Snickers Fun Sized Candy Bars

Hello my name is curli5 and I am addicted to Snickers Fun Sized Candy Bars. I am addicted to any type of chocolate first of all but ever since I discovered the Snickers Fun Sized Candy Bars, it has been an uphill battle. You might think I am just trying to be funny, but I'm not. I am at the point where I told my husband to hide them so I can find them. How bad is that. This isn't the first time my husband has had to hide chocolate from me either.

Allergies:

You have to be so careful because this product contains PEANUTS and may contain ALMONDS. If you have an allergy to nuts you must stay clear of this snack. If you are not sure if you have an allergy to nuts than make sure someone is with you just in case you have an allergic reaction for the first time. My son is two and half and I still haven't given him any nuts.

Description:

Now for the good stuff. Snickers are brown and are the fun size ones are about two inches in length. (I am not a math person, but that seems about right). They are thick about an inch deep. When you bite into them they are extremely gooey (is that a word)? I can get about two bites out of one but my husband just puts the whole thing in his mouth. I like to make mine last longer. They are jam packed with nuts. You get the nut flavor each time you chew. The Snickers are making me thirsty! You might want to keep a drink nearby when you eat this. I can't eat more than one without taking a drink.

Convenience:

These are so perfect for a quick little snack. Sometimes after work I need a little pick me up before dinner and two fun size Snickers do the trick for me. They don't fill you up to ruin your appetite however, I would try to limit your intake to just two of them. I should talk, I eat four at a time. Again, a perfect example of why my husband needs to hide them from me. You can throw one in your brown lunch bag after you eat your sandwich. Just a quick sweet taste to help make it through the rest of your day. My boss keeps a whole bunch in her office so we can go in and take one if we need something a little sweet.

I happen to love them with a nice cold can of soda. YUMMY! You really can't go wrong with this delicious snack. I wouldn't give them to young children though. Be very careful when it comes to children and peanut allergies. Even the chocolate part of this snickers is hard to bite into and can ruin your child's teeth. I would suggest fruit for young children over a chocolate and peanut snack. However, I do highly recommend them for adults without peanut allergies.

Price:

I bought an 11.18 ounce bag for $3.49 from my local King Kullen supermarket. You can find these pretty much anywhere that sells candy. I prefer the snack size over a full bar because a full bar is too sweet. I don't know how to stop eating one so it is better if I don't buy a huge bar and just stick to the fun size snickers. They come individually packed so you don't have to worry about that. You can even freeze them if you like. Keep them in a cool climate in your house.

Happy Snickers Snacking!
