Snicker's Fudge is Here!!!!!!!!!

Candy season is here and I'm so excited!! Halloween starts it and it rolls right through Easter. Happy Days are here again!!

This is just a quick post to let you know what I found Friday. I've been checking out all the Halloween candy to see if there's anything new and lo and behold! I came across these:

Oh yeah, baby - Snickers Fudge is in the house! Snickers Fudge debuted at Candy Expo and I reviewed it a while back. It really is fantastic - the nougat is peanut butter and the caramel (in the regualr Snickers) is replaced with fudge - see below:

I found these at Target in with the Halloween candy, but they aren't decorated for the holiday. (I don't think they are Halloween candy at all - but you might have to look there.) They ARE marked limited edition. So you better be on the lookout if you want to try them. (And, of course, I think you should!!) I love Snickers, but I actually think these are just a little bit better - it's the saltiness of the peanut butter.

You never know where you might something new and exciting - keep your eyes (and your possibilities) open.

Candy Expo and Snickers

I love Snickers - it really is one of my favorite candy bars. And at Candy Expo the newest Snickers was unveiled - Snickers Fudge. But while I'm going there, I also thought I'd throw in some other Snickers variations: almond, Transformers Snickers with yellow nougat, and Snickers Dark.













And of course, the autopsy:

Okay - the random weird yellow nougat one is new also. It tastes like a regular Snickers but the nougat is yellow as you can see. I guess if kids are really into Transformers this may seem cool and sell Snickers. I was intrigued but am unimpressed. Snickers Almond is good, can't complain here, but I like the regular Snickers better. Dark was my least favorite. I know dark chocolate is hot right now, but I prefer the milk chocolate on the Snickers Bar. After all, back in the day a special blend of flavors was created for the Snickers chocolate coating. I like it. I think it works best. Now, I realize I may be biased because I grew up with that flavor and am used to it BUT, here's the big news......

Snickers Fudge is fabulous!!!

(Isn't that beautiful?) Now this is a lot different than the regular Snickers. No caramel - instead fudge. And the nougat is peanut butter flavored. You've got to try this - it's really different and really good. It's also a limited edition so I don't know how long it will be around.

So what can we learn from Snickers?

Just because something is new or different doesn't mean it's better. But sometimes new and different IS better! So you have to keep an open mind and try new things AND AT THE SAME TIME, don't throw out something that has worked in the past just because it's been around for a while.

I think most of us tend to one of the two extremes. We think the newest is always the best or we only hang on to the tried and true. The challenge is to recognize your tendency and adjust for it. Again we're reminded how important it is to keep an open mind (and how hard it is to do!).

Did you ever think you'd learn a life lesson from Snickers?

Embrace change - try the Snickers Fudge!
