\"CoolSnickers1<\/p>\n

What Snickers Cool Coconut, Cool Lemon and Cool Peach?<\/h3>\n

Again, China is working overtime to woo me with novelty junk food flavors and I’m happy to let them.<\/p>\n

These are basically the previously-reviewed Japanese Snickers White<\/a> with fruit flavors added – coconut, lemon and peach – and a “cooling” effect. I was excited for peach Snickers anyway, but COOL Snickers? Let\u2019s do it – I already lit this mouth up with Fiery Snickers<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"CoolSnickers2<\/p>\n

How are they? <\/h3>\n

While not the best Snickers I’ve tried, these were really interesting. The caramel and peanuts were the same as a regular Snickers. The white chocolate was over-the-top sweet and the nougat bland, both like the Japanese White version. Yet each flavor was a slightly different experience. <\/p>\n

The coconut bars had a subtle, surprisingly-authentic aroma. The flavor closely resembled sweetened coconut flakes you’d buy at the grocery store. The cooling effect was least prominent in this flavor – it’s like the sensation of menthol without the mint flavor. <\/p>\n

\"CoolSnickers3<\/p>\n

The lemon had a less appealing smell – a little fishy. Thankfully, once out of the wrapper, it dissipated.<\/p>\n

The flavor was a tasty sweet lemon-meringue-type lemon. There was more of the menthol cooling effect than the coconut. I was warming up to these “cool” bars.<\/p>\n

\"CoolSnickers4<\/p>\n

The peach was also fishy, but again disappeared out of the package. I really liked the peach flavor – it was strong and not too synthetic. This was the “cool”-est of the bars – the menthol was kicking! It was a really fun sensation (a little cool AND warm), and not as medicinal as it might seem. <\/p>\n

All three flavors could have benefitted from actual fruit mix-ins – coconut flakes, lemon zest, peach chunks. Often a visual or texture element goes a long way to convince us something could be real.<\/p>\n

\"CoolSnickers5<\/p>\n

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

The pack I purchased consisted of four small bars (each made up of two 1.5-inch squares) in containers that looked like soda cans. Slaying me. “Things that look like other things” is the third-best way to get my money – right behind “miniature things” and “animals dressed like people.”<\/p>\n

\"CoolSnickers6<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Between the unusual flavors and cooling effect, Cool Snickers were fun and were pretty tasty. If they come stateside (summer – perfect time – just sayin’), they’re worth a try. Probably only worth overpaying for them on eBay if you’re a hardcore novelty junkie. <\/p>\n
