So, give it a try with some of your caramel-inclined friends, or wait until the fun size version comes out, because that would be the perfect portion of the Milky Way Simply Caramel Bar. I’m not terribly fond of nougat, but its inclusion in the original Milky Way makes the candy bar lighter, and lets the caramel come through without you feeling like you just sucked your way through an entire bag of those caramel cubes. But if someone had a gun to my head and demanded that I eat the entire bar, which, by the way, happens so often it’s getting ridiculous, I’d go for the original Milky Way. If I had to choose between Simply Caramel and the regular Milky Way bar, I’d choose about one fourth of the Simply Caramel. But you’d better have a friend (or cat) that’s got a serious hankering for some caramel too, because Simply Caramel ain’t playing around. Caramel and chocolate always go great together. Milky Way Simply Caramel Bar is a tasty choice if you’re in the mood for a candy bar. My jaw and tongue were exercised to their limits on the one half that I ate, and I felt like I was going into sugar shock. The caramel is very thick, and sweet, and each bite takes about three minutes to fully melt in your mouth. The combination of chocolate and caramel is obviously tasty, but it is so rich. Perhaps I should thank him for taking half, though, because there’s no way I could finish this whole candy bar on my own. I’m glad he barfed instead of choking, but I do want to choke him a little bit for almost ruining my review. So I guess he is one of those guys mentioned in the paragraph above. I marveled at how a cat could eat that much candy bar that fast, but the intrigue evaporated approximately 30 seconds later, when he barfed up a giant, half-chewed piece of caramel and chocolate. A few minutes after that picture was taken, the plate was on the floor, the top half was nowhere to be found, and my cat was licking his lips compulsively. Silly me, thinking a cat would take no interest in a chocolate and caramel bar. I also probably shouldn’t have left the candy bar in my special picture-taking place while I went to check out the photos and start the review on the computer. You can’t just muscle through this candy bar, unless swallowing a big hunk of caramel whole is your thing, in which case, that’s just weird and I hope you choke on it. It’s very akin to eating one of those Brach’s Milk Maid Caramel Cubes, except you get the chocolate in there, too. You have to sort of roll it around in your mouth, letting the caramel and chocolate melt and slide down your throat. The caramel is super thick chewing it will get you nothing more than a bunch of teeth coated in caramel. I probably should have tried to pull the bar apart instead of cutting it, to better represent the gooeyness of the caramel, but I used a knife, so deal with it. So basically, all they’ve done is removed the nougat, leaving caramel to stand on its own. For any of you out there who grew up with parents who refused to allow you any sugar, never went trick-or-treating, and grew up to be the same kind of hippy douchebags as your parents, a regular Milky Way bar is a thick layer of nougat topped by a thinner layer of caramel, all coated with milk chocolate. Milky Way Simply Caramel is described on the wrapper as “Real milk chocolate surrounding nothing but rich delicious caramel”. So, with little information to go off of beyond the wrapper and my own taste buds, I decided to combine the two into one review, since apart, they would probably be pretty short reviews. The point is that these guys are kind of related, and while Coconut M&M’s got a whole website for me to make fun of, both Milky Way and 3 Musketeers don’t even mention their new products on their website. I guess I got one free for buying all of them at once. I bought all three at the same time, and apparently there was some sort of promotional coupon for doing so, but the cashier at my local convenience store and I had some language barrier problems, so when I looked at the receipt when I got home, there were all kinds of mysterious discounts. The Coconut M&M’s were a re-release, but the latter two are brand new offerings. I should have mentioned this in my last post, but the Coconut M&M’s, Milky Way Simply Caramel Bar and 3 Musketeers Truffle Crisp Bar were all released this month from Mars.
