line at the grocery store I spot a Snickers bar, a dark chocolate Snickers bar AND an almond Snickers.\u00a0 We used to have a cat named Snickers, but that doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with this post.\u00a0 I decided to get all 3 and conduct a little taste test.\u00a0 Before beginning the tasting I tried to guess which one I would like the best or if they would just be too different to choose a favorite or if my palate was just not one to properly conduct and judge this kind of contest!\u00a0 Then I realized&#8230;they are just Snickers and no one reads your blog ANYWAY!\u00a0 So, the tasting began.\u00a0 I had a glass of water on hand to cleanse my distinguishing palate between bites.\u00a0 I take a bite of original Snickers taking time to savoy the flavors&#8230;very comforting and familiar.\u00a0 Sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy.\u00a0 Dark chocolate Snickers&#8230;different texture (harder chocolate shell) but similar insides.\u00a0 The dark chocolate does make the flavors a little different, less sweet.\u00a0 Here I go back and forth between original and dark a few times.\u00a0 Then on to almond Snickers which has the least fat and calories of the three!\u00a0 Oh, wait, it is also the smallest in net wt.\u00a0 About 0.25 oz less.\u00a0 Tricky.\u00a0 Now I like this almond variation.\u00a0 The nuts have a crunchier texture than the peanut and, lets face it, almonds are way more sophisticated a nut than the peanut&#8230;which is A LEGUME mind you!\u00a0 The verdict is&#8230;Snickers Original!\u00a0 Snickers almond is a close second and dark chocolate comes in third.\u00a0 I hope you use this information the next time you find yourself standing in line at your local grocery store.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px
