Reese's Has A Brand New Shaped Peanut Butter Cup Fit For A Champion

Perfect for your Olympics themed parties this summer.

Olympics fans can snack on a new peanut butter-chocolate candy, Reese's Medals, in the run-up to the 2024 Paris Olympics in July and August.

The medal-shaped Reese's come in special packaging with the symbols of the Olympics and Team USA that will make you feel like a champion. Reese's Medals are available now nationwide for a limited time in snack, standard, and king-size packages.

Reese's is trying to hype up the candy's newcomer status by launching a Legend vs. Newcomer campaign to go along with it. The campaign will feature U.S. Olympic and Paralympic gold medalists and hopefuls "to give fans a taste of friendly competition," according to a press release. Fans can tune into @Reeses later in April "to test out how much they really know about each star by guessing which athlete is behind some truly unexpected facts and stories."

"We know that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are legendary among fans—and just like with legendary athletes—there is always room for some friendly competition to bring out the best versions of ourselves," said Shannon Wilkinson, Reese's senior brand manager.

Legends include U.S. Olympic soccer gold medalist Alex Morgan and U.S. Paralympic swimming gold medalist Jessica Long. Newcomers include U.S. Olympic soccer hopeful Sophia Smith and U.S. Paralympic swimming hopeful Haven Shepherd.

If you're not a peanut butter fan, parent company Hershey's is selling Hershey's Kisses Milk Chocolates with patriotic foils and Ice Breakers Limited Edition Golden Pineapple Gum and Mints as well as other products celebrating Team USA. But personally, we find salty peanut butter and sweet chocolate to be a winning combination.
