![]() ![]() Kind of unnecessary in my book (especially since it seems that folks accepted the uncolored insides to the new Mint bar). The pink color of the insides is a little shocking and I’m guessing where the artificial colors listed in the ingredients are used. The chocolate is passable enough as an enclosure and adds the cocoa flavor to bring it together (I can certainly see me hating it if it were covered in white chocolate). But the soft, fluffy and rather foamy nougat pulls it off. It absolutely reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream! The strawberry is sweet and has a light caramelized sugar touch to it, a little floral-y and certainly on the fake side. It doesn’t quite have vanilla oozing from its pores as a flavor (more like the absence of any other flavors distinguishes this one), it’s still pleasant.Īgainst my better judgment, I love the Strawberry. Where a regular one has a rather malty and dark salt flavor to it, this is light. While I’ve never quite understood what French Vanilla is (and it’s often used as a description for candles and ice cream), I appreciate that this 3 Musketeers is a little lighter tasting. Take them out of the wrapper and put it on an elegant plate and it might even pass for one at a glance. The little mini bars are tiny, about the size of a normal boxed chocolate. It features not vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, but a slight twist with Strawberry, French Vanilla and Mocha Cappuccino. Here’s an old commercial I found from the days of black and white television animation:Īll for fun, and fun for all! Alexander Dumas would be proud. Perhaps it’s seasonal, there are golden leaves on it, after all. It doesn’t say limited edition or anything. Imagine my surprise as I ducked in the Rite Aid on Friday to pick up some things for my vacation (yes, I’m on vacation right now as I type this) that not only did the store have much of their Halloween candy on display, they also had this Autumn Minis Mix. The old 3 Musketeers would have been the Neapolitan nougat of candy bars. What struck me as so wonderful about the concept was that it was much like the long-gone 7up Bar and the still here Sky Bar - a combination of segmented flavors. I’ve been searching high and low for images of it, but alas there are none to be found via my diligent use of google. I was thinking back when I wrote the review of the new 3 Musketeers Mint about the original 3 Musketeers.
