Reeses Pieces

Orange candy shells

Reese's Pieces is a candy consisting of small, colorful peanut butter morsels in a crunchy shell, similar in shape to M&M's but without chocolate.

The candy gained cultural prominence after appearing in the 1982 film *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial*, where it lures the alien: He left a trail of Reese's Pieces.
