There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including how they are stored and how they are consumed. However, we can provide some general guidelines.

Typically, Reese's cups have a shelf life of around 9 months when stored at room temperature in their original packaging. However, if they are stored in a cool, dry place, they can last for up to 12 months. Once opened, the shelf life is reduced to around 3-4 months.

As for how long they last once consumed, that again depends on a number of factors. If you are eating them slowly, savoring each bite, then they will last much longer than if you are wolfing them down in one go! Generally speaking, though, a Reese's cup will last around 15-20 minutes before it is fully eaten.

So, to summarize, a Reese's cup has a shelf life of 9-12 months and will last around 15-20 minutes once consumed. However, these are just general guidelines and actual results may vary depending on individual circumstances.
