Reese's Best Ice Cream Product In The Freezer Aisle, Hands Down

The appeal of a frozen treat is timeless. The next time you find yourself peckish yet paralyzed by indecision in the freezer aisle, remember that Reese's Crunchy Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars are, hands down, the absolute best option available from the iconic candy brand's line of ice cream products.

Launched in early 2026, Reese's Crunchy Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars are made with real peanut butter ice cream and Reese's peanut butter, wrapped in a chocolate shell, and get their tell-tale crunch from actual peanuts. In Tasting Table's ranking of Reese's ice cream products, our reviewer — a self-described "huge" fan of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups — said, "I'd venture to say that this bar is even better than the original peanut butter cup, which is a pretty high bar in my book." 

Our tester contrasted the peanut butter flavoring in the ice cream with that of the Reese's Frozen Peanut Butter Bar, which came in last in the ranking, and positively noted that the former's flavor was significantly less concentrated, saying, "It has a hint of saltiness that creates a lovely, harmonious balance with the chocolate shell that encases the ice cream." Further praise was won by the bar's inclusion of real pieces of peanut, which gave it a "unique textural appeal."

Reese's Crunchy Peanut Ice Cream Bars not only emerged on top in our appraisal of Reese's ice cream products, but also held their own in Tasting Table's ranking of candy brand ice cream bars, coming in at second place. We are not alone in our positive assessment of the frozen treat; on the official website for Reese's ice cream products, customer reviews for the ice cream bar are overwhelmingly laudatory, with one fan writing, "This may be the best dessert i've ever had with Reese's! ... Craving more! Will leave you wanting the whole box. Will never forget the taste of this." Another enthused, "The combination of creamy peanut butter ice cream, crunchy peanut pieces, and the chocolate coating is amazing. Each bar has the perfect balance of sweet and salty flavours, and the texture is so satisfying ... The size is perfect for a quick treat, and the individually wrapped bars make them really convenient."

While the ice cream bars can be enjoyed on their own, Reese's have suggested a number of pairings that would complement the taste and texture of their line of ice cream products, including caramel, coffee, and banana.
