I just finished off a pack after lunch. :-)

I live in New Jersey (Central) does anyone know where to get the elvis collector’s edition of the Reese’s Peanut Butter & Banana Creme candy here? What stores they have them in?

Absolutely Fantastic! I just ran across these in a gas station today, having been drawn in by the King cut-out display. I had to try them…and they didn’t disappoint! I’ve found a new candy addiction! My favorite candy with my favorite flavor combination in one package, and my favorite King! It’s heaven!

Mmmmmmmm, just had my first KING CUP today. The bananna flavor was very subtle. I ate a cold one, and the other out in the 90 degree weather. I enjoyed the warm one a lot more.

It’s me again. I just got back from driving cross country. I can only find these bars at Dollar General. What’s up with that?

Good ol’ Dollar General comes through once more with a special candy item that other stores don’t carry. Yes, the ELVIS CUPS have arrived in Tucson, AZ! (Hmm, wait a minute…that doesn’t sound very appetizing, now does it? Kinda has an athletic assumption none of us really want in our candy).

Well, anyway, I thought this was a great combination of flavors, textures and all-round candy goodness. Being that I like all three featured flavors, I loved this and was able to discern each flavor just fine. I did make sure to eat it indoors (ripped the wrapper off right at the register after I paid for it) since it’s 800 degrees outside here and it ain’t no M&M with it’s protective shell. It would’ve been like eating a Klondike bar on a tanning bed…you get the idea.

Now, as someone who’s actually buttered and fried up her own peanut butter and banana sandwich (after skimming through an Elvis cookbook while hungry), and did indeed drink a big glass of Dutch Chocolate Milk with it, I figured I know what I’m talkin’ ’bout on this ol’ candy bar here. Reese’s has a hit with me and I hope this sticks around. Hey, besides the taste, it’s just plain fun to eat an ELVIS candybar! (Disclaimer: no hip swiveling or lip twitching took place while tasting this candy).
