where are the Reese's Pumpkins?????

[java]

Not a one to be found anywhere! Did I miss some shortage? or gasp- do they no longer make them?
I was able to find the smaller ones in a mixed bag (ugh had baby ruths in there - who eats those???)
I want the full size Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkin! I'll drive to Hershey if I have to!

Come to think of it, I haven't seen them either. I love those.

I just saw them in the gas station minimart yesterday, single pumpkins only, no multipacks.

I saw the individuals at Walgreens.

I was a good girl and left them there.. LOVE those things!

I just saw the multipacks in our Publix grocery yesterday

 

[Diznygrl]

I bought a six pack of them at Walmart at the beginning of the month. Maybe it's a bit late in the game for them to be in high supply, but rest assured they DO still exist!

We have them at my store. I love the holiday Reese's since they seem to have more peanut butter in them.

Our Publix store has them, too. I never knew they made them, but if they're anything like the eggs, I need some!!!!! For some reason, I don't like the Christmas trees as much.

No Publix here or a Walgreens actually.

I'll try the gas station. I checked the grocery stores target, wamart and came up with Nothing!

Oh and I've been looking since Sept. Only now has it turned into a panic.

I wonder if they'll make a Christmas tree Reeses! mmmmmm I also am a big fan of the Egg!

I have seen them all around by us. Many of the places have now sold out. I love them.

We'll take your Baby Ruths!

I saw the full-size Reese's pumpkins listed in one of the drugstore ads this past week, but I haven't actually looked for them. Sorry!

 

[jacksonsmom]

I haven't seen them either now that you said something!
I love those things...maybe it's good I haven't seen them

I saw them yesterday at Wal-mart in the 6 pack.

I used to love those things, but I haven't even looked for them this year. Since I found out that the "chocolate" coating on the Reeses Eggs is now "mockolate" (fake chocolate) I just assumed the other seasonal ones would be, also. For now I think that the normal cups are still real chocolate, so I'm sticking with those until they also switch to mockolate.

I walked down the "seasonal" aisle at our supermarket yesterday. On my left was Halloween candy (with Reese's pumpkins) and on my right was Christmas candy (with Reese's trees). Gads.

They're not all "mockolate"... I can't find the article but I read something around Easter this year that they are making both. I got up and looked and the 6-pack I had was the real chocolate and the individuals I'd picked up at a local gas station were the mock.

I wish I could find the article again.

I heard that Hershey was no longer going to produce candy in PA, and was moving it's factory to Mexico. Maybe they have two factories right now, and the real stuff is still in PA, but the mock's in Mexico.

Thank you! I googled and found this: http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/reeses_eggs/ , which is actually where I first heard about the switch, but I had forgotten that there were multiple versions floating around. I guess I assumed that it meant they were transitioning over to all mock. I'm glad you found some real ones! I think that means there's a grocery store (or two, or three, or however many it takes till I find real chocolate Reeses pumpkins) in my future today.

That's a good theory - you could be onto something there! Hopefully I can find some PA ones in my town. I do love those things but I'm boycotting mockolate, so I'll be very happy if I can find some real ones.

I went to (I kid you not) 6 stores before I could finally find the Reese's pumpkins this year. I couldn't find them in Manhattan, but finally did when I went out to NJ (they were in a Walgreens).
