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

When you think of chocolate and hazelnut, I\u2019m sure Nutella immediately comes to mind. If not that, then surely everyone\u2019s favorite re-gifted Christmas candy, Ferrero Rocher. But if I asked you to name something beyond that, what would you even say? <\/p>\n

I mean sure there are fancy chocolates everywhere that feature hazelnut, but you can\u2019t just grab one off a convenience store candy rack. That\u2019s why I think Mars is smart to offer their Snickers & Hazelnut bar, as it fills a hole in the market you probably didn\u2019t even realize was open. Rocher aren\u2019t exactly sold next to the Kit Kat and Starburst at your local 7-Eleven.<\/p>\n

That reminds me, I think I still have a rack of re-gifted Ferrero Rocher from last year that I\u2019ll probably three-gift\u2122 this Christmas. Nothing says \u201cwe\u2019re not really all that close\u201d like a plastic crate of Ferrero Rocher.<\/p>\n

I had a fun sized regular Snickers (or nine) lying around, so I decided to stack them against the Snickers & Hazelnut Bar.<\/p>\n

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

The new bar has a different flavor profile. It\u2019s not super different, you still know it\u2019s a Snickers, but there are definitely some dissimilarities. In regular Snickers, the peanut is probably the flavor you taste least. It provides the crunch, but can you really pinpoint peanut flavor? The hazelnut shines most here. Even mixed with the usual peanuts, it overpowers each bite. I\u2019d go as far to say that if they went with just hazelnuts and no peanuts, the flavor might have been over the top.<\/p>\n

Hazelnuts are pretty distinct and I tasted them more than the chocolate and caramel, which I imagine could be undesirable to some, but I quite enjoyed it. It also marries perfectly with the nougat, which I felt was more pronounced. It could have just been the bars I had, but I also thought the texture was softer than a regular Snickers.<\/p>\n

I refuse to say it\u2019s better than the original version, but it\u2019s certainly not far off. Snickers are perfection. They are right up there with Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups as candies that will forever rule the world. You simply can\u2019t improve Snickers, but Mars certainly found a way to toss an almost equally delicious alternative at you.<\/p>\n

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

If you are a candy purist who loves the chocolate and caramel in Snickers, you may not like the hazelnut version as much, but I still think you\u2019ll enjoy it immensely.<\/p>\n

Seriously, Snickers are so good, they are the only candy bar that can get away with releases where they simply add bits of another type of nut. Snickers with almond were good. Snickers with mixed nuts were better. I\u2019m anxiously awaiting the Snickers & Macadamia Bar. Snickers & Cashew would probably be great. What about Snickers & Pecan? Snickers & Filbert? I\u2019m not sure I even know what a filbert is, but bring it on.<\/p>\n

And in case you\u2019re wondering, Snickers & Hazelnut tastes better than a crispy Ferrero Rocher. Give me a few of these for Christmas instead and I won\u2019t have to feign my appreciation. You won\u2019t have to shell out as much cash for the \u201cdecadence\u201d of fancy gold foil.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re hungry, why wait? You probably shouldn\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Hazelnut is the star of the show. Nougat tastes more pronounced. Slightly softer texture than regular Snickers. Snickers branching out with more nut varieties. Three-gifting\u2122.
\nCons:<\/b> Chocolate and caramel flavors not quite as strong. The lack of \u201ceasy\u201d chocolate and hazelnut candy bars. Lazy Ferrero Rocher gifters. Why aren\u2019t Nutella candy bars in every store?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
