Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Win Massachusetts
While chocolate candy favorites vary widely based on personal preferences, residents of the Bay State seem to fall solidly behind Hershey’s chocolate and peanut butter cup confection, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. The PB&C chocolate morsel beat out Snickers and M&M’s, which were the No. 2 and 3 choices for residents from Massachusetts, showing how much love locals have for the Pennsylvania stalwart.
Nothing could be sweeter for New England sports fans than the Celtics or Bruins cashing futures tickets at Massachusetts betting apps, but these treats on Halloween come pretty close.
