We first mentioned the “Elvis Cup” about six months ago and it made a small splash in the internet candy world at the time. The new Reese’s are set to release to the world next month and we received a shipment of them to give our readers a sneak peek at what to expect.
The Elvis Cup is a Reese’s cup with an additional layer of banana creme below the peanut butter. The banana tastes just like they put a real banana slice in there – they absolutely nailed the taste of a banana. Banana flakes are listed on the wrapper so the taste is real bananas.
I am not a big fan of bananas in general (except banana Runts), so I really didn’t think I’d like these much. They definitely aren’t my favorite, but they are pretty good, even with the banana flavor. I can see a lot of people that like banana really enjoying these. The mixture of chocolate, banana, and peanut butter is not one I would think would mix well, but it actually does.
Reese’s have really taken the “Limited Edition” title to a new level as these packages are labeled “Collector Edition”. “Hawaiian” Elvis is on the “King” size packs, regular size has two Elvis images – young Elvis and another “mature” Elvis, and the miniature packs have young Elvis in black with a guitar. Collectible? Why, yes – and tasty too!
The Elvis Reese’s Cups should be available on store shelves sometime in July in mini, standard, and “King” size. get them while you can – whether you are a fan of Elvis or just love the taste of bananas and peanut butter. If you want to enjoy them before they hit stores, check out the collectible Elvis Cup Tin at Hershey’s Gifts.
