Last fall, Reese's teased a new candy bar that combined two amazing products: Reese's Cups and Reese's Pieces. Reese's Outrageous bars stuff the peanut butter candies into a milk chocolate-covered bar that's also filled with Reese's peanut butter and caramel. It's a creamy, crunchy, Reese's fan's dream, and after seven long months, the bars are finally in stores this week.
To celebrate the launch, Reese's is giving away free boxes of Outrageous bars to the first 100 participants in their "I <3 Reese's Day" event. To enter, post about your love of Reese's on Twitter or Instagram on Friday, May 18, using the tag #ReesesOutrageous. One winner will get a year's supply of the new candy, plus $10,000. Pretty sweet deal.
In case you need some inspiration, Reese's has already given out some crazy prizes to PB fans. Ivy Mitchell, who tweeted about driving to the store for one Reese's Peanut Butter Egg and wanting a Reese's wedding cake, got a giant Reese's Egg Cake delivered to her door. They also filled an entire pool full of Reese's Outrageous for a guy who filled his bathtub with Reese's candies. Ask and you shall receive!

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups will always be favored as a classic Halloween candy, but the brand is celebrating the holiday this year by adding a brand new candy bar to its roster that'll officially be available next year.
Reese's announced recently that the candy brand will be rolling out Reese's Outrageous Bars as early as May 2018. The candy bar's makeup is pretty similar to a Reese's Cup in terms of its chocolatey exterior and peanut butter center, but what really sets it apart is that the peanut butter filling is surrounded by a layer of caramel, and the bar's chocolate coating is studded with mini Reese's Pieces. Sounds to die for, right?
Even though the candy won't officially launch until the spring, the candy giant debuted the brand new chocolate bar to some lucky residents in Royal Oak, MI, a town known for taking its Halloween celebrations to the next level every single year. Reese's stopped by Royal Oak and distributed 30,000 samples, "making it the largest Reese's sampling event EVER."
As envious as we are that this town in Michigan was able to get the exclusive first bite of the product, we're happy to wait until May to determine if the chocolate bar deserves to be named an instant classic that our Halloween candy stashes would be nothing without. Until then we'll keep singing the praises of our beloved peanut butter cups.
