A week or so ago, I posted how to get some free Nestle Stixx and yesterday they arrived (that was fast). I chose the Nestle Crunch Stixx and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I didn’t really pay attention to what I was getting, I was more focused on the FREE CANDY aspect. No matter how much free candy I receive, it still amazes me that you can get free candy in the mail.
So what are Nestle Crunch Stixx? They are 5.5 inch long tubes that are a crunchy wafer filled with a chocolatey-creamy substance, then coated in chocolate and crisped rice. On first bite I knew I recognized the taste and after a few bites I got it – they are chocolate-covered Piroulines. We used to buy Piroulines maybe once a year – they come in a tin of about 25 (14oz) and cost about $5-$7. My wife and I love them and we would buy them as a treat for ourselves.
The Nestle Stixx is the exact same thing as a pirouline only it’s dipped in chocolate and crisped rice. The Piroulines are wonderful and covering them in chocolate doesn’t do much to make them better. Covering something already wonderful in chocolate can’t be a bad thing though.
I really wish I would have chosen the Butterfinger flavor just to see how they integrated the Butterfinger taste into it. My friend Cybele from the Candy Blog tried the Dark Chocolate Stixx and gave it a 7/10 rating. If I had to give the Nestle Crunch Stixx a numerical rating that’s about the number I would give it too.
Stixx come in a pack of 6 and retails for $1.99.
BTW – if you did get the free Stixx, they will send you an email with a link to “Pass the Stixx” to 3 other people – use it to get 3 more free Stixx for your friends/family!

I signed up for the Butterfinger stixx, so I’ll report back on how they are. They retail for only $1.99 in your neighborhood? Dang, I paid too much.
RESPONSE: $1.99 is the MSRP :)

You know, in general Im a cheapskate, but I tried these (free GRIN) and you know I might actually spend the stupid $2 to get these!
I bought a two-pack of these at a gas station in Atmore, Alabama yesterday. Good stuff, but I didn’t taste much Crunch flavor. Have you tried the Butterfinger Stixx yet?
