Imagine a super dense and more peanutty flavoured Butterfinger bar, that’s kind of what you have here. I would most certainly put this bar between the Butterfinger and the Crispy Crunch bar, with one very problematic flaw. The flaw is the fact that the peanut (or peanut flavour) is a little stale or rancid. It certainly didn’t taste like I was eating a handful of freshly toasted peanuts in brittle. It was more like a mouthful of peanuts that had been sitting in my grandmother’s basement for way too long. I’m not sure why this happened, if it was just a bar that had been sitting in pour temperature conditions for too long or if it was a choice flavour wise, but it really turned me off flavour wise.

It’s a shame because the chocolate was fine and the texture for this kind of bar is kind of unique. I would describe this unique texture as dense, very dense. It’s a bar that has that flaky peanut brittle texture like a Crispy Crunch or Butterfinger, but a lot more challenging to bite through. Your teeth sink immediately through the chocolate until you’re faced with a very challenging first bite of dense peanut brittle. Once you finally get through the dense brittle, it shatters in a very satisfying way.

Maybe this particular bar had a hard life and sat on a shelf in a warm grocery store for way too long. Maybe the Filipino people like the slightly rancid peanut flavour. It wasn’t to my taste flavour wise, but texture wise I had a blast trying to bite through some super dense brittle. If the bar had been any bigger, I think it would have been too much and my jaw would require medical attention. However, as it was, it was a challenging and satisfying couple of crunches.
