"Peanut butter and chocolate just got better!" claims the promo for the new Snickers Peanut Butter Squared campaign. But did they? We Slashfooders ran out for a bag of the new candy bars (each a 1.78-ounce square) as soon as they hit the store shelves today. I mean, it's a Snickers, the classic chocolate bar. What's to improve?
Turns out, not much. "I'm not getting the peanut," said one editor. "The nougat flavor is overwhelming." "I wanted more peanut butter," said our resident candy fanatic. "I feel like I've been duped!" And our resident candy curmudgeon said, "It's kind of a mess."
The verdict? Keep it classic, Snickers, with just the peanuts (singular) or up the ante on the peanut butter. But we still love you.

The peanut butter enhanced the flavor of the chocolate, although I am not a chocoholic, and the addition of the peanuts really made the cut! Try it as a new candy, don't compare it to the classic snickers bar. It really is good!

Like John said if you like it.. get more if not don't... it's not the end of the world... and Judy... because your so sensitive over an ad... your just missing out on the best candy bar out there... WOW! There is bigger problems out there.

The light chocolate comes with almonds but the delicious dark chocolate one come sans almonds -- WHY!?? PS I haven't yet seen a Snickers Bar with peanut butter, but I almost think I won't like it. My MOST FAVORITEST candy bar is the unadulterated original Snickers Bar. What they could do to improve the Snickers Bar would be to make it with DARK chocolate instead of milk chocolate -- just a suggestion...
