Reeseâs Pieces. Theyâre the candies that made E.T. famous: Reeseâs Pieces. Little sweet nuggets of peanut flavored candy covered in a colorful shell. Loved across the universe, they were introduced in 1978, but didnât break out as a widely-known candy until being featured as alien-bait in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in 1982.
