Peanuts and chocolate is a great combination and this Snickers limited particular promises to step it up a notch wit the words “Maximum load of peanuts and caramel” appearing on the wrapper. It is described as a “Milk chocolate (35%) with a centre of caramel (38%) and roasted peanuts (26%)”.
The wrapper is nicelooking and gives a good indication of the bar’s content. I for one like it better than the original Snickers’ wrapper. The bar itself looks OK but is a little dull in appearance. Appearance: 7, 5 out of 10.
The bar has aromas of roasted hazelnuts. Also, there are some burnt note which are not so pleasant. And there are aromas of some sort of vegetable fat which I am not able to define more precisely, but this aroma too is not entirely pleasant. Aroma: 6, 5 out of 10.
The texture is chewy and tough and very dense, in my opinion far too dense. There is a little crunch from the peanuts but on the whole there is too far between those peanuts that have not been too finely chopped. Here I would have liked much more crunch to cut the otherwise very dense texture. Texture: 6, 5 out of 10.
The bar is not particularly sweet. It does, however, have a rather strange bitterness and burntness to it, as if some of the ingredients are not top notch. The caramel and the peanuts lack in flavour as does the milk chocolate covering the caramel and peanuts. Flavour: 6 out of 10.
Overall I was disappointed with this bar and did not feel it lived up to the expectations set up for it. I consider the original Snickers proposition superior to this one.
Average: 6, 625 out of 10.
