....I guess that's not really a "flavor" since so many actual flavors go into making it, but let's not get technical....
Honestly though, I have a weakness for it. We buy the big jars of peanut butter from Costco and I can go through one in just a couple weeks. I put it on everything - bread, crackers, waffles, just straight up on a spoon. I dream about it and keep jars on the very top shelf in hopes that it will keep me away. It doesn't. I just climb onto the counter, like a child, so I can reach the crunchy and creamy goodness. This is why peanut butter jars were not allowed in my previously single life, but that's neither here nor there. I am obsessed.
One of my other favorite flavors, chocolate.
We've talked about this and the amazing-ness that is the chocolate and peanut butter combined to make the perfect little peanut butter cup. Seriously I should own stock in JIF and Hershey's {and Anthropologie} because I could eat nothing else and live a perfectly satisfied life.
UNTIL NOW
The brilliant food makers at Mars have released their own peanut buttery goodness {aside from the already amazing peanut butter M&M} that I has taken my mind by storm....The Peanut Butter Snickers.
It's like eating crunchy peanut butter covered in chocolate, caramel and yummy nougat!
I found myself in Walmart the other day perusing the Christmas clearance. As I walked to the checkout a bright yellow Snickers display caught my attention. "PEANUT BUTTER Snickers?!?", I said to myself. I immediately grabbed 4 bars and headed on my way. In effort to not eat all 4 bars, I had a little yummy melt in your mouth taste and in true Amber style, hid the rest. {Which drives my sweet husband crazy, btw... "Why do you hide it? YOU know where it is!", he says. Ha - I can't help it.} Luckily, my hiding trick worked and I quickly forgot about my new treasure. The next day, Ben and I took a trip to Walmart together for a few items. As we passed the yellow display Ben looked right at me, "AMBER, DID YOU SEE THAT??", he said. "Ummm... I may or may not have a stash at home....", I replied. "HA, of course you do!" But just to be sure I had enough to share, I grabbed a couple more. THEN last night while we were at Costco there was a HUGE bag with 52 squares in it. 52!! I refrained... I didn't buy it, although in a slight panic that I may never be able to find it again, I REALLY wanted to. Plus - Costco, with their super-sized amounts pretty much make everything that much more appealing! This peanut buttery goodness really is fabulous. I know I am borderline crazy.... but you have to try it!

Ah, thank you Snickers.

i seriously laughed at loud at multiple points of this post. I totally loves those two "flavors" together too-- thanks for the heads up, I'm getting my shoes on to head to the store as we speak ;)
I am SO with you on the chocolate and peanut butter train! The best ever! Now I need to try this new treat you have found!!!
Thanks for sharing. I'm on the peanut butter/chocolate kick right now also. I will have to go find me some.
Those sound REALLY good right now. It's too bad we're cutting back on sugar - I had to finally admit my addiction to it after eating entire plates of Christmas goodies all by myself in one sitting and wanting more.
oh dear. oh dear, oh dear. I'm on my way now. looks ridiculous!!!
Well, on my break at work today I walked to Plaid Pantry and saw this very candybar for 59 cents!! Then I looked below it and saw the regular snicker and left with two of those. No Ben, I didn't eat them both. I hid one at work!!!!!
Oh how I miss living close to walmart. I miss finding things I never knew I needed and suddenly can't live without. To wal-mart!
Have you tried the chocolate Lava Cakes from Dominoes? They are AMAZING!
I haven't seen this new "treasure!" Now I'm forced to look for it! You always show me the latest treat... like those little nerd balls or whatever they were you brought to the hospital... I still dream of them! Though, I never see them.
You do love your PB though... and you were great and not buying it when we were living together. However, my jar seemed to disappear quite quickly! hahaha
