Nestle's known for the Nestle Crunch bar. This one is a bit of a twist. This huge, light block of a bar has layers of crisped cookie alternating with creamy coffee coated crisp. It's all covered in a light layer of milk chocolate or more likely a waxy chocolate-like product.
It's very sweet, but though the bar is large, it's very light and crunchy. The ingredients list such artery-clogging items like palm and shea oils and hydrogenated soy oil. But I'm doing this for the good of science so I tossed aside my usual embargo on trans fats and wolfed this down.
The scent of coffee as you bring the bar to the mouth is quite evident, but the taste really isn't there. The bar has lots of good textures, the crunch was crunchy without being dangerous like Cap'n Crunch or anything. But the whole thing was just too sweet and oily feeling. It's a satisfying bar in that you don't even feel you need to eat the whole, but it's not one I'd probably buy again.
Rating: 5 out of 10.

That's funny! Not finishing *any* candy is probably the only worry I've never had. It's never even occurred to me not to scarf the whole, damn thing down.
Thats not a bad price for this bar. Its about that much here in Ontario, Canada. I really love Coffee Crisp. They have come out with a lot of new flavors. Orange, latte, mocha, caramel.
Have you ever reviewed( i havent read your whole blog yet) Nut goodies? OMG, I LOVE THEM. Try to get one. They are made by pearson in Mineapolis.
