Milky Way Limited Edition Marshmallow with Caramel

Hey Martians!

Wait. That’s what they call Mars Candy fans, right?

Anyhoo, Mars will not only be bringing back Crispy M&M’s in 2015, but they’ll also be releasing two new limited edition candy bars — Milky Way Marshmallow with Caramel and Snickers Mixed Nuts.

The limited edition Milky Way bar features marshmallow nougat and a layer caramel coated with milk chocolate. If the marshmallow nougat sounds familiar, it was also inside the Snickers Rockin’ Nut Road Bar.

Snickers Limited Edition Mixed Nuts Bar

As for the Snickers Mixed Nuts Bar, it combines peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, caramel, and nougat, all of which is coated with milk chocolate.

The Milky Way Limited Edition Marshmallow with Caramel Bar will be released in mid-2015, while the Snickers Limited Edition Mixed Nuts Bar will hit shelves in late-2015.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Taco Bell Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch

/ / Fast Food News / 5 Comments

Taco Bell Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch

If you follow Taco Bell closely, you probably thought their Doritos Locos Tacos were going to end up in either their Double Decker Taco or Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Well, my Taco Bell obsessed friend, you are correct. The Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch is here.

It’s a warm flatbread that’s attached to a Doritos Locos Taco using a melted three-cheese blend as the glue, and then it’s topped with a zesty pepper jack sauce. According to the Taco Bell website, the Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch is available with either a Nacho Cheese or Fiery Doritos Locos Taco, but I’m sure you could get it with a Cool Ranch DLT if you asked.

The Doritos Nacho Cheese Cheesy Gordita Crunch has 490 calories, 28 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 880 milligrams of sodium, 40 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, and 20 grams of protein. The Fiery version has 490 calories, 28 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 890 milligrams of sodium, 40 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, and 20 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Starbucks Discoveries Peppermint Mocha

Posted something about the Starbucks Discoveries Gingerbread Latte earlier. Didn’t know then it had a sibling that’s as festive. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Bisque & New England Clam Chowder with Thyme

Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup

Fast pot these Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Soups by not following their instructions and heating them on your stove at the highest setting. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Jimmy Dean Delights English Muffin Applewood Smoke Chicken Sausage Patty Sandwich

Pear trees will be known for pears and the first gift in “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” while apple trees will be known for apples and meat smoking. Apple tree wins! (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

Twizzlers Caramel Apple Filled Twists

I would like to apologize to everyone who sent in a photo of these (I think there were seven of you). After doing a quick Google search, I thought they were a returning product. But then I later read a press release saying they were new. My bad. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)
