Hershey’s addresses claims that company changed Reese’s recipe
www.wlbt.com
The grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups has lashed out at The Hershey Co., accusing the candy company of hurting the Reese’s brand by shifting to cheaper ingredients in many products.

Some of their peanut butter cups have zero real chocolate even in them now, just synthetic chocolate. Have you noticed how much more oily they are and how the taste has changed? Yep, that’s increases in vegetable oil.

I can say though that the peanut butter cups sold by aldi are still a solid choice and a bag runs about $6.

    How long until it has no chocolate in it? Enshittification has become so aggressive that supply chains and processes that used to be needed to make the product have been diminished or eliminated and so it becomes specialized. You want actual chocolate in your chocolate? That’ll be $100 a piece.
