Compared to standard Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, these egg-shaped versions offer a slightly different peanut butter to candy shell ratio due to their form.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are kept in an airtight container or their original packaging to prevent them from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors. Avoid refrigerating, as this can alter the texture of the candy shell and peanut butter filling.
