There are very few people on Earth who do not like peanut butter…well, there are probably more people than I think but my brain just simply won’t allow the thought of people not liking peanut butter to stay in my head for too long!
One thing that all peanut butter fans were recently rejoicing over was the announcement that Reese’s were releasing a 9″ pie-sized peanut butter cup.
However, there were only 3000 of the pies made, meaning they sold out pretty fast.
When they were unveiled just before Thanksgiving, the mammoth peanut butter cups were on sale for $44.99.
After they sold out, and despite the incredibly high demand, a Hershey’s representative told the New York Post , “At this point, we are not expected to release any additional Reese’s Thanksgiving Pies.”
The fact that they have sold out does not mean that you cannot still snaffle one up though!
That being said, if you do still want one then you had better be prepared to pay a substantial sum!
Many people who managed to get their hands on one of the exclusive pies have taken to the likes of eBay to sell their pies at some staggeringly high prices.
Some pies on sale currently are priced between $150 and $350!
With many people still bidding on the pies, the competition remains hot for one of the gargantuan Reese’s cups.
As much as I love peanut butter cups, I cannot see myself spending that much on one single peanut butter cup…even if it is that size.
It is amazing what some people will do for 3.25 pounds of solid peanut butter and chocolate!
Sure, there is probably a way of making one of these behemoth peanut butter cups at home, but who really has the time? I mean, I do, but I’d rather buy one that’s for sure!
Also, if you’re thinking of picking up a Reese’s pie, then you’d better act fast as they’re not only going quick but they won’t stay fresh forever!
