Next month Mars is introducing a new Snickers variant, the Snickers Crisper. The new bar boasts multiple textures and “delivers on [Snickers] satisfaction pledge with the chew of caramel and the crunchy crispiness of rice and peanuts.”
Like the recent Snickers Peanut Butter Squared that came out five years ago, these are actually two squares in one package instead of a single bar.
The new bar is supposed to be in response to consumers wanting healthier options. I’m not sure what would make this bar healthier than a regular Snickers, though this one has crisped rice in it, instead of nougat and is actually 12 grams lighter, which means fewer calories per serving.
Each square is about 1.25 inches on each side. They’re about two or three bites.
The bar smells well roasted and a bit like toffee. The bite is very soft, the caramel on top has a lot of give to it, but not much pull. The chew has a nice texture, with the peanut butter coated crisped rice as a highlight. It’s quite sweet though there’s also a hint of salt. I don’t get much more peanut butter or sort of thick satisfaction that I find in a regular Snickers. I do enjoy the malty notes of the rice though as well as the few peanut scattered about. I think I just wanted more peanut butter and less sweetness.
About ten years ago there was another bar called the Snickers Cruncher, which was similar: it was a peanut butter coated crisped rice bar with caramel coated in chocolate. It was all one bar and actually really good. When they disappeared in the United States, I was still able to find them in Europe (and a few sellers on eBay would import them).

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.This looks and sounds a lot like a Whatchamcalit… what do you think?
Oh, how I sorely miss Snickers Cruncher. Maybe this will be a decent substitute.
‘healthier’ because you can save the second square for later. It’s much harder to stop at have a candy bar if it is a single slab.
This candy is so good… 1 to 10 scale 9.1 yummmy!!!!
This candy bar is the perfect bite and I give it a 9.7/10 Candy Bar Perfection Score!! I am a customer for the life of this perfect candy bar!
In which stores can I find Snickers Crispers?
It tastes just like a Whatchamacalit
