Reese's wants you to count down to Christmas with chocolate and peanut butter

(FOX 13) - Peanut butter lovers, rejoice: Reese’s is helping you find the sweet spirit of the season this Christmas.

The chocolate company is releasing an advent calendar filled with, you guessed it, Reese’s treats.

An advent calendar is designed to help count down the days until Christmas.  Traditionally, gifts and treats are hidden behind a flap or door to be revealed each day as the holiday approaches.

A company spokesperson says the Reese’s version includes six mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and 18 packs of Reese’s Pieces, each containing four pieces.

According to Reese’s, the calendar is available starting at $6.99 in stores including Target, Wegmans, Meijer, Tops, Shopko, and Cracker Barrel.

It’s also appearing on Amazon – where it’s currently the top new release in the chocolate category – but at significantly higher prices.
