About Mini reeses cup
Mini Reese’s Cups are bite-sized versions of the classic American confection combining smooth milk chocolate and creamy peanut butter in a convenient small format. Developed by the Hershey Company, the Reese's brand stems from H.B. Reese's invention in 1928. While primarily considered a treat rather than a healthful snack, Mini Reese’s Cups offer a balance of carbohydrates, fats, and protein, with approximately 43 calories per piece. They are high in added sugars and fats, making them energy-dense, but contain small amounts of protein and essential minerals such as iron and magnesium due to the peanut butter content.
Health Benefits
- Provides a small amount of magnesium (4% of the daily value per serving), supporting bone health and energy metabolism.
- Contains trace amounts of protein (around 0.8 grams per Mini Reese’s Cup), which aids in tissue repair and muscle building.
- Includes iron (about 1% of daily value per serving), critical for oxygen transport and energy production in the body.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting and maintain freshness.
