Snack lovers, brace yourselves — two of the most beloved names in the junk food universe have officially joined forces. Reese’s and Oreo have stepped into the same kitchen, put their iconic flavors together, and unleashed not one, but two new treats into the world.
And yes, I got my hands on a sample pack before the official release. Hershey’s came through like a snack fairy godmother, and I dove right in so you wouldn’t have to wait until September to know whether these are worth the hype. Spoiler: they are. But also… one of them completely ran away with my heart (and my taste buds).
The Collab We’ve Been Begging For
Let’s be real — snack mashups aren’t new, but there’s something different about this one. Reese’s and Oreo aren’t just brands; they’re cultural staples. Reese’s has been perfecting the peanut butter-and-chocolate combo for decades, while Oreo has been the gold standard of twist-and-dunk cookies for over a century.
Fans have been creating their own versions of this pairing for years — crumbling Oreos over Reese’s cups, smearing peanut butter between Oreo halves, you name it. Speculation online was relentless: Why isn’t this an official thing yet? Apparently, the snack gods heard us, because now it’s here in all its glory.
Hershey’s is blessing us with two products in this launch:
- The Reese’s Oreo Cup – The classic peanut butter cup gets a makeover, swapping part of its milk chocolate shell for white Oreo crème, and packing in crunchy Oreo cookie bits.
- The Oreo Reese’s Cookie – The beloved chocolate sandwich cookie filled with layers of peanut butter crème and Oreo cookie crumbs.
Both are rolling out nationwide in early September 2025, with pre-orders already live for the diehards. The Reese’s Oreo Cup will stick around permanently, while the Oreo Reese’s Cookie is a limited run — though Oreo plans to make it part of their regular lineup starting January 2026.
But enough about availability — let’s talk about what they taste like.
The Reese’s Oreo Cup – An Instant Favorite
Let me just say this up front: this was the star of the show for me. The moment I unwrapped it, I could tell it was going to be special. That half milk chocolate, half white crème shell looked like it came straight out of a snack lover’s daydream.
The first bite was a game-changer. You still get the familiar salty-sweet punch of a classic Reese’s, but now it’s layered with this smooth, sweet white crème that instantly reminds you of Oreo’s cookies-and-cream vibe. The crunchy bits of Oreo inside add texture in the best way possible — little bursts of chocolatey crunch against the creamy peanut butter center.
It’s not just a Reese’s with sprinkles; it’s a whole new flavor profile. Imagine a Cookies & Cream Reese’s cup that still delivers that iconic peanut butter hit, but also gives you something extra to chew on. It’s indulgent without being too sweet, familiar yet surprising, and dangerously easy to keep eating.
I could be wrong, but I think this might be one of the best product variations Reese’s has ever put out. Yeah, I said it.
The Oreo Reese’s Cookie – Subtle, But Solid
Now, let’s talk about the other half of this collab: the Oreo Reese’s Cookie. On paper, this one had me intrigued — a classic Oreo with layers of peanut butter crème and cookie crumbs? Sign me up.
Flavor-wise, it’s good… but it’s definitely more subtle than I expected. The chocolatey crunch of the Oreo cookie is still front and center, and the peanut butter flavor takes more of a supporting role. If you’re looking for a full-on Reese’s flavor punch, this one plays it cool.
What it does remind me of is a more chocolate-heavy version of the Girl Scouts’ Do-Si-Do cookies — that same peanut butter-and-cookie combo, but with Oreo’s darker, richer cocoa profile running the show. It’s tasty, it’s snackable, and it’s exactly the kind of cookie you could accidentally eat half a sleeve of without realizing it.
The only reason it didn’t take the crown for me is because the Reese’s Oreo Cup came out swinging with a bolder, more complex flavor mix. The Oreo Reese’s Cookie plays it safe — still good, but not life-changing.
Final Verdict: One’s Legendary, One’s Just Good
If this collab was a buddy cop movie, the Reese’s Oreo Cup would be the loud, charismatic partner stealing every scene, while the Oreo Reese’s Cookie would be the steady, dependable sidekick. Both have their place, but one’s definitely getting all the quotable lines.
The Reese’s Oreo Cup is easily my favorite — a perfect blend of familiar and new, with texture and flavor that makes you want another bite before you’ve even finished the first. The Oreo Reese’s Cookie is still worth trying, especially if you’re more of a cookie purist or prefer your peanut butter in smaller doses.
My advice? Grab both when they hit shelves in September. That way you can see which team you’re on — Team Cup or Team Cookie. But if you ask me, the Cup is the one I’ll be hoarding like a snack-prepper before a snowstorm.
This collab isn’t just a gimmick. It’s a legit snack innovation, and if this is the start of Reese’s and Oreo working together more often, I’m here for it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have another Reese’s Oreo Cup to “review.” For science.
