History of the Reese’s Chocolate Company Reese’s is a popular candy company that was “established” somewhere around 1920 by H. B. Reese. It has become a favorite among the many great chocolate companies. Reese was born on a dairy farm owned by his parents, Aquilla Asbury and Annie Belinda Reese, on the 24th of May in the year 1879, in York County, Pennsylvania.

He did exactly what Reese’s sons had done, and kept everything the same that was already there, including Reese’s famous Peanut Butter Cups, also known as Penny Cups which cost only one penny at the time, thus the name.

Reese’s candies and cereal have been produce across the country and even in other nations around the world. They have had various adaptations and modifications such as the Easter versions, Christmas versions, even the limited edition Dark Knight Trilogy versions when owners shaped the Peanut Butter Cups like Batman’s deadly signature weapon, the batarang. What will they come up with next? It will be hard to top any cups or the puffs. What were they even thinking anyway? Candy for
