Chow Peanut Butter Snickers... FINALLY.
Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 11:27 AM
Snickers finally caught on to the peanut butter trend (FROM 1998) and recently introduced these to the market:
I regret not buying one when I saw them. I bet they're delicious! I like how it comes in two square pieces instead of one long bar, too. Good for sharing! Or saving for later! (Yeah, right, like any sane person would save half a Peanut Butter Snickers bar for later.)
Have you had one? Is it the BEST THING EVER?

Snickers. Original Snickers. No substitutions, deletions, omissions, replacements, exchanges. This may be good, but it cannot be original Snickers good. Can't be. Nope.

The 2010 entry is technically just a prediction at this stage, of course - could get pushed to 2011 - but the numbers are looking really good, and confidence is high.

Dammit T, now I want a Snickers AND some ice cream.
Oh yeah, a Snickers Blizzard would be GOOD right now!

I try every candy that comes out, and I have to say that I was underwhelmed by the snickers peanut butter. The texture was a little too yielding for a snickers bar usually made with chewy nougat and the taste was a little bland. Compared with the many innovative peanut butter based candies from Reese's (Fast break, nutrageous, crispy cruncy) it left me feeling a bit let down. A regular snickers is better.
13
aren't snickers already peanut [butter] flavored? it looks like they just altered the format of the peanut and changed the packaging.
15
You would think this is good, but that's only because America misses out on the Cadbury 'Picnic', the best nut-related bar in history. It is... "deliciously ugly" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co…

@14 - in real life i'm sure that probably wouldn't work out all that well, but sitting at my desk here at work, snickers + brandy + blender sounds pretty damn good.

Peanut butter snickers have been around for more than 15 years (I used to make them). The two squares thing is new though...

*gasp* Delicious peanut butter - my only weakness!
Waitaminute... doesn't Snickers already have peanuts in it?

you guys. YOU GUYS. have you heard of the reese's nutrageous(tm)? despite its horrible name, it's basically what a peanut butter snickers would be, in long form. it is delish. i've gotten mired in some dietary restriction bullshit, though, so i cannot confirm that PB snickers is similar, or more/less delish.
22
Not new, they tried it in the 90's. It was awesome while it lasted. My favorite candy bar while they existed.
23
This was my favorite candy bar in the early 90's. I've been waiting for the last decade and a half for them to come back.
28
Sorry to say this is a remake of an old favorite I used to eat peanut butter snickers out of an orange wrapper back in my middle school days. Like circa 1992 and have always wished they would bring it back. But back then it was just one long candy bar.
29
It's just a snickers with the caramel replaced with peanut butter. I'm not a fan of caramel, so this is great for me!

It is SO FREAKING GOOD. Seriously, it is going to be my downfall in my attempt to get ready for bikini season.

Peanut butter Snickers were around in 1995. They had a dark orange wrapper. They weren't available for very long, though. They were the best candy bar ever. I was so excited when I saw the Snickers peanut butter squares.
