Dark and darkness.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s the darkness one experiences when there’s no light. There\u2019s the dark colors of evening wear. Then there\u2019s the darkness I keep deep down in my soul that so badly wants to come up but prevent it from doing so with every bit of my energy because I don\u2019t want anyone to ever experience it for fear that doing so shall cause me to be shunned for an eternity by those who get the slightest glimpse at that darkness. And then there\u2019s milk chocolate\u2019s sibling, dark chocolate.<\/p>\n
Nestle has been reaching into its own darkness this year by rolling out Crunch Dark and this new Butterfinger Dark. It has the same crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery center as the original, but with a darker chocolatey coating. <\/p>\n
Yes, chocolatey. Not chocolate.<\/p>\n
The Nestle Crunch Dark Bar boasts how it\u2019s made with 100 percent real chocolate, but this candy bar doesn’t make that claim. A quick ingredients list comparison shows that while the Crunch bar has dark chocolate that uses cocoa butter, this Butterfinger doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
But that doesn\u2019t make it a bad candy bar.<\/p>\n
After eating a couple, I find it to be a tad better than the original Butterfinger and the reason why is the same as why I love the Crunch Dark Bar. Although it doesn\u2019t have the real chocolate deal, whatever that coating is, it makes the candy less sweet. <\/p>\n
I know less sweet candy sounds like a bad thing, like less murderous or nudity Game of Thrones<\/em> or less Dew-y Mountain Dew, but I find regular Butterfinger to be overly sweet nowadays. Get off my lawn. For example, I had a fun size Butterfinger around Halloween and after eating it I came to the realization that I wouldn\u2019t have been able to finish it if it was a full bar. But with this, I found myself chomping away through the whole thing easily. <\/p>\n But with that said, while the coating takes away sweetness, it doesn\u2019t add anything because it doesn\u2019t have the bitterness of dark chocolate. Actually, the exterior isn\u2019t too noticeable. The whole thing tastes like what I imagine eating a naked Butterfinger with just the crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery, crumb-causety center is like, which is still pretty good.<\/p>\n With the Crunch Dark Bar, the chocolate gets to shine because the rice crisps are for texture. But with this bar, the crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery, teeth-stickety center is bold enough that it hides the coating\u2019s flavor as well as I hide the darkness inside of me. <\/p>\n Nestle’s Butterfinger Dark is a pleasant variation of the classic candy bar. While I\u2019m fine with the peanut buttery flavor standing out, I would\u2019ve liked it more if the chocolatey layer added something. But if you enjoy Butterfinger, this candy will brighten your day.<\/p>\n DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free samples from the folks at Nestle.
