Holy Reese's! NJ’s favorite candy is now an ice cream line

How did it take this long for it to happen? The perfect candy is now becoming a line of frozen ice cream treats.

In October Reese's Peanut Butter Cup was found to be New Jersey's favorite candy in a report by the global marketing firm Too Agency. Rounding out Jersey's top 5 were..,

3 Milky Way
4 Twix
5 Snickers

But the king of the candy jungle…Reese's. And now the company has announced a line of Reese's frozen treats that was so obvious we can't figure out why it wasn't always here.

Look for the following in your store's ice cream section.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Light Ice Cream

This features light peanut butter, light ice cream, chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and a Reese’s peanut butter swirl. Uh...what's this "light" business? Reese's, we didn't come here for light.

Reese’s Chocolate Frozen Dairy Dessert

Reese’s Peanut Butter Frozen Dessert Cup

This is the frozen version of the iconic Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup featuring a peanut butter frozen dairy dessert blended with Reese’s peanut butter swirl covered in a milk chocolatey coating. So no, it's not quite the same as when we put our favorite Reese's Peanut Butter Cup candy in the fridge to make it cold.

The company says you can find their new line of frozen Reese's treats in freezer sections nationwide starting this month.

One of the Top 50 Candy stores in the US is right here in Jersey

Black River Candy Shoppe in Chester New Jersey was selected in Food Network Magazine's “America’s 50 Best Candy Stores” a couple of years back and the story went viral online earlier this year.

I decided to take a trip down there for myself to see what they had to offer. Right, when you walk in you feel like you are Charlie about to take over the chocolate factory. Black River Candy Shoppe is a cute little candy shop offering hundreds of different types of candy.

They have old-school childhood candy as well as an incredible selection of newer candy varieties. Candy is displayed in old whiskey barrels, and a lot of their candy is sold in bulk by the pound. It is located in downtown Chester right off of Main Street. Check out the photos from my recent visit:
