Hershey's Reese's Big Cup Chocolate Lava
What it is
This is a large peanut butter cup with a molten chocolate center. It combines the classic flavors of Reese's peanut butter and Hershey's milk chocolate in an oversized format. The unique feature is the gooey, liquid chocolate that flows when the cup is broken open, offering a different texture and experience compared to a standard peanut butter cup.
How people cook with it
This treat is typically enjoyed as a dessert or a special indulgence. It can be eaten straight from the package or incorporated into other sweet creations.

- Sweet snack
- Party treat
- Baking addition
To best enjoy the molten center, it is recommended to consume this treat at room temperature or slightly warmed. Gently breaking it open will reveal the flowing chocolate. It can be eaten as is, or the rich filling can be used to enhance other desserts. For example, it could be melted and drizzled over ice cream or used as a decadent filling for cookies or brownies. The large size makes it suitable for sharing or for a more substantial treat.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a standard Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, this version features a liquid chocolate core. This creates a distinct textural contrast between the creamy peanut butter, the solid chocolate shell, and the warm, flowing center. The larger size also sets it apart, offering a more substantial and dramatic presentation.
Who it is for
This is for anyone who enjoys the combination of peanut butter and chocolate and is looking for a more decadent and exciting treat experience.
How to keep the rest
Store any remaining Reese's Big Cup Chocolate Lava in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is well-sealed to maintain freshness. Avoid refrigerating unless the ambient temperature is very high, as this can affect the texture of the chocolate and peanut butter filling.
