\"Creamy<\/p>\n

After its three \u201c<\/a>intense flavors\u201d last summer Snickers is back with three more enticing new candy bars to satisfy your sweet tooth. This time it’s jumping on the nut butter bandwagon and replacing its signature full-size crunchy nuts with smooth and creamy butters.<\/p>\n

\"Creamy<\/p>\n

They are available in multiple sizes, but for this review, I went with the sharing pouches that contain 11 individually wrapped squares. The flavors are creamy peanut butter, creamy almond butter, and creamy maple almond butter. <\/p>\n

Creamy Snickers Peanut Butter<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\"Creamy<\/p>\n

The peanut butter was the first one I tried, and I immediately thought I got a dud of a bar. Where are the nuts? This isn\u2019t a Snickers! Then I realized that the point of these bars was that the usual very noticeable nuts are now in the form of creamy butters. This one contains a layer of freshly ground peanut butter on top of caramel and ground peanuts all enrobed in milk chocolate.<\/p>\n

This one reminded me of something, obviously relating to the king of the peanut butter\/chocolate throne \u2013 Reese\u2019s. I couldn\u2019t quite put my finger on it as I was indulging so I went to enlist Mr. Google\u2019s help, and it soon dawned on me. <\/p>\n

Folks, ladies, and gentlemen, please move along \u2014 nothing to see (or taste) here. This is a Nutrageous bar<\/a> in square form and 24 years after the fact. It\u2019s good as you can\u2019t go wrong with the combo of peanut butter and chocolate, but it\u2019s nothing new and certainly not reminiscent of a Snickers. <\/p>\n

Creamy Snickers Almond Butter<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\"Creamy<\/p>\n

After the disappointment of the peanut butter one, I had my expectations in check as I dove into bag number 2, but this is where things finally got interesting.<\/p>\n

This one contains a layer of freshly ground almond butter on top of caramel and ground almonds all enrobed in milk chocolate. I was amazed as you can smell the nuttiness of the almonds before even biting in. With peanut butter, it always has to knock other flavors out of the way. The almond flavor here is more muted, but it allows all components to work together.<\/p>\n

Snickers Almond Butter seems like it should be an oxymoron, but it works pretty well. The butter is a little grittier, but this adds to the joy as it really stands out to me that I’m eating a Snickers with freakin\u2019 almond butter in it! <\/p>\n

Creamy Snickers Maple Almond Butter<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\"Creamy<\/p>\n

Finally, the maple one that I saved for last. But as the old adage tells us (and it rings true this time), this was definitely the best of the bunch.<\/p>\n

This one is identical to the almond butter one but contains maple-flavored caramel and boy is it intense! I love all things maple so it may be too much for those who aren\u2019t a fan. However, out of all three, this one was the first one where I thought I was eating something delicious and different. The maple is a lot, but it is punctuated by the nutty almond butter, the chewy caramel, and of course the chocolate.<\/p>\n

Other Things:<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
    \n
  • For all three the milk chocolate is just your standard candy bar variety, nothing special. The ground nuts in the caramel in each one also add a little bit of crunchy texture but not much.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \"Creamy<\/p>\n

  • To go along with the trendy\/elevated ingredients, the packaging seems to have gotten an upgrade too. I\u2019m digging the silhouette peanut & almond graphics as they are minimalist but also eye-catching both at the same time. The material also has more of a matte finish and seems to be a bit thicker. It does elevate the experience. However, the Snickers people want to make sure that they don\u2019t come across as too snooty. Look at the backs of each bag \u2013 these aren\u2019t artisanal, they are artisanal-ish. Take that homemade chocolate!<\/li>\n
  • With peanut butter and almond butter conquered, anybody excited for Snickers Cashew Butter, Snickers Sunflower Butter, or how about Snickers School Safe Peanut Free Soy Butter?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
