As you can see in the picture below, it&#8217;s frickin&#8217; full of peanuts.  It&#8217;s perfect for someone who loves peanuts so much that if it were legal, they would marry them, despite the fact it would be REALLY difficult to consummate the marriage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/images\/snickersxtreme2_lg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:right;padding-left:10px;border:none;\" src=\"\/images\/snickersxtreme2_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To figure out how much more xtreme Snickers Xtreme was than regular Snickers, I decided to dissect each candy bar like it was a frog in a biology class, a cadaver in an anatomy class, or a female contestant  on <i>The Bachelor<\/i>.  <\/p>\n<p>However, before I started cutting open each candy bar, I thought just dissecting them wouldn&#8217;t be xtreme enough.  After all, I was dealing with a Snickers Xtreme.  So I decided to try and do an xtreme dissection that involved me blindfolded. underwater without oxygen, surrounded by sharks, and using a live swordfish as my cutting instrument.  Unfortunately, the bill of a swordfish doesn&#8217;t cut very well, but does stab very well, and I can only hold my breath underwater for ten seconds, so I had to settle for a regular dissection.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the picture above the inside of a Snickers Xtreme is nothing but an xtreme amount of peanuts and caramel.  In order to make room for the xtreme amount of peanuts, the Snickers Xtreme no get nougat, which a regular Snickers has.<\/p>\n<p>Get it?  Nougat!  No get!  Hahahaha!  Oh, I think I just caused each my former creative writing professors to die a little inside.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the xtreme amount of peanuts, I thought the Snickers Xtreme didn&#8217;t have a strong peanut taste due to it being kind of drowned out by the xtreme amount caramel.  Regular Snickers has peanut butter nougat, which probably would&#8217;ve helped with the peanut flavor, but it would probably be hard to try and stuff some in the Snickers Xtreme, since doing that is much like trying to put a hat on Donald Trump&#8217;s head, because his head is the size of a blimp and his toupee uses its strand to keep hats away.<\/p>\n<p>There really isn&#8217;t anything else xtreme about the Snickers Xtreme itself.  Its nutritional value is almost the same as a regular Snickers.  A regular Snickers has 280 calories, 14 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 5 mg of cholesterol, 140 mg of sodium, 35 grams of carbs, 1 grams of fiber, 30 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.  A Snickers Xtreme has 290 calories, 16 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 10 mg of cholesterol, 110 mg of sodium, 33 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fiber, 27 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/images\/xtremeironing_lg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:5px;border:none;\" src=\"\/images\/xtremeironing_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, after eating a Snickers Xtreme my life became a little more xtreme.  You would think the probability of my life getting more xtreme because of the Snickers Xtreme is about the same probability of having a good time with someone whose number you found in a public restroom, but for a short time the most mundane parts of my life became xtreme.<\/p>\n<p>For example, eating ice cream.  After eating the Snickers Xtreme, I wasn&#8217;t chowing down on my favorite dairy product with a spoon, instead I took it to the xtreme by eating it with a ladle.  My ironing was even taken to the xtreme.  I didn&#8217;t just iron on my ironing board, I ironed on top of my ironing board, riding it like a surfboard with me ironing my clothes while wearing them.<\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s xtreme!<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Limited Edition Snickers Xtreme<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  59 cents<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  7-Eleven<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Good.  More peanuts, if you LOVE peanuts and want to be together through sickness and in health..  Kinda crunchy.  Temporarily made mundane parts of my life xtreme.  Eating ice cream with a ladle.

Not really more xtreme than regular Snickers.  Not being able to do an xtreme dissection.  Xcessive use of the word &#8220;xtreme&#8221; in this review.
