Items Details
Frequently Asked Questions
Are TAKE 5 bars individually wrapped so I can toss a few in a backpack for a hike?
Yes, each full-size 1.5 oz bar is individually wrapped, making them easy to stash in a daypack, hydration vest, cooler or jacket pocket. The sturdy wrapper keeps the chocolate from getting on the rest of your gear until you're ready to eat.
Will the chocolate melt if I take these on a summer camping trip or beach day?
Like any chocolate bar, TAKE 5 can soften or melt in direct sun or high heat. For outdoor use, store the bars inside a cooler with an ice pack, an insulated lunch tote, or shaded backpack compartment, and they hold up well for a typical day outdoors.
Is the wrapper durable enough to handle tailgate parking lots, sandy beaches and trail dust?
The sealed wrapper is sturdy enough to survive being jostled in a cooler, dropped in the sand, or packed in a backpack. The chocolate and caramel inside stay clean, and the wrapper peels off cleanly even when your hands are sandy or sticky.
Does the bulk 18-count box travel well for a group trip or tailgate?
Yes, the 18-count box is sized right for a weekend cabin trip, tailgate crew or family camping outing. You can decant a few bars into a cooler each day and leave the rest in a dry spot in the car or tent for easy grab-and-go snacking.
Is a TAKE 5 bar filling enough to count as a hiking or road trip snack?
At 1.5 oz with protein from the peanuts and peanut butter plus carbs from the pretzel and caramel, a TAKE 5 bar is a satisfying mid-hike or road trip pick-me-up. Many people pair one with a piece of fruit or a sports drink for a longer energy boost.
Can I pack these in a kid's backpack for a day camp or field trip?
Yes, the individually wrapped bars are a popular choice for day camp, scout outings and field trips because they require no refrigeration, don't need utensils and provide both quick energy and a familiar candy reward at the end of the day. Just keep them out of direct sun.
Is the wrapper recyclable when I'm done with my outdoor snack?
The individual candy wrapper is a multi-layer plastic film and is generally not accepted by curbside recycling programs. Check your local recycling guidelines, and consider packing the wrappers in a small zip bag for proper disposal until you reach a trash bin.
Will the bar get crushed at the bottom of a backpack or cooler?
The pretzel-and-peanut layers give the bar more structural integrity than a flat chocolate bar, so it tolerates being packed reasonably well. For best results, place it on top of soft items like a sweatshirt or towel rather than under heavy gear.
How does TAKE 5 compare to a Snickers bar for a tailgate snack?
Both are crowd-pleasing tailgate picks, but TAKE 5 brings a sweet-and-salty crunch that stands out next to standard chocolate bars. Fans of Snickers will recognize the caramel and peanut notes, with the pretzel adding a satisfying salty bite that pairs especially well with cold beverages.
Is TAKE 5 a better camping snack than a basic granola bar?
It depends on what you want. A granola bar is lighter and often more fiber-dense, while a TAKE 5 bar delivers more immediate sweet-and-salty satisfaction and feels like a treat. For a balanced pack, many campers bring both: a granola bar for sustained fuel and a TAKE 5 for the evening campfire reward.
How does TAKE 5 hold up against trail mix for an outdoor adventure?
Trail mix wins on nutrition and customization, but TAKE 5 wins on convenience and the fact that it won't spill chocolate chips and raisins all over your pack. The individually wrapped bar is a cleaner, less crumbly option for hikes and road trips where you want a treat without the mess.
What if I'm worried about attracting wildlife with chocolate on a camping trip?
Store the bars in a sealed cooler or hang bag along with your other scented food items, exactly as you would any chocolate or sweet snack. Bears and other wildlife are attracted to all food odors, not just candy, so standard bear-canister or hang-bag protocols are sufficient.
Can I bring TAKE 5 bars to a venue that doesn't allow outside food?
Most outdoor parks, beaches and tailgate lots allow individually wrapped snack bars, but some sports stadiums, festivals and ticketed venues have restrictions. Check the venue's outside-food policy before you go, and remember that the chocolate can soften in the sun during long events.
Will the bar survive being in a hot car while I'm out hiking or at the beach?
Like any chocolate product, TAKE 5 is vulnerable to melting in a closed car on a hot day. Stash the bars in a cooler, insulated bag or trunk compartment away from direct sun, and bring only what you'll actually eat that day to minimize waste.
Is this candy messy to eat outdoors without a table?
It's about as clean as a chocolate bar gets because the wrapper catches most drips and crumbs. The caramel is thick and stays in the bar, and the peanuts and pretzels don't crumble like a cookie. You can eat it one-handed while standing on a trail or sitting in a camp chair without much fuss.
Does the bar have a long enough shelf life to keep in a go-bag or emergency kit?
Yes, individually wrapped TAKE 5 bars have a long best-by date printed on each wrapper. Stash a few in a car emergency kit, daypack or bug-out bag, and rotate them out every several months so you always have a fresh, satisfying treat on hand.
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.
