Someone is making a peanut butter stuffed tree. Cadbury? Brach's? It's a peanut butter tree covered in chocolate. I guess that is different than a tree shaped chocolate cup filled with peanut butter.
The makers of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have no trouble persuading people to stuff their faces with chocolate-covered treats in circular form (or as pieces). Why bother, then, shaping those delicious morsels into Christmas trees -- at the risk of failing miserably?

Reese's holiday patties have been around since the 60's, long before I arrived. Nothing has changed since then, except the packaging, and even that has hardly changed. Reese's holiday blobs ("trees", "eggs", "pumpkins" - whatever) have been delicious for 50 fifty years. Doesn't look like they're planning to mess with that.
Not exactly.
I was around in the 60s and, though they still taste delicious, what's now sold as a Big Cup was the original size of the cups back then. I'm referring, of course, to their depth (or lack of it, as they're getting flatter and flatter), not the bite-size version.
Reese's is downsizing, just like everone else, and engaging in the game: Reduce, reduce, reduce, then offer a "giant" size (or "Big Cup") at, naturally, an increased price.
