An Obvious Combination
The Cadbury and Reese’s brands are rarely seen together in the UK. While both are confectionery titans, their parent companies keep them largely separate on this side of the Atlantic. In the US, where Hershey’s produces Cadbury products under license, co-branded items are more common. Here, they occupy different aisles.
This concept bypasses corporate reality to propose a simple, effective partnership. It takes one of the most straightforward formats in the Cadbury portfolio, Dairy Milk Buttons, and adds Reese’s Pieces. No new moulding, no complex recipe development. Just two existing products, combined in a bag. It is a powerful idea. It’s also a very direct one.
The Current Cadbury Range
A look at Cadbury’s actual UK output shows a brand moving in a very different direction. The current range is dominated by complex desserts, cakes, and ice creams, often leveraging the names of classic chocolate bars. The simple confectionery bag is not the focus.
You will find Cadbury Fudge Cake Bars, a Honey Comb Roll, and Snack Shortcake slices in the cake aisle. In the chillers, there are Pots of Joy. The freezers contain Boost and Flake branded ice cream tubs. Compared to these elaborate products, a bag of chocolate buttons with a peanut butter candy inclusion feels almost nostalgic. It’s a throwback to a time when a new product was just a tweak to an old favourite, not a complete reinvention in another food category.
Buttons as a Platform
The standard Dairy Milk Buttons pouch is one of Cadbury’s most enduring products. It has seen variations over the years, from Giant Buttons to different chocolate types, but the core product is unchanging. It is a simple canvas.
This mockup treats it as exactly that. The packaging is familiar, using the standard purple and the classic Buttons logo. The only addition is the prominent Reese’s branding and a clear window showing the mix of brown, orange, and yellow pieces inside. The caption that accompanied the image was direct: “Could this be the best combo ever?” It’s a question that needs no elaboration. The product concept speaks for itself.
What the real range looks like
The real Cadbury UK range focuses heavily on cakes, ice creams and chilled desserts, including Cadbury Fudge Cake Bars, Cadbury Boost Ice Cream, and Cadbury Pots of Joy. This simple confectionery bag concept would be an outlier among the brand’s current complex, multi-ingredient products.

Frequently asked questions
- Do Cadbury and Reese’s ever collaborate on products?
- In the United States, where Hershey’s holds the license to produce Cadbury chocolate, there have been co-branded products like Cadbury Creme Eggs with Reese’s pieces. In the UK, however, the two brands are generally kept separate.
- What’s the difference between Reese’s Pieces and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups?
- Reese’s Pieces are small, candy-coated lentils with a peanut butter filling, similar in texture to M&M’s. Peanut Butter Cups feature a softer peanut butter filling inside a moulded milk chocolate cup.
- Are Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons with Reese’s Pieces real?
- No, this product does not exist. This image is a Snackfish — a mockup created by the online design page UK Snack Attack. It is not a real Cadbury product and is not sold anywhere.
