Which Reese’s Works Best for Easter?
Each Reese’s format suits a different part of the Easter weekend, so match the product to the job.
- Egg hunts and basket fillers: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures (150g), or the 1kg pack of Miniature Cups if you’re catering for a yard full of cousins. They’re small enough to tuck into garden beds, pot plants and plastic eggs.
- Bowls and platters: Reese’s Mini Bites, DiPPeD Pretzels and DiPPeD Animal Crackers pour straight into a bowl and add crunch next to the softer cups.
- A bigger treat for one person: the Big Cup King Size, a Nutrageous bar or the Reese’s Peanut Butter Block make a solid centrepiece in an Easter basket.
- A change of colour: the Reese’s White Cup looks pale and pretty beside all that orange and brown, and gives anyone who prefers a white coating something of their own.
One thing every item shares is peanut butter. If anyone at your Easter lunch has a peanut allergy, keep Reese’s in clearly labelled bowls away from the rest of the spread, and read each pack’s allergen statement before serving.
No-Bake Reese’s Easter Treat Ideas
None of these need a recipe card. They’re assembly jobs, which makes them perfect for getting the kids involved on Good Friday or Easter Saturday.
Chocolate Easter nests
Melt some chocolate, stir through crunchy cereal or broken plain pretzels, then spoon small mounds into patty cases and press a dip into the middle of each. Sit a Reese’s Miniature or a couple of Mini Bites in the hollow as the “eggs” and chill until set.
Peanut butter rocky road
Rocky road is about as forgiving as dessert gets: melted chocolate, marshmallows and whatever else you like, set in a lined tray and cut into squares. Swap some of the usual add-ins for chopped Reese’s cups and broken DiPPeD Pretzels for a salty-sweet version that disappears fast.
Cupcake and brownie toppers
Bought or homemade cupcakes and brownies get an instant Easter upgrade with a halved Miniature Cup pressed into the icing. Cups slice more cleanly when they’re cold, so pop them in the fridge before you start cutting.
Dessert jars
Layer crushed biscuits, whipped cream or custard and chopped Reese’s in small glasses or jars, then finish each one with a DiPPeD Animal Cracker on top.
Building a Reese’s Easter Platter
A grazing platter lets everyone pick their favourite without anyone having to cook. Start with a large board or tray and a few small bowls for anything loose.
- Group items by texture: cups in one corner, dipped pretzels and animal crackers in another, Mini Bites in a bowl in the middle.
- Break the Peanut Butter Block into squares so guests can take a piece instead of a whole bar.
- Add contrast with fresh strawberries, plain pretzels and a few eggs from our Easter chocolate range.
- Keep a little back in the pantry and top up as the platter empties, so it always looks full.
Easter falls in autumn here, but a sunny afternoon can still soften chocolate. Bring the platter out close to serving time and keep it out of direct sun.
Reese’s for Easter Egg Hunts
Egg hunts are where the bulk pack earns its keep. The 1kg pack of Reese’s Miniature Cups fills a lot of plastic eggs from a single pack, and the Miniatures (150g) suit a smaller backyard hunt.
- Hide in the shade. Chocolate left in full sun softens quickly, so use shady spots under shrubs, on the verandah or indoors.
- Wrap anything unwrapped. If you’re hiding any unwrapped pieces outdoors, pop them into plastic eggs or small bags first.
- Keep a count. Write down how many you hide so nothing is left behind for the ants.
- Keep it fair. Give each hunter a set number to find, or a colour of egg that’s theirs, so the fastest kid doesn’t clear out the whole yard.
- Add a golden prize. Hide one Big Cup King Size or a Nutrageous bar as the special find for whoever tracks it down.

Reese’s Easter Gift Ideas
Not everyone wants a hollow egg, and a Reese’s basket feels more personal for the peanut butter devotee in your life.
- The peanut butter lover’s basket: a pack of Miniatures, a DiPPeD snack, the Peanut Butter Block and a White Cup, tied up with ribbon.
- The office share bowl: the 240g Reese’s Dipped Pretzels or a pack of Mini Bites, left on the kitchen bench before the long weekend.
- The big kid’s treat: a Big Cup King Size and a Nutrageous bar tucked in alongside a traditional egg.
If the person you’re buying for loves American treats in general, fill out the basket from our American candy range, or start with one of our hampers and baskets and add Reese’s on top. Store gifts sealed, somewhere cool and dry, until you hand them over.
