Snickers Xtreme

XTREEEEEEEEME! Snickers Xtreme with an “Xtreme amount of peanuts”! I’m so pumped guys! Argh, goddamn, this bar has 5 GRAMS OF PROTEIN! And it’s LIMITED EDITION! And it’s…uhh…got an XTREME GUARANTEE OF QUALITY AND FRESHNESS! YEEEEEAH!

Ok, enough of that. I hate the word “extreme” or “xtreme”, it’s not used at all here in Britain but I see it in some movies, like Harold and Kumar, and the idea seems ridiculous to me. Snickers have tried to cash in on it though with this limited edition peanut and caramel bar. But wait, isn’t the normal Snickers peanuts and caramel? What’s the difference here? Let’s open this up.

So I should have used a knife to cut it, but I figured it would be more XTREME of me to use my bear hands. MANLY! Now normally the Snickers has peanuts, caramel and nougat. The Snickers XTREME has all caramel in the middle, with an XTREME amount of peanuts added in.

The caramel is XTREMEly tough and thick, and almost takes on a nougat-like consistency. The peanuts are as XTREME as you’d expect them to be, and overall this bar put hair on my chest, made my muscles bulge and made me want to go outside and kick children and eat kittens.

In all seriousness, I actually really liked this. It was gone in about 4 bites, but they were big bites. I felt full after eating this, and jokes aside, if it’s still about, I’d say it’s worth a look, I just wish the advertising wasn’t so ridiculously off putting.
