Anyone know where I can find some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups?

1. Someone I know gets them from the army base(Tokyo)

   Doesn’t help, sorry

   I wish I could eat them too..

2. I’ve ordered them on Rakuten from a store called Anericana. Pricey, but if you’re craving them…

3. I’ve noticed that the flavor has changed in the last 15 or so years. Can’t explain it but it’s almost a medicine aftertaste?

   I do love getting a chocolate bar and some good peanut butter. Ikea, believe it or not, has some of the best bars for dipping and while not idea the Skippy most stores sell will get by.

4. They’re actually remarkably easy to make yourself. Tried this recipe – it’s good, and you can make them to whatever size you want depending on the tin you decide to use.

5. iHerb.com has a number of different peanut butter cups! And they ship to Japan – my packages always come in 4-5 days. No Reese’s but they have like 5 different brands of peanut butter cups.

6. I’ve seen them in some Seiyu branches. They also have them on Amazon though the prices are really marked up. This is the cheapest one I’ve found:

   https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08DTVM6S1/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=2YDBUEGIH7NA8&keywords=reeses%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8A%E3%83%83%E3%83%84%E3%83%90%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AB%E3%83%83%E3%83%97&qid=1657984310&sprefix=reese%2Caps%2C208&sr=8-7

8. Close, my wife brought home a box of Reese’s Puffs cereal today she found at Donki in/at Tokyo station.

   Good luck… and I would love to know too lol

9. Amazon is the only place I’ve been able to get them. They sell a box of 36 2-packs for around 5,500 yen after shipping. Still comes out to a very reasonable price per pack. But paying that much up front definitely sucks. I’d say it’s worth it though.

   I just throw them in the fridge and they last a while. Although I wouldn’t order them in the summer months as they ship from the US and will definitely melt.

   Edit – looks like they ship with cool packs now: https://www.amazon.co.jp/Reeses-Peanut-Butter-Cup-36-ct/dp/B000IXUK8G/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=2G9N8VMLUHMJ9&keywords=reesesピーナッツバターカップ&qid=1657987582&sprefix=rees%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-7

10. They’re expensive, but you can buy them on Amazon JP

11. You can’t. Gotta to order them online.

12. This is probably not a good time of year to have chocolate shipped to you; it is likely to melt along the way. I believe that iHerb actually blocks the delivery of some products during the summer for this reason.

    A couple of years ago, Kaldi had some chocolate-coated peanut butter from Europe that was as good as or better than Reese’s. They were peanut-shaped. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case, or at least I can’t find them on their website.

    The Flying Pig [will import a bag of Hershey’s Miniatures from Costco in Hawaii for you, but it’s expensive](https://www.theflyingpig.com/snack-food/chocolate/hersheys-miniatures-assortment-us-version-5-varieties-1.55-kg-bag-200-ct/).

13. Nissin in Azabu used to have them. No idea if they still do since they rearranged everything.

14. If you have some American military friends they sell them on base or Amazon.jp is the way to go. Like ¥4700 or something

15. They’re available on Amazon though depending on the type they can get expensive af. Also I vaguely remember seeing some at Vanguard Village shops before but not sure about recently. Vanguard does sell quite a few common international snacks though, like those German gummies and Aussie Tim Tams etc.

16. If you ever come to Okinawa, I can hook you up lol I’m American and buy Reese’s way too often 😅

17. I’d commit several illegal acts for one Friendly’s Reeses Peanut Butter Cup sundae (with chocolate ice cream…and five scoops so you get the marshmallow syrup too.)

18. Amazon.jp or Rakuten.com
