The Reese’s Fast Break bar has been added to the brand's product portfolio in the UK as a new take on its classic Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to provide consumers with a decidedly more convenient way to enjoy the flavor profile.
The bar has a new composition that's inspired by the brand's peanut butter cups, but offers an alternative taste and texture for snackers to enjoy. The bar thus has blend of milk chocolate, peanut butter and nougat in a bar format that can be easily enjoyed with one hand while out of the house.

Our Reese’s Fast Break bar is perfect for UK consumers seeking both indulgence and on-the-go convenience.”
