Reese’s vs Boyer
I had only seen the Palmer version of peanut butter cups so when I found these Boyer (who I’ve only experienced their Mallow Cups) I thought this would, at the very least, be an excuse to eat a Reese’s even if Boyer was a let down.
Reese’s:
The usual awesomeness. Perfectly balanced chocolate with smooth creamy (and not too sweet) peanut butter. There is just something that is so reliably good about these.
Boyer:
As soon we bit into these we could tell they’re weren’t up to speed.
Ethan was disgusted by the chocolate. I didn’t mind the chocolate as much as the peanut butter which seemed to be mostly “filler” of some sort, I have no idea but it was a very weak PB flavor and felt like I was eating crisco or something.
Wrap up:
Sometimes smaller brands are better but not in this case. We both couldn’t get over our issues with the Boyer cups. I wish I could support the little guy in this one but there’s really nothing like a Reese’s.

No question….this has to be the most lopsided battle. Nothing will ever compare to or beat a Reese’s….ever….never ever, period.

For me, Reeces have too much PB and the PB is way too strong, so I would probably go with the Boyers.

Reese’s…the best are the special “holiday” types, such as eggs, pumpkins, and trees!

Reese’s are filled with that gritty, sugary stuff, not peanut butter. Give me a Boyer’s any day.

Reese’s are classic. Boyer’s candy is seriously second rate, especially their chocolate.
I recently did a comparison of Valomilk and Boyer’s Mallo Cups on my site, and there was just no comparison: Valomilk is great, Mallo Cups just taste cheap and nasty.

How did that ‘c’ sneak into the poll? Must have been that awful Boyer at work!
Reese’s is one of the most beloved chocolates around (along with Kit Kat). I don’t know a single person who doesn’t like them.

Who the heck is voting for Boyers? No other peanut butter cup comes close to a Reese’s. Everyone else should just give up.

I really don’t like Reeses products much, although I’m no fan of peanut butter and chocolate. They just taste pretty horrible to me lol

I don’t like Reese’s chocolate. It’s pretty bad.

Same Chocolate taste, firm, chewy texture as a Reeses, nothing fake here (!), same amount of (I almost said peanut!) sunbutter filling - which…if you did a taste test you could actually PREFER SunButter to Peanut Butter!!!

I used to buy Boyers back in the 50’s when I was in Junior High. They were good then, and they had the play money coupons inside.
