Reese's Made a Pie-Size Peanut Butter Cup for Thanksgiving
You're looking at 3.4 pounds of chocolate and peanut butter

Reese’s made a really big peanut butter cup for Thanksgiving: 9 inches in diameter, the pie-size product is 3.4 pounds of chocolate and peanut butter. Might have to lay off the cranberry sauce to make room for a slice.
According to Reese’s, which is owned by the Hershey Company, this is the largest peanut butter cup it’s ever made. Do you have any doubts? The giant object contains 48 individual servings—at 160 calories each.
Consumers with space available on their Thanksgiving Day table can order one of these intense peanut butter cups on Hershey’s website for $44.99 plus tax. But better hurry: The company is only making 3,000 of them.
As big as the peanut butter cup is, this Thanksgiving might be even bigger—at least in terms of consumer spending.
During the three-week period ending Oct. 31, shoppers spent more on traditional Thanksgiving goods such as turkeys, stuffing and pie filling than in past years, according to figures from market research firm IRI.
“More than ever before, consumers are planning ahead for Thanksgiving by shopping early for key items,” Krishnakumar Davey, president of client engagement at IRI, said in a statement.
Brands like to have fun
Silly brand stunts are fun, but they can also grab people’s attention.
In September, Jones Soda released a turkey and gravy-flavored beverage. KFC just debuted what it called a Finger Lickin’ Chicken Mitten Bucket Hugger. Lots of brands—from SunnyD to Vita Coco to Pizza Hut—are manufacturing their own lines of apparel, too.
Earlier this month, Reese’s began selling a jumbo product called Super King that contains six cups. At 12 inches in length, it is sizable, but still smaller than Reese’s pie-size peanut butter cup.

Damn sold out. I totally would have bought one. I don’t eat candy often anymore but Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a guilty pleasure I indulge in sometimes. That and See’s butterscotch squares are my only candy weaknesses.

I have a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in my fridge. I use to say I'll only eat 2 or 3 and end up eating half a bag at a time. I'm weaning off. The last bag has been in the fridge for almost a month. It's only 3/4 gone. It's my only candy vice. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I never was too bad, but I removed almost all sugar and simple carbs from my diet....and it was the best thing I ever did. I do keep a small bag/package of Sugar Free mini Reese cups in the pantry that have "sugar alcohols" in them, and I use them every once in a while after a meal to get a taste out of my mouth. I know there is some debate about the sugar alcohols, but I eat a max of 1 or 2 a day which is less than a serving.

Saw a news report where one of those "pies" was going for $450 on ebay....and bids were still climbing. I do not get it....why not just buy a 10 pack of Reese Cups for $10ish?

There are recipes where you can actually make a copy cat one there are ones that are healthier versions out there(although I'm not sure how healthy it can be but I digress...)
