The combination of peanut butter and chocolate has got to be one of the greatest duos in history. Another great combo? Wattpad and REESE’S! That’s why Wattpad teamed up with Reese’s to build excitement around everyone’s trick-or-treat favorite by leaning into our audience’s love for all things horror and Halloween.

Challenge
To celebrate Halloween, we launched the #SoGoodItsScary writing contest and asked our 18+ community to write about the scariest duo or combination they could imagine, making Reese’s top of mind for our Wattpad community during the spookiest and most candy-crazed of seasons.
