This is going to be a super quick review. Introducing the Snickers Crisp…
The description is:
Milk chocolate (35%) with caramel (40%), peanuts (13%) and crisped rice (11%).
The bar is also labelled as suitable for Vegetarians.
Ingredients: Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Peanuts, Rice Flour, Palm Fat, Full Cream Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Humectant (Glycerol), Skimmed Milk Powder, Lactose, Salt, Dextrose, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin), Natural Vanilla Extract, Milk Chocolate contains Milk Solids 14% minimum.
This Snickers Crisp packet actually contains two little bars, which I really liked. It meant I could eat just one and save the other for later in the day. Which I successfully managed to do! Oh ye of little faith. This is basically two “fun size” Snickers Crisp bars wrapped up together.
Now we all know a Snickers bar includes a layer of nougat and a layer of peanut embedded caramel, smothered in a fairly cheap but familiar milk chocolate.
What Mars have done is take that layer of nougat and replace it with a toffee-coated crisped rice.
Friends on the Internet, what we have here is the result of a Toffee Crisp and a Snickers getting it on. It’s the love child of Nestlé and Mars chocolate bars.
Of course this bar is still Snickers level peanutty and caramelicious (not a word, whatever), but there’s a layer of toffee-sugar coated puffed rice instead of chewy nougat. It’s cereal-airy-crunchy and caramel sweet.
It is actually a touch on the sweet side for me personally, so it was great that I could eat the bar in two sittings. I really liked the flavour and texture of the bar. No it’s not quite a Snickers, but that’s ok. It doesn’t need to be. I like it for what it is.
So who should buy this? People who want a handful of peanuts with their Toffee Crisp.
Who else should buy this? People who want a layer of toffee-coated puffed rice with their Snickers.
