Have you ever wondered what a Snickers-Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup mash-up would taste like? I imagine that’s what Mars Inc. was going for when the company released Snickers Peanut Butter Squared, a concoction “filled with peanut butter, peanuts, caramel and nougat and covered in milk chocolate,” as the label explains.
As a fan of both Reese’s and Snickers (though Reese’s cups get the slight edge — I promise Hershey’s didn’t pay me to say that), I anticipated this addition of peanut butter to Snickers bars would be divine. So perhaps my expectations were a little too high; when I bit into the Snickers peanut butter square, I wasn’t blown away. That’s not to say it isn’t tasty — it definitely is. It just tasted like a regular Snickers bar to me but with a little more peanut flavoring. Basically, if you like Snickers, I can’t imagine you wouldn’t like this.
Snickers Peanut Butter Squared looks similar to a regular Snickers bar, but what’s nifty about this particular product is that Mars broke up it up into two separate squares (which unfortunately makes the overall weight of this candy less than that of a regular bar); the packaging even has instructions to “Save one for later†by twisting the wrapper closed. So if you’re looking to exercise a little self-control while eating a Snickers, these suckers will be a little easier to stash away for later. If you can wait that long. The squares are a little small, so it might be hard to stop after only one.
OH! these looks yummy… i wonder if they taste as good as they look… hope retailers will have them soon.
