As an addict, I get from Amazon. Subscribe and save when it's cheap. 12 boxes under $10 is common. Goes as low as $7-8

These used to taste great. Now they taste like plastic. Definite recipe change here.

EDIT: Dug into it and yeah, recipe changed to garbage now.

The old formula had dextrose, milk/whey and relatively little corn-syrup solids. The modern formula has corn-syrup solids as the fourth ingredient, and the newest
version eliminated dextrose and milk entirely.

That could absolutely change sweetness, aroma release and how rich the peanut center seems.

The 2025 dairy-free reformulation could explain a very recent deterioration.

This one is especially interesting if you remember them tasting better even a year or two ago.

The immediately previous recipe contained dextrose and milk. The current recipe contains neither.

This was the normal price up until about 2 years ago. Nonsense that they have gone up 50%.

Noticed this too. I bought one box and thought the taste was chemical and way different than I remember. I won't be buying them again.

I thought it was just my taste changing. They were my favorite back in the 80s. I used to chop them up and use as an ice cream topping.

Yeah, definitely need to get the word out there. I didn't have reese's pieces for years, but I tried some a few months ago and they were disgusting. It didn't taste much like peanut butter or chocolate. It was just a waxy thing tasting vaguely of peanut that stubbornly coated the inside of my mouth and made me feel sick. I'm never buying this again. The people who decide to do stuff like this are pathologically anti-human and should be made to suffer the consequences of their decisions.
