What is Snickers White?<\/h3>\n

I’m in Japan – the mecca of novelty junk food! Of course, I sought out some new and quirky offerings. The traditional Snickers candy bar gets a paler makeover with white chocolate coating and lighter nougat filling. When I spied these on the shelf, they seemed so familiar, but I hadn\u2019t seen or tried them before. <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

When I unwrapped the candy bar, I didn\u2019t know whether to bite into it or spread it on my toast. It looked like a stick of butter. <\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Once righted, I noticed the white chocolate coating was thin enough that I could make out individual nuts through it. ?
\n\"Limited<\/p>\n

The caramel and peanuts here are the familiar and delicious Snickers taste combo, but the nougat is different. It\u2019s slightly lighter in color and taste. I couldn\u2019t tell if it was vanilla flavored or just generic \u201csugar.\u201d It faded away behind the caramel, peanuts and white chocolate. I\u2019m usually a big nougat fan, so this was a bummer.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

The white chocolate in this candy bar was the dominant flavor, and very sweet. Cloyingly sweet to me. I found it a little off-putting. It also melted much quicker than the regular chocolate coating, so I ended up with white fingerprints all over my airline seat. <\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

Staging an impromptu Snickers bar photo session on a plane will most certainly garner odd looks from the stranger sitting next to you. Be warned.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Snickers White comes off as a too-sweet, washed out photocopy of an actual Snickers. Not as exciting as Snickers\u2019 <\/a>other recent innovations.<\/p>\n
