Are Reese's Gluten Free?
Most Reese's products are gluten-free including the original Peanut Butter Cups. The original Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are manufactured by the Hershey company, and are indeed gluten-free. Some of the newer Reese's innovations, such as their seasonal confections, are not gluten-free. You can satisfy your Reese's cravings without stirring up any gluten-sensitivities, with your local CVS carrying many great varieties to choose from:
• Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (original)
• Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
• Reese's Thins Peanut Butter Cups
• Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Sugar-Free
• Reese's Miniatures Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Do Reese's Pieces Have Chocolate?
No, Reese's Pieces do not have any chocolate. This candy consists of a delicious peanut butter filling surrounded by a slightly crunchy candy shell, but there is no chocolate whatsoever in the ingredients.
Are Reese's Vegan?
No, Reese's products are not vegan, as most contain milk in order to manufacture the milk chocolate and other components of the candy. Most Reese's products also contain palm oil, which is considered by many to be a non-vegan ingredient, too. Other ingredients include processed sugar, whey, and milk fat which are all questionable ingredients if you follow a vegan diet. The only iterations of Reese's that are both vegan and vegetarian are the Reese's Peanut Butter Sauce and the Reese's Peanut Butter Topping.
