Snickers Almond

Last week, there was no blog post.
I am in the middle of renovations, and I just did not have the time.
Anyway, I hope I can make you forget it with this snickers chocolate bar:

Snickers has been around since the 1930s.
Until 1990 it was namned Marathon in the UK.
But here, it has always been called Snickers
The original snickers has always consisted of nougat, peanuts and caramel with a chocolate coating.
But in this version, they have decided to replace the peanuts with almonds.
Was this a smart move?
Let us find out.



The wrapping is quite nice.
I like the light colour, although it could make you believe it was a Snickers with white chocolate.
It has a faint smell of almonds.
It is definently, not as sweet as the original.
And the almonds ate a bit more bitter than peanuts.

But this is good!
I always found the original Snickers to be to much, to sweet.
The almonds give it a more mature taste.

Snickers 3X Chocolate

A snickers I've never heard about? Yes indeed.
This one is for lovers of chocolate.
They are really aiming for chocolate here you see.
Chocolate flavoured nougat, chocolate caramel and peanuts wrapped in chocolate.
And then wrapped in a hideous wrapper.
I mean, it's just so blue and BOLD!
Inside we find two heavy chocolate bars, each enough to feed an army of small ferrets.
I would totally raise an army of small ferrets!
I could train them to get out and get me more candy.
The bars are the definition of chocolatey smell. It's almost obnoxious.
But not to a point where I wouldn't want to try it of course.



Like I said, the bars are heavy and a lot to chew.
Amongst the chocolate you can of course, taste the peanuts.
But the nougat and caramel is hiding somewhere deep inside and wants to cover their taste as much as possible.
You can still taste them, but I would have liked them to be stronger.
I didn't say it before, but I don't like the original snickers.
This one, I like more. But there is another...
