Reese's Peanut Butter cups were invented by Harry Burnett Reese in 1928. He was a dairy farmer who just liked the combination. He started a door-to-door candy company, using Hershey's chocolate in the candies. The peanut butter cups were most popular, and eventually the Hershey company bought them.
