Banana Nut Bread Snickers: A skeptic's surprising review
The newest Snickers flavor is a major departure from the original candy bar, and one skeptic ate the entire thing.
In brief
The newest Snickers flavor is a major departure from the original candy bar, and one skeptic ate the entire thing. Banana Nut Bread Snickers tastes surprisingly authentic, with banana nougat that complements rather than overwhelms the classic chocolate, caramel and peanuts. Originally reported by Taste of Home.
A banana candy skeptic
The writer loves banana desserts but hates artificial banana candy. When Snickers announced a banana flavor, she was skeptical.
Early access at Walgreens
She stopped by Walgreens days before the official release and found the new bars early. She bought three for her family, none for herself.
“I bought three, one for each member of my family except me.”
What's actually different
Banana Nut Bread Snickers keeps the milk chocolate, caramel and peanuts. The only change is banana-flavored nougat replacing the original.
Available September 18
The new flavor officially arrives September 18 at Walgreens. It's exclusive to the chain for a limited time.
She ate the whole thing
Despite planning to take one bite, she finished the bar in about a minute. The banana flavor was much less artificial than expected.
“I expected that first bite to be plenty. Instead, I finished the bar in about a minute.”
Still tastes like Snickers
The banana doesn't overpower the chocolate, caramel and peanuts. It still tastes like a Snickers, which may be the most important thing it gets right.
“It still tastes like a Snickers, which may be the most important thing it gets right.”
The bottom line
Banana Nut Bread Snickers tastes surprisingly authentic, with banana nougat that complements rather than overwhelms the classic chocolate, caramel and peanuts.
