White Snickers

There are not many chocolate bars that can't be improved by swapping milk for white chocolate. White Reese's cups & Twixs are God's gift to man, and don't even talk to me about the devastating loss of white Maltesers, let alone not finding out that white chocolate Côte D'Or's Bouchées exist until this late into my adulthood (which thankfully I now have a healthy supply of thanks to the kindness of One Treat). I've reviewed many of the Snickers* (excluding the PB squared which is my favourite to date) but none have left me craving my next bar. In fact I could happily not have some of them ever again. The continental White chocolate Snickers piqued my interest though, was this the one variation that could finally turn me into an knickers *sorry snickers* addict? If Nat's review on Lot-O-Choc was anything to go by (and I trust her opinion implicitly) they could certainly be up to the job.

Could I find the imported white Snickers though? Of course not. Luckily for me the lovely Sîan offered to send me a bar. Only she didn't just send me one, she sent me three. How fortunate am I? Thanks Sîan.


They looked much more striking with their snowy white covering. Just look at that cross section! Isn't it attractive?


Crikey. How can a change in chocolate type make all the difference? By all accounts the sweetness should be sickly, but in actual fact the salinity of the peanuts works extraordinarily well against the creamy white chocolate. The Caramel and nougat were as soft and gooey as normal, providing the ultimate juxtaposition of textures against the crunchy nuts.

There's not much more I can add really, apart from that if you're a peanut lover with a sweet tooth then you simply MUST track these limited edition bars down pronto. It's one of the best chocolate bars I've had in a good while!

10/10

  1. This makes me so sad I can't eat whole peanuts (thank goodness I CAN eat peanut butter though eh?) as they look AMAZING! I'm still not over the loss of white chocolate maltesers either, boo. xx

    1. At least you can eat white chocolate Reese's though lovely and their cups are just as good! I think we should start a petition...

    1. ..& this was posted the day before pie week began! I tell you what, you eat the pies and I'll eat the chocolate! Deal?

    2. I will go for both. Deal! I acknowledged that kcals&macros are quite high for the savoury pies/pasties. Of course, I knew it, but still takes some planning to fit in the daily macros. High grease, kcal content in a way is the precursor for the obesity epidemic in this country.
