Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt has partnered with The Hershey Company for the second time to turn the infamous milk chocolate and peanut butter blend of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into a new, limited time only froyo flavor. The flavor was created based on research showing that chocolate and peanut butter are two of the brand’s most popular froyo flavors and that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are among the most popular toppings. This March and April, customers can visit any of Orange Leaf’s more than 300 locations to try the new Reese’s flavor, made with real Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
To sweeten the deal, Orange Leaf is rewarding all registered Ounce Back cardholders with double points for every transaction all March long. Instead of one point for every $1 spent, registered cardholders will get two points (every ten points equals $1 added to their card).
Here’s the official press release:
THE HERSHEY COMPANY PARTNERS WITH ORANGE LEAF FROZEN YOGURT TO INTRODUCE NEW REESE’S® PEANUT BUTTER CUP FLAVOR FROYO
Orange Leaf Also Rewards Registered Ounce Back Members With Double Points in March
Oklahoma City (March 2, 2015) – Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt is teaming up with The Hershey Company again to introduce a new REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup froyo in response to the high demand from chocolate and peanut butter lovers. This new flavor will be featured in more than 300 participating Orange Leaf locations from March 2 to April 26.
“Since chocolate and peanut butter are two of our most popular froyo flavors, and REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups are among our most popular toppings, we are excited to reward our customers with this new froyo flavor that fans will find there’s no wrong way to eat,” said Geoff Goodman, President of Orange Leaf. “We are confident our second HERSHEY’S® flavor will be as popular as our first.” Orange Leaf partnered with The Hershey Company in December to create one of its most popular flavors of 2014, YORK® Peppermint Pattie, according to feedback from customers.
REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups were first created in 1928 by H.B. Reese, a dairy employee of Milton S. Hershey. Reese made the chocolate and peanut butter confection with HERSHEY’S® Milk Chocolate and called them “penny cups”. REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups is now one of the top selling candy brands in America.
In addition to rewarding customers with a new flavor, Orange Leaf will reward registered Ounce Back Card holders with double points on all Orange Leaf purchases throughout the month of March. For every dollar spent, customers will earn two reward points instead of one, making it easier than ever to enjoy free froyo. Customers can pick up an Ounce Back card at any store and register it online or via the My Orange Leaf iPhone or Android app. Orange Leaf customers can check their local store’s web page, or download Orange Leaf’s iPhone or Android app, to check the other flavors available at stores before they visit.
Orange Leaf customers choose from their local store’s selection of 16 flavors (taken from the menu of 70 plus), including no-sugar-added, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan alternatives. All of Orange Leaf’s flavors are blended in proprietary machines that create a richer and creamier product than other froyo brands.
Orange Leaf’s new REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup froyo can also be enjoyed at home or on the go with freezer-friendly Froyo To Go™ pints. To inspire customers’ creations with the new flavor, Orange Leaf suggests the following toppings:
- REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups, peanuts, REESE’S® Peanut Butter Syrup and brownie bites
As with all other Orange Leaf flavors, customers are invited to invent their own froyo combinations with the new REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup froyo by mixing, swirling, dividing or topping their frozen yogurt with any combination of fruit, nuts, candy and other healthy or decadent treats from the do-it-yourself toppings bar. At Orange Leaf, each customer is able to make a treat that satisfies their craving while accommodating any dietary needs and taste preferences.
