A piece of work



From back when when ET chose Reese's Pieces, there was already a battle brewing between MMs and Hershey’s peanut counterpart. Hershey’s new “Pieces” line are colorful button-shaped candies that so closely resemble MMs you’ll be wondering where the “m” is. The new line includes: Almond Joy, Hershey’s Special Dark, and York. At least the special dark chocolate puts Hershey’s a shade off from a one-to-one comparison to the milk chocolate MMs. The Almond Joy Pieces have a coconut chocolate mix inside which makes for oddly shaped candies...that only a coconut fanatic would love. The York mint pieces were pretty good yet I was somehow expecting peppermint, not mint chocolate inside. Also, in general, the color and texture of these new line additions are not up to par with the Reeses Pieces.

So, my take:
Stick with original MMs instead of the Special Dark, try the York ones, and Reeses Pieces are still the best of all.
