Got the Munchies?

Name: Munchies
Brand: Nestle
Place Purchased: Cost Plus World Market
Price: $1.29
Size: 1.83 ounces
Calories per ounce: 137
Type: Chocolate/Caramel



I'd never seen these before, but the package seemed happy so I bought it. Unfortunately the import label that was applied to it covered up half of the original label but I took it off and founds that it says "Share me Munchies." Okay.

Munchies are a little ball of biscuit (cookie) surrounded by flowing caramel and covered in chocolate, shaped like a little cube (okay, not totally cubular, a little shorter than wide).

They're completely poppable, about the same size as a Rolo and like a tiny little Twix bar. The ratio of chocolate seems greater than a Twix, so if chocolate is your thing and not the cookie so much, this might be a good alternative candy.

They're cute and very sweet but a little lacking in flavor for me. The biscuit isn't really crunchy, just crumbly and the caramel is sweet but lacks the carmelized sugar hit that I enjoy.

Rating - 5 out of 10

I could imagine it now.... "Mom, I've got the Munchies!"

Boy, suddenly that sweet kid sounds like they've been doing drugs instead of sweets...XD

Sounds tasty, though. I've seen these around, but I can't think of where now...>< Infuriating, it is.

I'd never seen them before and the fact that they're square just really tickled me.
