To prepare for this review of Reese’s Werewolf Tracks, I tried to immerse myself in lycanthropy to try to figure out what on earth this new candy has to do with werewolves. I watched The Wolf Man (1941) and listened to various werewolf songs. But I still can’t figure it out.
It’s just an ordinary Reese’s, except that the top is vanilla-flavored white creme. So here are the possibilities I have come up with:
Questionable Halloween connection aside, how are they?
Eaten directly, the peanut butter cup does not taste all that different from a regular Reese’s cup. Vanilla-flavored creme just doesn’t impart that much flavor.
When I nibble the top off to try to isolate the creme, it just tastes like the white confection you can find in countless other candies. Nothing about it reminds me of actual vanilla.
I also should add that this is not the first time Reese’s has made a similar candy. It did the Franken-Cup, which had green-colored creme, and the Easter-themed Mallow-Top, which had a marshmallow-flavored top. And really, what even is marshmallow flavor? Green-colored creme, marshmallow-flavored creme, and vanilla-flavored creme don’t seem all that different from each other. This is just a boring candy.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a top-tier confection, and if this were a brand-new treat, I would give it 10/10 based on taste alone. But this is simply a variation on a classic, and it’s just not that interesting or special.
