With Thanksgiving just a little over a week away (where did this year go?) it’s time to start thinking about what foods will be gracing your dinner table (if you haven’t done so already!). On the dessert front, pumpkin, pecan, and apple pie are enduring staples, but Reese’s is making the case for peanut butter and chocolate.
The makers of the iconic peanut butter cup have supersized their OG creation into a 3.4-pound “pie” of solid peanut butter and chocolate. Naming it the Reese’s Thanksgiving Pie, this is the largest Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ever made for sale and it’s only around for a limited time.
The 9-inch pie comes in a festive box adorned with leaves and includes the message “You can thank us later” on the opening flap while “Thankful yet?” can be found on the inside flap. The pie itself comes in a plastic dish that mimics the brown paper wrapping on a regular Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and is sealed in plastic to ensure freshness. The Reese’s Thanksgiving Pie is most definitely made for sharing, and while the suggested serving size may only be 160 calories, there are about 48 servings per pie. If you can’t get through the entire pie this Thanksgiving though, don’t fret — it can be stored at room temperature and has a recommended shelf life of six months.

Definitely too much of a good thing!

This is a brilliant bit of marketing. Don’t think I could deal with such a heavy desert after a turkey dinner, but it is impressive.
Probably enough wax in that ‘pie’ to make a nice candle.
To my eye the image looks photoshopped using a regular sized Resse's Cup.
NOT if it's from pete buttajunk! I'm serious!
We live less than a two hour drive from Hershey Park and Chocolate World. I always come home with bags of goodies. My favorite thing ever was limited edition Kisses with a hazelnut in the middle.
The thinner chocolate coating is why I prefer Peanut Butter pumpkins and trees.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Kit Kats are my weaknesses. (Yes, I am a chocoholic.) I rarely indulge in either one, but every once in a while, I have one or the other.
This, however, is too much of a good thing. 😄

The Reese's Pie is a cool holiday gimmick (but gross).
Looks good but what will everyone else eat?
Fat People
That sounds good!
This could work. The topping looks very soft, almost syrupy.
That texture would match the satin smooth cheesecake, no
‘tortoise shells’ to crunch and grind down.
Nah. I have a friend who made a pie with home-made mincemeat that had venison in it. My aunt made a fine pecan pie with pecans from her own tree. Those are my pie benchmarks.
I put em in the freezer ;)
What is this organic to which you refer?
How about gluten free?
Lactose free?
If you don't eat a regular Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, that is made with what ever they use, why ax about organic?
Chad!
Fish is fussy...
Caught in between dangerous vaccines and pesticides......
Sorry, my diet has changed in the past few months....
