Advantages: gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous

Disadvantages: high fat/calorie content, a bit steep in price, not for peanut allery sufferers

I apologise to all of you reading this thinking it is an opinion on the original snickers bars. Its not!! Its a review in my humble opinion of something far more delcious than the original. What am I talkig about, I hear you ask, well as my title gives it away its the new Snickers Flapjack.

Oh I can hear you Snickers fans (or marathon fans if youre over 30), right now, "no way, nothing can improve on the original. Well I am here to tell you different.

Snickers Flapjacks are relatively new on the market, and I just happened a few weeks back, whilst buying my daily paper, to notice a stack on the confectionary counter and thought in the interest of research (yeah right) I would give one a whirl.

At 59p for a 65g bar I thought it was a bit steep in price, but as I say this is all in the name of research, so to heck with the cost I thought and handed over the cash.

As the name suggests, the product is predominantly a flapjack i.e. an oaty type feast that takes a lifetime to chew through, which is what I thought when first opening the packaging.

The base is a mixture of peanuts (14%) (so no good if you suffer peanut allergies), condensed milk, golden syrup and a multitute of other gooey stuuf which I wont bore you with and binding agents (to stop it from crumbling one presumes).

Layered on top of all this is a generous amount of caramel (11%), and a lovely thick layer of milk chocolate.

Now anyone on a diet I would not recommend this to as my eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the calories and fat content, but I pacified myself and calmed down a bit, when I justified that I was "eating for two" (hehe).

In each bar there are, wait for it, a whopping 369 calories, and the fat content a massive 22g. So anyone on the weightwatchers plan, you'd probably need to save up a whole days points to scoff one, but I tell you, they are worth it.

The first one I bought I
resolved to just eat half and save the other for my husband, but before I realised it I'd eaten the whole bar (its my hormones I tell you). They are definitely moreish.

The chocolate is just the right thickness and there are just enough peanuts to know that this is made by the same people as snickers (another dead giveaway is the name duh), but if blindfolded you would know what I mean.

The bar comes in a copperish coloured metallicy type wrapping with the words (wait for it) snickers flapjack emblazoned across the front, and a few gratuitous peanuts floating about under the name.

On the back it says that this product is baked by Mcvities Cake Company (oooh I can feel a jaffa cake review coming on). So a collaboration between masterfoods (who own snickers) and Mcvities (who make flapjacks as well as many other delicious products but I digress).

Overall the product is definitely one of my favourite "treats" at the moment, but maybe when baby is here I will spit in the eye of mcvities/masterfoods for causing all the excess weight Ill no doubt be carrying around.

Go on, I dare you to try one and not want another.

thanks for reading.
