BUFFALO, N.Y. (May 6, 2019) – REESE’s Ice Cream Cake is now just a grocery aisle away! Introduced in time for I Love REESE’s Day on May 18, this premium, new ice cream cake features creamy chocolate ice cream, chunks of real REESE’s Peanut Butter Cups, a layer of REESE’s peanut butter and whipped icing with a Hershey’s chocolate drizzle on top. The cake is available in select grocery stores nationwide. #NotSorry
Made by Rich Products, the nation’s leading maker of ice cream cakes sold in grocery stores, the REESE’s Ice Cream Cake gives REESE’s fans another delicious way to enjoy their favorite candy. Priced around $15.99, each cake serves about nine. Look for it in the bakery or freezer sections at stores, including Publix, ShopRite, Giant Martin’s, Giant Landover, Food Lion and more.
This summer, for National Ice Cream Day on July 21, REESE’s fans and HersheyPark’s Chocolate World visitors can taste the new cake in the place where REESE’s got its start: Hershey, Pa. The cake will be sampled all day to guests at the popular attraction.
