Reese’s fans, the peanut butter cup brand wants to say it loves you back by offering the chance to win Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for one year — or even for life.

The Hershey Company, which owns the top-selling candy brand, announced on Monday the return of "the highly demanded" Reese's Peanut Butter Lovers Cups (featuring an extra layer of sweet peanut butter creme with a milk chocolate bottom) and Reese's Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers Cups (with double the peanut butter flavor) for a limited time.

Additionally, fans can look for specially-marked Reese’s brand candy for a chance to win peanut butter cups for one year or even for life. Hershey is also giving away five separate $1,000 Visa gift cards. 

The company said the specially-marked packages have a code or QR code that allows customers to see if they’ve won. Fans who find one can visit www.ReesesLovers.com to complete the registration page and enter the code from the wrapper.

Hershey said the contest runs through July 31.
