<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hey folks, it\u2019s your resident “S\u2019more Connoisseur,” and I am BACK for more.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s review comes compliments of Hershey\u2019s new snack line, \u201cCrunchers.\u201d You might\u2019ve already seen the Reese\u2019s and Cookies N\u2019 Cream versions in your local convenience store. I\u2019ve tried and enjoyed both, so I had to pounce on these S\u2019morsels (what they should have been called) as soon as I saw them.<\/p>\n
So, what the heck is a \u201cCruncher?\u201d Well, they\u2019re basically little globs of chocolate with crunchy ingredients tossed in. As you would imagine, S\u2019mores Crunchers have mini marshmallows, graham pieces, and graham cookies. I\u2019ll touch on that redundancy later.<\/p>\n
I opted for the larger sized bag. Let\u2019s see if I made the right choice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Well, right off the bat, they didn\u2019t smell very good. Does chocolate spoil? It smells like what I assume old spoiled chocolate would smell like. Whatever, I can get over that if they taste good.<\/p>\n
I mean, I guess? There\u2019s just too much chocolate. I realize that sounds stupid because if these were in bar form, it might be the same ratio, but they tasted like a regular Hershey’s bar.<\/p>\n
The graham and marshmallow peak through as you chew, but the overwhelming chocolate always took over. It\u2019s like eating misshapen Kisses with random bits mixed in.<\/p>\n
You probably read that and thought, \u201cAh, that doesn\u2019t seem so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, I have a major problem with S\u2019mores Crunchers, and it has to do with the little marbits clumped amongst the chocolate.<\/p>\n
The marshmallows are HARD AS A ROCK. I\u2019m serious. Take this as your warning. It\u2019s not pleasant.<\/p>\n
There are some pieces that have just graham, which lived up to the \u201cCruncher\u201d name, but any clump with a marshmallow was like chewing on a pebble. I may have dental paranoia, but I had to chew with extreme caution. These things taste like they\u2019re Rocky Road flavored, and literally made with bits of a rocky road.<\/p>\n
I isolated a few of the tiny marshmallows to confirm it was them. I was expecting that crunchy, spongey, powdery texture you get from hot cocoa marbits, but nah, these are rough. They melt in your mouth in time, but I doubt you\u2019ll take solace after cracking a crown. <\/p>\n
The bag boasts these are \u201cA delightfully munchable crunchy snack.\u201d I counter that they are a \u201cdecent, terrifying dentist visit waiting to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The graham pieces and cookies were also irrelevant. I guess they wanted two different shapes because there is no taste or textural difference between them.<\/p>\n
I could see these as a snack mix ingredient, not a standalone. Since there is so much chocolate, there needs to be something savory, like pretzels, to balance it out. That\u2019s how I\u2019m finishing this bag, if I even bother.<\/p>\n
The Reese\u2019s and Cookies N\u2019 Cream varieties of these Crunchers are considerably better, so choose those or go for the Hershey\u2019s Snack Mix. They’re usually on the shelf right beside these anyway.<\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.19
\nSize:<\/b> 6.5 oz. bag
\nPurchased at:<\/b> CVS
\nRating:<\/b> 4 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Well on its way to being a pretty good snack mix ingredient. It\u2019s still Hershey chocolate. Pieces with just graham are fine.
\nCons:<\/b> Marshmallows are a textural nightmare. Not a good standalone snack. Too much chocolate. Two types of graham for nothing. Worst of the Cruncher varieties so far. Bit of a lazy concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
