The flavors may seem odd to the American eye, but purple sweet potato is a common dessert ingredient across Asia and black rice is often used in sweet breakfasts and desserts in Thailand and Indonesia. I couldn\u2019t find any info about why Snickers chose this format, these flavors, and why now. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Snickers-Wafer-Interior-3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snickers Wafer Interior 3\" title=\"Snickers Wafer Interior 3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p>These tasted like the flavors of a Snickers dialed down, with the texture of a foam packing peanut. That sounds dire, but it\u2019s not. Foods have gotten so cranked up with spicy\/sour\/sweet that it was nice to have a break and try something quiet.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Snickers-Wafer-Potato-Fill-6.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snickers Wafer Potato Fill 6\" title=\"Snickers Wafer Potato Fill 6.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the wrapper, these both had a strong peanut butter aroma. I tasted each layer individually at first. The wafers are exactly what you\u2019d expect &#8211; bland, tasteless papery stuff. The caramel peanut layer was very peanutty, not very caramely, and not very sweet. There are crispy peanut bits in all the creme filling layers that give it a little crunch. <\/p>\n<p>Both of the creme layers here were dry and crumbled when I tried to separate them. The purple sweet potato layer tasted earthy but not as intensely as matcha, for example. The black rice creme tasted like LITERALLY NOTHING. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Snickers-Wafer-Ricefill-5.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snickers Wafer Ricefill 5\" title=\"Snickers Wafer Ricefill 5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The chocolate layer was where all the sugar and flavor action was. When I nibbled a piece of it alone, it didn\u2019t taste particularly sweet, but the bar as a whole was a 6-out-of-10 on the sugar scale. I knew the other layers weren\u2019t bringing anything to that table, so it HAD to be the chocolate. It also had an undefinable fruity tang to it. So mysterious. <\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Loving the packaging here &#8211; the pastel pink and purple is such a nice change from Snickers\u2019 usual primary colors and earth tones.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Overall, a nice but subdued wafer bar with a hint of fruit. If you like fresh-pressed, natural peanut butter, you will love these. If you\u2019re a resident of Guy Fieri\u2019s Flavortown, give these a pass. If you\u2019re living in Flavortown but need to take a zen vacation for a few minutes, they might be worth the gamble. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $42.99 + free shipping (24 bars, 12 of each flavor)<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 31 g bar<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (approx 1 bar) <strong>Snickers Crisp Purple Sweet Potato Wafer<\/strong> &#8211; 174 calories, 11 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 43 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of protein. <strong>Snickers Crisp Black Rice Wafer:<\/strong> &#8211; 174 calories, 11 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 45 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Snickers Crisp Black Rice Wafer and Snickers Crisp Purple Sweet Potato Wafer?
