Ordered 3 Musketeers for my adult daughter who loved them as a child. She is disappointed as the mint it too minty, it was chocolate ones she loved. The cost of postage was far more than the cost of the item so she will not be getting any more from U.S. Mars bars are nothing like the old 3 Musketeers.

I agree about the garbageness of the Mars Rocks.

My theory is that they were trying to emulate the ever-so-wonderful Boost bar and failed dismally.

Amber is correct, an Australian Mars bar is like an American Milky Way. And just to confuse people, a Milky Way in Australia is basically what a Three Musketeers is in America :-).

“and it has a layer of caramel at the top.”

Wouldn’t that make it more like a Milky Way than a 3 Musketeers?

I won’t even mention what my 8 year old son said this looked like. Let’s just say his dog was referenced. Fortunately, in the world of little boys this is a positive thing and we’ll be sure to try it. Squish and all.

There is definitely something to be said for the “squishiness” factor when it comes to a favorite part of an eating experience. I have a friend who has a thing for “squidgy” cheese (i.e. the texture of the chewiness of the cheese), thus the “squidge” factor being paramount to her cheese-loving pleasure. I have a texture thing with foods, too, and especially candy. Too bad this one didn’t do it for you, ’cause it’s looks pretty darn tasty just from the photo! But true, texture can ruin a perfectly good piece of anything, but seems especially cruel when it’s candy!
