Reese's Puffs is a popular breakfast cereal. It is made by a company called General Mills. This cereal is inspired by the famous Reese's Peanut Butter Cups candy.
Reese's Puffs are made from corn. They have a yummy taste of both chocolate and peanut butter.
History of Reese's Puffs
Reese's Puffs first came out in May 1994. When it was first launched, the cereal had one type of puff. These puffs were flavored with both chocolate and peanut butter.
Later, the way the cereal was made changed. It became a mix of two different kinds of puffs. Some puffs were just chocolate flavored. Other puffs were just peanut butter flavored. This made the cereal have two distinct tastes in one bowl.
Changes to Ingredients
In 2015, some ingredients were removed from Reese's Puffs. The company stopped using artificial flavors and food coloring. This change happened because many customers asked for more natural ingredients in their food.
