Snickers Pumpkin Halloween Candy

Oh look, two updates in the same month! Amazing!

This one was also on the backburner for quite a bit of time, being halloween candy and all. I picked this up for about RM 4.99 at Cold Storage during Halloween season last year (and that's when I ate it too, this isn't a few month old candy bar!)

In terms of size it's a little bit smaller than your average Snickers bar but it's thicker. It looked pretty promising because well, I'm more a fan of chocolate than I am of sweet candies and gummies so I decided to just gloss over those last year. That and I have to watch my health a little more so I get to be picky ;)

I was surprised by the level of detail on the chocolate. I'm quite used to seeing candies that look nothing like what's advertised on the wrapper; especially seasonal ones seem to suffer from that the most. Taste wise, its your regular old Snickers bar minus the wrinkles and the nuts. The chocolate tasted a little creamier than usual but it could just be my imagination.

Spire sez: If you like Snickers, you're getting the exact same thing here but in a slightly different package. It's also a fair bit more expensive but you're paying Halloween Candy prices so it's somewhat justified. I quite liked the fact that they didn't incorporate nuts in this iteration, and that the fillings were caramelly smooth. I hope they bring it back this year.

KitKat Dark Chocolate

Spire here with a short but very sweet bit of sugar to share!

Now, a KitKat is an absolutely normal thing to come across in your average grocery store. Well, with the exception of those weird flavoured KitKats Japan is constantly churning out (really, Sakura flavour? if I wanted flowers I'd go and eat them myself)

So to my surprise I came across these dark chocolate KitKats in Jaya Grocer. They're not cheap at all, pricing close to RM8 a bar, and they melt really easy.

I had to refrigerate mine as soon as I got home, else it would have gone out of shape. At any rate, the packaging is quite tough (none of that weird paper stuff going on here) so  you CAN feel the quality that you are paying for. Here's the back, if you'd like to see the minute details. It ONLY has 10.3g of sugar in it :D

Sorry, but we can't provide a picture of the bar inside it. It didn't last long enough for a picture!

Taste wise, it was a very rich, deliciously dark chocolatey KitKat. It wasn't so sweet, and it wasn't all that bitter either, but rather that delectable middle ground between them. It tasted great cold as well as warm (though a teensy bit messier) I'd strongly recommend it if you have a bit of extra cash you want to splurge on some tasty dark chocolate, but not enough to go and grab a premium chocolate bar. 

There's a slightly cheaper 70% dark chocolate version as well, but it didn't survive the journey home. Oh well *sniff*
