I stopped by Geraldine’s - located inside Hotel Van Zandt right off boozy Rainey Street - and had what executive chef Stephen Bonin calls “fun in its appearance… resembling a candy bar, but tastes familiar with a nostalgic twist.” I might love the former I know I’ll be disappointed by the latter. I’d much rather take a risk on something “weird,” like the face of a pig, than eat a Mr. But even I must admit I was intrigued when I heard about the Pig Face Candy Bar at Geraldine’s in Austin, Texas. If I’m going to slowly kill myself with sugar, I’m going to do it with baked goods and ice cream, thank you very much. I’ve literally never seen my father buy a Kit Kat, let alone eat one, and my mother would occasionally put a mini Snickers in the freezer, but that’s about it. Then I started to crash (thankfully not literally).Ĭandy isn’t part of my DNA. So, I bought a Twix - it was a good decision for about 10 minutes. My last actual candy bar was about two years ago, when I needed a pick-me-up during a long drive through an endless stretch of Texas and the nearest kolache place was 55 miles away. It’s one of life’s richest ironies: once you’re old enough to get something whenever you want it - be it fast food, candy, or drugs (all equally harmful) - that’s exactly when you stop wanting it. Opinions in my family differed, but I think the Snickers and 3 Musketeers imitations probably come to closest to their name-brand counterparts, with the Twix imitation being the least like its name-brand counterpart.When was the last time you actively craved a candy bar? Now, I’m not asking when the last time you ate a candy bar was, or how much you hated yourself after, but the day, month, and year when you thought to yourself, “I’m in the mood for a candy bar.” It was probably when you were a kid. None of these taste exactly like the name brands, and my family still prefers the name-brand versions over these, but on their own they are not bad candy bars. The Verdict:Ĭhoceur Legends candy bars are Aldi’s attempt at imitating popular name-brand candy bars: Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, and 3 Musketeers. It may also have peanuts and tree nuts.Ī two-bar serving has 150 calories, 5 grams of total fat (6% DV), 3 grams of saturated fat (15% DV), 23 grams of total carbohydrates (8% DV), and 18 grams of added sugars (36% DV). It’s chocolate-covered nougat, like a 3 Musketeers.Īllergens in this are milk, soy, wheat, and egg. This is Aldi’s take on 3 Musketeers, and it’s probably the closest to it’s name brand counterpart of all of the types of candy bars in this bag. Choceur Legends Nougat & Chocolate Candy Bar It may also have peanuts, tree nuts, and egg.Ī two-bar serving has 140 calories, 7 grams of total fat (9% DV), 4 grams of saturated fat (20% DV), 19 grams of total carbohydrates (7% DV), and 11 grams of added sugars (22% DV). The cookie portion is much softer than Twix, and not as buttery.Īllergens in this include milk, soy, and wheat. It’s not bad on its own, but it’s not as much like Twix as I hoped. I thought this was the weakest of the four types of candy bars in this package. This is the Aldi take on a Twix candy bar. Choceur Legends Cookie & Caramel Candy Bar It may contain peanuts and tree nuts.Ī two-bar serving has 170 calories, 7 grams of total fat (9% DV), 4 grams of saturated fat (20% DV), 25 grams of total carbohydrates (9% DV), and 19 grams of added sugars (38% DV). In terms of allergens, it has milk, soy, wheat, and egg. I don’t think it has the same smooth texture as a real Milky Way, and the caramel is less chewy, but it’s not bad on its own merits. Choceur Legends Nougat and Caramel Candy Bar It may contain tree nuts.Ī two-bar serving has 190 calories, 10 grams of total fat (13% DV), 4 grams of saturated fat (20% DV), 20 grams of total carbohydrates (7% DV), and 14 grams of added sugars (28% DV). If you’re watching out for allergens, this has milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, and egg. Otherwise, it seems to be a decent imitation. It might be a softer candy bar overall compared to Snickers as well. One family member thought the peanuts were smaller and more finely chopped than in a Snickers. This is the Aldi version of a Snickers bar.
