\"Snickers<\/a><\/p>\n

Chocolate. Caramel. Peanuts. Nougat. Perfection.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t improve on perfection, but adding crisp rice pieces to a Snickers bar certainly can\u2019t be a bad thing.<\/p>\n

Enter Snickers Crisper – crisp rice, milk chocolate, caramel, peanuts and…<\/p>\n

Hold on. Let me just flip the bag over and see if it says \u201cnougat\u201d somewhere. Surely they couldn\u2019t have removed the nougat. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see it. Ha. This must be a typo. I can\u2019t believe they would send out a bag like this with such a mistake, but I\u2019ll let it slide. They were probably rushing them to the shelves for the holidays. <\/p>\n

Let me just take a quick bite and confirm that there is indeed the delicious nougat I\u2019ve become accustomed to in a Snickers bar.<\/p>\n

Mmmm. Oh yeah. Good crunch, familiar Snickers taste, and…<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not there. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not there?!<\/p>\n

Remain calm. It\u2019s gotta be in there somewhere. I will find the nougat! Let me just take one more bite.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no nougat. What a tragedy. I assumed this was just a nice Snickers bar with some crispy rice thrown in for additional crunch\u2026 but no noug…<\/small><\/p>\n

Sorry about that, I passed out from shock.<\/p>\n

\"Snickers<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Snickers<\/a><\/p>\n

However, nougat omission aside, it\u2019s delicious. There were about 15 fun-sized pieces in the bag, and I put down ten easy.<\/p>\n

Why wouldn\u2019t it be delicious? If the word \u201cSnickers\u201d is in the title, you can pretty much guarantee it\u2019s gonna be good. It\u2019s the same Mars chocolate you grew up with. It\u2019s the same silky caramel you know and love, and it\u2019s the same peanuts. I don\u2019t really have anything fond to say about them because they\u2019re just peanuts.<\/p>\n

I was clearly worried that the lack of nougat would screw with the texture of the bar, but there\u2019s still enough chocolate and caramel to keep it from being a \u201cwafery\u201d crisp. The ingredients still mesh well enough that you won\u2019t even miss the nougat all that much.<\/p>\n

\"Snickers<\/a><\/p>\n

To me it tastes like a Kudos Bar<\/a>. I actually got hit with a nostalgia wave when I bit in. I used to eat Kudos religiously as a kid, but haven\u2019t had one in years. This is a Kudos Snickers bar covered in chocolate. <\/p>\n

Keeping that in mind, Snickers Crisper Bars are a different chew than normal. The crisp isn\u2019t a bad element by any means, but these just taste and feel more like a chewy granola bar than your standard Snickers candy bar. Although these are fun size pieces, I\u2019d recommend biting into a square and not putting the whole thing in your mouth, unless you’d like a jaw workout.<\/p>\n

So while this new candy bar isn\u2019t as perfect as regular Snickers, it’s really close.<\/p>\n
