Hershey's Reese's Cups Go Back to Classic Recipes

0:00It's April 1st. Welcome in. This is Dallas News Today, where local news meets AI. Hershey just dropped to big news. Starting next year, every Reese's product will go back to those classic recipes with real milk chocolate or dark. Chocolate and peanut butter. This flip comes right after the founder's grandson called them out for sneaking and cheaper ingredients on some items. A few Reese's treats, like those many Easter eggs, have been using a coating with less actual chocolate. Now Hershey plans to fix that across the board by 2027, while also switching to natural colors and more sweets and making KitKat even. Creamier. They're even boosting research and development spending by 25%. The backlash kicked off with Brad Reese, grandson of the original inventor, who fired off a public letter on Valentine's Day ripping the company for. Ditching the core combo that built the brand's rep, Hershey owns up to tweaking recipes to chase new tastes and deal with sky high cocoa prices hitting the whole industry.

1:00Brad's grandpa, HB, Reese, actually worked at Hershey before launching his own gig in 1919 and inventing the cups in 1928. His fam sold out to them in 1963. Word is, Hershey's all in on delivering with fans crave, so expect these upgrades to hit Shell soon and keep that peanut butter cup legacy strong.
