Foiled again by these un-foiled Easter animals!
Yes, Reese’s Puffs’ go-to spring seasonal shapes, Bunnies, have returned once more. And while I love the things for their increased surface area and the cocoa-catching crevasses of their angular anatomy, I was hoping we’d finally get the PB-stuffed Reese’s Puffs Eggs I’ve been dreaming of ever since I first dunked a real oblong Easter Reese’s into a tall glass of Peeps nectar.
(Okay, I didn’t actually use the Peeps juice. You ever try milking one of those things?)
While the actual bite-sized Bunnies appear to be the same, this year’s boxes strip away the old pastel pastiche that mimicked Reese’s other Easter wrappers in favor of a classical brand styling that’s more in line with the cereal’s other limited edition holiday Puff sculpts. Being a washed-up warrior of washed-out colors, I’m a little disappointed by this decision, but I suppose cheerful yellow doesn’t have much place in a cereal known for being an impulsively grabbed orange eye-catcher—it’s the veritable Krispy Kreme Hot Light of the breakfast aisle.
That is of course, unless you add Peeps Coffee Creamer.
Thanks to Dominic C. for the real-life proof. If you have a new cereal find of your own, feel free to hop over to our Submissions page.
