Every time I review a novelty sweet, I issue a rating out of 10. This is a process I almost always agonize over, as though I will later need to justify my assessment in a court of candy law. When I weigh the final consideration that will knock a rating down a point or elevate it to greatness, I often ask: \u201cIs this new flavor better than the original variety?\u201d<\/p>\n
The question is almost always rhetorical, because the classics\u2014the Reese\u2019s, Kit Kats, and Snickers\u2014are so embedded in our hearts and taste buds that they set an almost unsurpassable standard. But Butterfinger is making me consider this question seriously, as its limited-edition offerings\u2014most recently, Marshmallow<\/a> and Salted Caramel<\/a>\u2014have been exceptional. The new, breakfast-inspired Butterfinger French Toast bar continues this pattern of success.<\/p>\n Butterfinger French Toast consists of the classic, crispy peanut butter core and a French Toast-flavored confectionary coating. I half-expected this bar to taste like a knockoff of any Cinnamon Toast Crunch candy, but its combination of flavors stands out as unique. The coating is a well-balanced combination of maple syrup and cinnamon. It tastes like what coats maple-dipped peanuts, but creamier and less sugary (although still very sweet!) with an added dash of cinnamon for good measure. There is also a subtle buttery flavor that makes the bar smell and taste like a sweet breakfast, not just maple or maple cinnamon.<\/p>\n I thought the flavored coating might clash with the peanut butter center, but I am happy to be wrong again. The toffee-like quality of the center complements the creamy coating, and the nutty, slightly salty flavor adds dimension to all the sweetness. No single flavor is fighting for attention at this breakfast table.<\/p>\n The French Toast flavor completes one year of Butterfinger\u2019s exciting three limited-edition flavors. Consider them the Powerpuff Girls of candy bars: sugar, spice, and everything nice, a descriptor that could belong to the French Toast variety alone.<\/p>\n So, are these flavors better than the original chocolate coating? Should Butterfinger get out of the chocolate game entirely and specialize in flavored cr\u00e8me coatings? It\u2019s hard to say, but I hope the brand continues to cook up more innovative offerings.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.19 Every time I review a novelty sweet, I issue a rating out of 10.
