Attempting to parse this as a wordplay clue: Mounds candy contains coconut, Reese's contains peanut butter. "Half Mounds" = first half of MOUNDS = MOU or second half = NDS. This approach doesn't yield clean results. Let me reconsider: "Half Mounds" could be MOUND (removing S), "half Reese's" could be REESE. But that's too many letters. Alternatively, splitting each word in half: MOUNDS (6 letters) split = MOU + NDS; REESE'S split = REE + SE'S. Taking first halves: MOU + REE = MOUREE? Taking second halves: NDS + SES? This doesn't work cleanly either.
