What's actually different here
The original Snickers is already half peanut butter in spirit, so you'd be forgiven for wondering what the point is. The difference is texture, mostly. Where the classic has those chunky roasted peanuts giving you something to chew through, this version swaps them for a smoother, creamier filling. Less bite, more spread-on-toast energy.
Personally, I tried one during a long train journey when I needed something proper filling. It goes down easier than the original, no bits lodged anywhere, and the chocolate-to-filling ratio feels more balanced. My reservation: it loses a bit of that textural contrast that makes the original satisfying. If you like the crunch, you might miss it.
Who this is actually for
Kids who pick around the peanut chunks will likely prefer this. Anyone with a preference for smooth over crunchy peanut butter, same. It's also a reasonable shout for people who find the original a bit intense to eat quickly.
Not for purists. If you've been eating Snickers since 1994 and like them exactly as they are, this will feel a bit soft. Literally.
The price point makes it easy
Four bars for around a quid is hard to argue with. At that price you're not really committing to anything, just seeing if you like it. The Subscribe and Save option brings it down a touch further, which makes sense if you're already running a grocery subscription. Not the bargain of the century, but solid value for a snack you'll probably enjoy.
