Ok so I've heard Oh Henry before but quite frankly I don't think I've ever had one before. Ok I admit it is possible that one or two may have made their way into the Holly Hobby pillowcase I used as a trick or treat bag every year. But even if I had tasted this confection currently produced by Nestle this is basically a new one for me. I picked up this treat yesterday as I scavenged the aisles in Big Lots. According to the label Oh Henry are 2 peanutty caramel fudge bars in milk chocolate.
With my first bite I was immediately scrounging my brain to figure out what it was that it reminded me of. It didn't take me long to figure out that it reminds me of a Snickers
bar. The chocolate is a nice smooth milk chocolate. The peanuts are on the softer side but add a great flavor and texture to the bar. The caramel is that perfect chewy sticky kind that just pulls a bit as you bite through the candy. Where it differs from a Snickers is that it has a vanilla fudge center instead of nougat. Though to be honest if you told me it was nougat I would believe you.
I actually really enjoyed this one. I gave my 8 year old son the second bar and asked what he thought. He said it was really good and turned his back to me while devouring it. Though to be fair my son will eat just about any kind of candy. I don't think this will replace a regular Snickers bar for me but I can see myself eating this again in the future.
