Reese's peanut butter cups are a popular dessert in the United States that combines the sweetness and creamy texture of peanut butter with the irresistible flavor of chocolate. This treat originated in the 1920s when H.B. Reese, a former employee of Hershey, created this confection which quickly gained popularity for its unique flavor and practical size.
In Latin America, although they are not always known as "Reese's," similar variants exist that are equally appreciated under names such as "peanut butter cups" or simply "peanut butter chocolates." In some countries, peanut butter is mixed with chocolate to form bars or small similar sweet bites, adapting the recipe to local ingredients and taste preferences.
