HERSHEY, Pa. (CBS) – A Florida woman is upset about the lack of designs on Reese’s holiday-themed peanut butter candy - and now she’s taking parent company Hershey to court over it.

Cynthia Kelly filed a federal class-action lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida, alleging several Reese’s products don’t match their photos as depicted on the wrappers.

For example, Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins are merely pumpkin-shaped hunks of peanut-butter-stuffed chocolate, and the actual product has no Jack O’lantern-style carvings as the wrapper depicts, Kelly alleges.

    This. When I went to the USA I tried one of those, as through media I had the idea that it was the best chocolate America had.

    I took one but and then threw the rest in the trash where it belongs. Absolutely filthy stuff.

      Yuck. No, it’s certainly not our best. It’s the bargain bin stuff that manages to push the most volume and marketing. You see it a lot around the holidays, but not too much besides.

      Ghirardelli might be our best of the large brands, though it’s now owned by Lindt.

      We of course have a ton of smaller brands with higher quality too.

        Lindt makes basic-ass chocolate for premium prices, I’m quite sure you have better chocolate producers but as everywhere else they’re quite low-volume and you won’t find them in supermarkets. Also be prepared to pay up to 10 bucks per 50g, but it’ll be worth it – like once every couple of years, as a gift, etc.

        If you have an Aldi close by try Moser-Roth, they’re approximately Lindt quality at prices actually reflecting the quality of cocoa in it.
