Anyway, I digress, did you know that Snickers is the fastest selling singles bar in the U.S? Well according to Mars it is!
"Crispy satisfaction is on the horizon with new SNICKERS® Crisper - a delicious combination of crisped rice and peanuts topped with a layer of caramel and coated in creamy SNICKERS® Brand milk chocolate."This snickers is in the same format as their wonderful Peanut Butter squared bar*, with two individual chocolate covered cubes. Once sliced, the even layers of peanuts, rice, caramel and chocolate became apparent.
Fortunately the other components were far more enjoyable: the oozy caramel above the peanuts and puffed rice- which were both as crispy as promised. The ratio of each element worked well together, but I can't help thinking that the bar could've benefitted from some extra saltiness to balance out the sweetness, perhaps in the caramel layer.
I'm glad I tried this bar, it's novel, but I probably wouldn't buy it again in all honesty. If I was hankering for another American crunchy peanut chocolate bar, I'd rather a Take 5.
6/10
*I was fortunate enough to be sent the yummy Snickers PB Squared by fellow blogger One Treat & you can read a fair review of the bar by Nibs 'N' Scribs here.
Do you remember a UK bar ... Snickers cruncher?! It was about 5 years ago and was amazing. And yes, they discontinued it :-(
ReplyDeleteI don't! What made it cruncher? It's always the way.. Fuse bars, Mars delight, snowflake, marble.. Boo.
DeleteIt had a less gooey centre and more nuts I think. I loved them. I miss the fuse and snowflake sooooo much. Not to mention the Wispabite!
