Elvis Reese's Peanut Butter & Banana Creme — Coming July, 2007
The Memphis Flyer website last week (Monday, November 27, 2006) ran an item asking if images it had been receiving of a purported limited-edition Reese's cup (above) featuring the King's favorite taste — peanut butter and banana — were "real or an Internet hoax?"
No hoax.
Andrew Martin reported in yesterday's New York Times that the Hershey company indeed plans to roll out its first ever limited-edition candy to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the King's death, which occurred on August 16, 1977.
Short story shorter: the Elvis cups will hit stores in July, 2007, well in advance of Elvis week in August.

Our Elvis fan club is anxiously waiting for the
Elvis Reese Cups.The pkg. looks great.
But...question....is it already out at some locations ?? I have an e-mail stating they came
across it at a local dollar store May 30.
I can forward this to you....They said it is good.
I would like to have a "case" of them for my fan club gifts.
Thankyou for honoring Elvis memory,name ,talent
and generosity.SuZie

Wait a minute. I'm not up on my Elvis lore, but did Elvis want the chocolate in there? I don't recall that Elvis said nothin 'bout no chocolate in his sammiches.
For accuracy, they need a banana-flavored shell (like the banana-flavored Moon Pies have) with peanut butter inside. With maybe a gravy, or possibly butter, center.

Peeler is back ordered until 12/20, but I ordered one anyway. By the way, I also bought the armadillo handbag you posted about, and it's really delightful! Can't wait to see her face on Christmas morn.
