I don't know about you guys, but springtime makes me feel kinda wild. I think it has to do with the warm weather; I just want to run around and climb mountains or something. Anyway, since I'm feeling so adventurous lately, I figure that this is a great time to review my newest find- the Snickers Adventure Bar.
The Adventure bar is actually a tie-in with the new Indiana Jones movie, and there's a picture of Indy on the wrapper. My hubby said it looks like a pic from the original movies, but I think it's a little hard to tell. The bar itself seems to be a little shorter than a normal Snickers, but I didn't have one to compare with it so I'm just relying on memory.
The wrapper states that the bar has a “cliffhanger kick of exotic spice and a hint of sweet coconut.” Personally, I couldn't taste anything even remotely like a spice. I was a little relieved about that; to me, spices and Snickers bars don't really seem like they would mix. The coconut flavor was noticeable (no coconut flakes though), but it's subtle enough to work well in the bar.
Overall, this Snickers tastes just like a normal one... only with a slight hint of coconut. Since I love coconut, I actually sort of prefer it to the original. I guess I'll have to stockpile some; I'm sure the Snickers Adventure will disappear once the Indiana Jones movie has come and gone.
There are a few more tie-ins to the movie, including a Mint Crisp version of M&M's that I'm planning on reviewing next week. On a completely unrelated note, I also got my big box of goodies from CyberCandy... I'll be reviewing that stuff soon as well!

Now I am -REALLY- cursing the fact that I found out that some of what was causing me major headaches (literally) last fall was a peanut intolerance! I love Snickers bars and I love coconut and this sounds like a grand combination! Ah well!
I found a link to something that made me think of your blog and your news blurb from 21 April -really- told me I -had- to share it. A friend of mine showed a link to this review of a new Lollipop company that has made a Maple-Bacon lollipop.
The company is called Lollyphile and they only sell t2 flavors right now, the maple-bacon and absinthe. They are pricey, but definitely different. :)
wow... great find! although i'm still not sure about all this bacon-candy business, i think i'd prefer bacon and maple syrup to bacon and chocolate.
i may just have to try these lollipops out!
I like the style of your blog, and it has definitely left me incredibly hungry (I hope that was your intention). I'm going to have to check back here before trying any new snack food, but I have to say I'm sold on the snickers adventure bar.
