Snickers Almond Dark
I couldn’t find it in the regular bar, but did stumbled across this bag of minis called the Snickers Dark Mix which has miniature versions of Snickers, Snickers Dark and Snickers Almond Dark. Frankly, by putting the milk version in there they should have called it a Dark & Milk Mix. The proportion in the bag, unfortunately, leaned towards the Snickers end of things, but there were enough of Snickers Almond for me to get a good sense of the candy. One of the things I enjoy about the minis, which are much smaller than the snack size, is that you could take them out of their little wrappers and drop them into a fluted candy cup and pretend they’re from a box of chocolates.
Like the Snickers Dark, I would definitely opt for this one over the regular milk chocolate version. While Nestle has been introducing dark versions of their regular bars (Crunch, 100 Grand & Raisinets), their chocolate has a waxy feeling on the tongue and no real chocolate taste. The KitKat Bitter shows that Nestle knows what dark chocolate is supposed to be, they just can’t be bothered with actually delivering it in their bars. Mars, on the other hand, did a good job of putting something that tastes like chocolate on their chocolate bar. Are we going to get a 3 Musketeers with dark chocolate soon? Pretty please!

A Dark 3 Musketeers would be so good! I actually want them to bring back the original 3 Musketeers with the vanilla and strawberry nougat…. mmmmmm!
Wait, so they put peanuts in the almond version as well? That seems odd to me, I would have thought the almonds would be there to replace the peanuts, as opposed to joining together. Still, glad you enjoyed them.
Solidly up my alley. I’m a bit surprised that the peanuts don’t overpower the almonds. Anyone else miss the Mars bar?
I gave up chocolate for lent so I need to come back later and catch up on my candy news.
I can not see the pictures on this page, would you please renew them or what shall i do so that i can see.Thank you.
As far as I know, Mars has never released the Snickers Dark Almond bar as a full size bar. They have brought the Snickers Dark Mix back a couple of times since its original release, and the Dark Almond bar has always been a part of the package.
