Reese's Puffs (formerly Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs) is a corn-based breakfast cereal manufactured by General Mills inspired by Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. [3] [4] At its launch in May 1994 [5] the cereal consisted of corn puffs flavored with chocolate and peanut butter. Later, the formula was revised to be a mixture of chocolate puffs and peanut butter puffs. [6]

Artificial flavours and food coloring were removed in 2015 in response to consumer demand. [7] [8] In 2018, over 35 million boxes were sold, totaling to $121 million in sales. [9]
