The crispy cookie-filled dream we've been waiting for has finally arrived! Reese's fans can now find the Crunchy Cookie Cups at typical candy retailers and grocery stores nationwide, Brand Eating, reports.
The standard size cups (1.4 ounces) will go for about $1.09 while the "king size" Big Cup (2.8 ounces) will set you back $1.79. Here's the final packaging, so you know what to snatch from the shelf before someone else does:

Nearly one year after Reese's Pieces-Stuffed Big Cups leaked online, sending the Internet into a frenzy to hunt the meta snack down, Hershey's is revealing a whole new treat — one that's likely to make people go even crazier. They're called Reese's Crunchy Cookie Cups, and they're the peanut butter cups you grew up with, only they're studded with chocolate cookie bits.
So basically, it tastes like a divine mash-up of Oreos, chocolate, and peanut butter (though, to be clear, there are no Oreos in it — the cookies will just remind you of them). The combo makes so much sense: Adding "crunch" to smooth, filled chocolates has been a huge trend over the past year — see Godiva's and Hershey's recent launches, just for two examples — and it makes use of the bits the chocolatier's already tossing in its Cookie Layer Crunch Bars. Win-win.
They didn't skimp on the chocolate cookie bits, either. Take a look:
Like the Reese's Pieces Big Cups, these treats come in two sizes: the classic Reese's cup, and for those who want all the peanut butter, they're making them in Big Cup form too. The sweets won't hit stores until May, but here's a sneak peek of the packaging, so you know what to hunt for while shopping.
And maybe tide yourself over by sandwiching a Reese's cup between two Oreo halves. Just a suggestion.
