Have you bought any of the Reese's candy they're putting out for Easter? They don't taste right. The Hersey's company claims they haven't touched the basic chocolate and peanut butter recipes but, on the packaging it says "chocolate flavored coating and peanut butter paste" instead of "milk chocolate coating and peanut butter filling". Pretty bought some of their Chocolate Easter eggs with peanut butter paste... YUCK! We don't either one like this new formulation! I had to go find their site and complain about the taste difference. Supposedly, nobody else had registered complaints about the new formulation... Well, they have a complaint now!

I don't buy those eggs. We like the little Lindt chocolates for chocolate and robin eggs.

I don't know anything about Lindt chocolates. Usually the Hershey's chocolates are delicious.

Glad you complained and that it’s on the record. I’m not a fan of Hershey except when I need it to make s’mores. I do love the large Cadbury cream filled eggs.

Hershey's makes those Cadbury Creme Eggs here, too. If you didn't notice the difference in 2015, then you'll be happy to know they didn't change them again.

@DaddyEvil To be honest, I only had one or two well before 2015. My son used to love them, and I don’t care much for sweets. I also don’t celebrate Easter.

@DianneN We don't celebrate holidays, either, but we do like to sample the different styles of candy that come out for the holidays.

@allen0187 I have different kinds of chocolate in my bedroom closet that I bought before I fell and had to go to the hospital. (Milk Duds, Milky Way bars, Butterfingers and Whoppers.) That's enough chocolate to last me several months. But thank you anyway.

I love chocolates but am not allowed to have any until after I see the neurologist in September.

I didn't think to do a complaint and think I will too. They are horrible! I loved to buy them and freeze, eating right out of the freezer. They are awful and taste very off.

Unfortunately, Pretty bought a five pack of eggs. We don't know what to do with the other three. We sure won't eat them!

It's like everything else. They cheapen down the products, charge the same amount and hope the consumer won't notice. I'm glad you complained.

True and we know not to buy the specialty stuff anymore. Anything that is holiday driven has been changed now.

How dare they change the taste! Check the label and see if they came from outer mongolia.

My husband recently had some Whoppers that he said tasted like they had soap in them. We called in and they give us some free coupons, but my husband doesn’t want anymore Whoppers and he has always loved them.

@wolfgirl569 There are some specialty stuff we buy before the holiday and then stock up after the holiday. We won't be doing that anymore.

Ah sad you had a bad experience with this particular candy. The only chocolate I haven't liked so far is Five-star ( a name of a chocolate here in India ...kinda popular).I don't like its sticky feeling.

The regular cups are supposed to still be the same formula. We'll have to stick to those from now on. You're very welcome.

I'm sorry they changed the taste. I don't do Reese's. I wouldn't even if I wasn't allergic to peanuts. It sounds gross.

Until this year, they tasted the same as a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Now they don't taste like that at all!

I don't like peanut butter unless it's in a cookie or in candy. Thanks. I'll just have to have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups instead of the holiday candy.
