Cash prizes in increments of $10, $25 and $100 will be awarded throughout the promotion.

The specially-marked Reese’s products will be available in June at mass, grocery, drug and convenience stores. Also in June, Hershey’s will permanently add two-cup packages and six-cup packages of Reese’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Miniatures Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups to retail outlets.
