I don't know what reese's are but I was having the same trouble when I went Vegan!. It was hard to give up the food that was so tempting at times!
In the end I did it in stages!. First I gave up drinking milk and started drinking soya milk instead (that was easy) then I gave up eggs, again that was easy!.
Cheese was harder! But I kept at it and now (a month later) I don't even crave cheese anymore and it smells all greasy and gross to me now (the cheese on pizza which I used to enjoy)
I think the thing to remember is that you have to keep moving in the right direction!. Just because you have a moment of weakness is no reason to stop trying altogether or to beat yourself up about it!.
I find my worst weakness is forgetting to check ingredients on things that I (wrongly) assumed were vegan anyway (like pesto sauce - I make my own vegan version now) but as the weeks go by I'm getting better at it and getting used to it and it does get easier!.
Just keep at it! Good luck! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Awww!.!.!.we all have our nonvegan addictions we have to give up!. As someone else pointed out, almost any vegan online retailer will have peanut butter (and even almond butter!) cups that are quite tasty!. A company called Sweet Earth also has vegan peanut butter cups!. They're a little more expensive than Reese's but they also have better ingredients and no crap in them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I count 4 different brands of vegan peanut butter cups, plus peanut butter truffles!.
Honestly, there's a vegan version of almost anything you might want!. And, if there's not, you have to ask yourself what's more important: your convictions!? or candy!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can easily make your own, I do that; I have also found ways to make mini peanut butter cups!. On top of it, you can control what goes in - meaning, you can buy natural peanut butter that's just peanuts (and salt, if you wish) and isn't laden with oil and sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

find some sort of vegan alternative!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
try dipping a really good chocolate bar into some fresh ground peanut butter, and that will cure you!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
