Slog - Comments on Feel the Rush, Eat a Snickers http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/feel_the_rush_eat_a_snickers Snickers Adventure Bar. I know, right? It's to coincide with the new Indiana Jones movie coming out next month. So to celebrate, they take a regular Snickers and put some coconut flavoring and "a cliffhanger kick of exotic spice" into it. I'm not exactly sure why. You taste the coconut the instant you bite into it. It's weird, but not horrible. Then the spices come as the chocolate starts to melt--they're strongest as an after-taste. My boyfriend thinks I'm wrong, but I swear it's curry. I'm pretty sure I never need to eat it again....

A real adventure bar would have monkey brains in it.

These advertisements go way past annoying.

I have a wicked sweet tooth -- I always say my dream job would be in candy bar R&D.

Your food posts on processed junk food are some of my favorite food writing on the Internets. I especially appreciate your public-service-oriented, "I'm-trying-this-so-you-don't-have-to" approach.

Also, try Japanese candy, if you can get ahold of some, like cherry-blossom-flavor Kit Kats - same exciting novelty as the curry-coconut Snickers, but higher production value.

It mixes well with coconuts and peanuts, we know that from our Thai food...

Cumin is expensive but doesn't take much, and would give it kick, and is certainly curry-licious.

A touch of cardamom (expensive but intense) or saffron and you have the what I would've tried first if this were my disgusting-candy-bar experiment to perform.

But I'm curious about the chocolate/spice combination. Any non-peanut candy bars out there trying something similar?
