Reese’s Puffs has been keeping the peanut butter and chocolate combo going for decades and even went dark in 2025 with Dark Chocolate Naturally Flavored Reese’s Puffs. So, it was only a matter of time before a strawberry jelly flavor joined the party.

The New Strawberry Jelly Flavor
Reese’s Puffs has always had a pretty simple flavor formula: peanut butter, chocolate and a whole lot of crunch. General Mills says the cereal is made with real Reese’s peanut butter and Hershey’s cocoa, which gives you those sweet, crunchy corn puffs.
The new PB&J version keeps that peanut butter and chocolate base but adds strawberry jelly flavor to the mix. This may sound like an obvious idea, especially considering how popular peanut butter and jelly has been as a flavor combination. Reese’s itself has already leaned heavily into the idea. The brand brought back its Strawberry PB&J Peanut Butter Cups in April 2026 after fans responded strongly to the flavor’s original. Those cups pair Reese’s classic peanut butter and milk chocolate with a strawberry-flavored filling.
Now that same general flavor idea is moving into the cereal aisle. And honestly, it was time we got the Strawberry flavor, as Reese’s Puffs chocolate and peanut butter flavors have been around since 1994.
Sounds Promising
A taste test shared on TikTok by @cereallife gives an early idea of what the cereal actually tastes like, and the reaction was pretty enthusiastic.
The creator described the strawberry flavor as having a noticeable punch and said it worked particularly well alongside the peanut butter and chocolate. I think that’s a pretty important bit of information because strawberry flavor can sometimes overpower other ingredients, especially in candy and cereal. Here, the food creator felt the three flavors actually worked together.
There’s A Little Surprise Inside The Box
The cereal itself may be the main reason fans will look for the new boxes, but the packaging comes with a little surprise.
The PB+J Reese’s Puffs box comes with a PB+J Passion tattoo sticker inside. So while a temporary tattoo may not mean much to some, it does give the new box a fun little extra for fans who like collecting the quirky stuff with limited-edition food releases.
When Can Fans Get The New Reese’s Puffs?
The new Strawberry Jelly Reese’s Puffs are expected to reach stores in the next few weeks as a limited-edition release.
Specific retailers, pricing, and a firm nationwide release date have not been widely announced yet, so cereal fans may have to keep an eye on store shelves as the launch gets closer.
For anyone who has been waiting for Reese’s Puffs to try something a little different, this could be the box worth hunting down.
