Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TAKE 5 bar contain any common allergens I should know about before packing it in my child's lunch?
Yes, REESE'S TAKE 5 bars contain peanuts, milk, soy and wheat (from the pretzel), and are manufactured in a facility that also handles tree nuts. If your child's school or playdate has allergy restrictions, check the wrapper label and confirm with caregivers before including it in a lunchbox.
Is the wrapper safe and sturdy enough to survive a backpack or lunchbox without making a mess?
The bars are individually wrapped in a sturdy, sealed wrapper designed to handle lunch boxes, backpacks, sports bags and the backseat of the car. Each bar stays fresh and contained until your child is ready to eat, so you don't have to worry about sticky fingers or melted chocolate in the bottom of a bag.
Are TAKE 5 bars individually wrapped so I can pack one per kid per day from one bulk box?
Yes, every full-size 1.5 oz bar is individually wrapped inside the 18-count box. You can easily portion one bar per lunchbox, per child or per day, and the wrappers reseal loosely if your child doesn't finish in one sitting.
How big is each bar? Is it too much for a younger child?
Each TAKE 5 bar is a full-size 1.5 oz, which most parents find right-sized for an older child as a lunch dessert or after-school treat. For younger kids or smaller appetites, you can break the bar in half along its five layers and save the rest for later.
Will the chocolate melt if I pack it for a recess or outdoor lunchtime?
Chocolate can soften in direct heat, so for warm-weather lunch packing, tuck the bar next to a frozen water bottle or insulated pack. The sturdy wrapper helps protect it, and many families report the bars hold up fine for typical school lunch windows, especially when not left in a hot car.
Is this a good treat to hand out at a class party or playdate without worry?
Because the bars are individually wrapped, they are a convenient classroom party, scout meeting or playdate option. Just confirm there are no peanut or wheat allergies among the kids, since the bars do contain both.
Is the 18-count box a good value compared to buying singles at the grocery checkout?
Yes, the bulk 18-count pack offers a noticeably better per-bar price than grabbing single bars at the register. For families who go through chocolate treats weekly, the box usually pays for itself within a couple of trips.
Can I use TAKE 5 bars as part of a birthday party favor bag for my child's friends?
Absolutely. Individually wrapped TAKE 5 bars drop right into party favor bags, piñatas or treat pails. Many parents pair them with a small toy and a thank-you tag for an easy crowd-pleasing favor.
Is there anything inside the bar that could be a choking concern for little ones?
The bar contains whole and chopped peanuts, pretzel pieces and a thick caramel layer, so it is not recommended for toddlers or very young children who are still at choking risk. For older kids with established chewing skills, it is a satisfying treat.
How do TAKE 5 bars compare to a regular peanut butter cup for a kid's lunchbox?
Compared to a standard peanut butter cup, TAKE 5 adds a salty pretzel crunch, caramel and whole peanuts on top of the milk chocolate. Kids who get bored of plain peanut butter cups often prefer the layered texture, and parents appreciate the built-in portion control from the individual wrapper.
Is this candy as sweet as a Snickers or Milky Way for a child's snack?
TAKE 5 is sweet but balanced with salty pretzels and roasted peanuts, so many parents find it less one-note sugary than a Snickers or Milky Way. The five layers also mean each bite tastes a little different, which kids tend to enjoy.
Could my child be sensitive to ingredients even if they eat peanut butter cups fine?
Possibly. TAKE 5 bars also contain wheat (pretzel), soy and milk in addition to peanuts, so a child who handles a basic peanut butter cup may still react to one of the other ingredients. Always read the full ingredient list the first time you pack it.
Is the chocolate real milk chocolate or a cheaper coating?
The bar is made with milk chocolate that contains real cocoa, giving it a familiar creamy chocolate flavor. It is the same Hershey's-company milk chocolate used across the REESE'S lineup, not a compound or imitation coating.
Will my picky eater actually like the pretzel and caramel combo?
Pickier eaters often surprise parents with TAKE 5, because the chocolate and peanut butter flavors they already love are front and center, with the pretzel and caramel adding crunch rather than unfamiliar taste. If your child likes sweet-and-salty snacks like trail mix, they will almost certainly like this.
How long does an unopened 18-count box stay fresh in my pantry?
Each bar is individually wrapped with a clear best-by date printed on the wrapper. Stored in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight, an unopened 18-count box typically stays fresh for many months past purchase, making it easy to keep on hand for school weeks.
Is the product safe for kids with nut allergies in the family?
No, TAKE 5 bars are not safe for anyone with a peanut allergy, and they are also made in a facility that handles tree nuts. If anyone in your household has a nut allergy, keep this product out of shared snack spaces and read the label carefully.
What ingredients are in a REESE'S TAKE 5 candy bar?
A TAKE 5 bar layers pretzels, caramel, peanut butter, peanuts and milk chocolate. The full ingredient list also includes sugar, corn syrup, salt, lecithin and other standard candy ingredients, plus milk, soy and wheat allergens. Always check the printed wrapper for the most current ingredient declaration.
How should I store TAKE 5 bars to keep them fresh?
Store the bars in a cool, dry place between roughly 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. In warm climates or summer months, refrigerate or freeze them in a sealed bag to prevent melting, and let them come to room temperature before eating for the best texture.
Can I freeze TAKE 5 bars for long-term storage?
Yes, you can freeze the individually wrapped bars for several months in a sealed freezer bag. Thaw them in the wrapper at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before eating. The pretzel may soften slightly after freezing, but the flavor stays true.
Is REESE'S TAKE 5 safe for people with peanut or tree nut allergies?
No. TAKE 5 bars contain peanuts and are produced in a facility that also handles tree nuts, so they are not safe for anyone with a peanut or tree nut allergy. The product also contains milk, soy and wheat, so review the full ingredient list if you have any other food allergies.
Is REESE'S TAKE 5 kosher certified?
Yes, REESE'S TAKE 5 bars are kosher certified, which makes them a good fit for observant Jewish households, kosher events and Jewish holiday celebrations. Look for the kosher symbol on the package for the most current certification mark.
What's actually in the box when I order the 18-count pack?
Inside the 18-count box you get 18 individually wrapped, full-size 1.5 oz REESE'S TAKE 5 bars. Nothing else is included; just open the box, grab a bar, and you are ready to snack. The bulk box is a stand-alone product and does not require any assembly.
Can I chop TAKE 5 bars up to use as a dessert topping?
Absolutely. Many home bakers chop TAKE 5 bars and sprinkle them over ice cream sundaes, brownies, cookies and cupcakes. The pretzels, peanuts and chocolate add crunch, salt and visual appeal. For clean cuts, chill the bar in the freezer for 10 minutes before chopping with a sharp knife.
Are TAKE 5 bars a better sweet-and-salty snack than a plain chocolate bar?
For anyone who craves both sweet and salty in one bite, TAKE 5 delivers more balance than a plain chocolate bar. The pretzel layer adds salt and crunch, the caramel adds chew, and the peanuts plus peanut butter add richness, all wrapped in milk chocolate.
What is the difference between REESE'S TAKE 5 and a REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup?
A REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup is a two-ingredient combination of milk chocolate and peanut butter. REESE'S TAKE 5 builds on that flavor base and adds pretzels, caramel and whole peanuts, so you get crunch, chew and salt in addition to the familiar chocolate-and-peanut-butter pairing.
Can I use TAKE 5 bars in baking, and do I need to adjust any recipes?
Yes, TAKE 5 bars work well in brownies, blondies, cookie dough and ice cream mixes. Use them as a one-to-one swap for chocolate chunks, but expect the batter to be slightly saltier and crunchier. Reduce added salt in the recipe by about a quarter teaspoon per cup of chopped TAKE 5.
