Nestle Baby Ruth

The Baby Ruth is an American classic containing fakeolate, peanuts, milky caramel and nougat. The packaging claims 4g of protein per serving. I must admit the fakeolate has a nice cocoa smell to it and tastes good surrounding the yummy interior. The mixture of caramel and chewy nougats is heavenly and then you add peanuts. Very chewy fresh bar. Still tastes like the Baby Ruth of old!

Grade: A-
Calories: 280/bar. Yikes!

Nestle Butterfinger

The Butterfinger is an all American classic first made by Curtiss in 1923. Very similar to the Fifth Avenue I ate in February. The Butterfinger has a very strong peanut butter and butter aroma with the chocolate playing second fiddle. The texture is crunchy and crisp. Strong peanut butter flavor with hints of molasses.

Grade: B+. Don't lay a hand on my Butterfinger! Calories 270 per bar.

Wonka Runts

We take a break from my regularly scheduled chocolate to eat some Runts which were given to me. No aroma with a waxy outer layer. The flavors were sour green apple and sour grape. Nice combination of sweet and sour flavored sugar. Pretty good but I still prefer Sweet Tarts.

Grade B. Serving Size 12 pieces/60 calories. 11 servings per container. 660 per box...Wow!

Nestle Aero

It was my fault this time that my chocolate was melted. Two of the bars I have eaten this year have looked like lava flows. You will notice that the bar is a little melted as I left it in the trunk for a tiny bit after shopping at World Market which has an amazing selection of European candy.

The Aero is a real whipped chocolate bar made in the UK. Nice cocoa aroma and good chocolate taste but I am not to crazy about the open air honeycombing. Feels like I am being cheated out of chocolate :) And it still 246 calories per bar.

Grade: C. Good flavor but left me with an empty feeling. Much better than the other honeycombed bar that I ate though which was the Cadbury Crunchie.

Nestle Carlos V

A new candy bar in the USA from Nestle. The Carlos V is a solid small chocolate bar like a mini Hershey's. Nice chocolate aroma and creamy melt in mouth feeling is noted. It has a milky-buttery chocolate taste with a hint of dark bitter chocolate. Residue presence on the surface of the bar.

Grade: D. The taste of butter was overpowering. Definitely does not taste like Mexican chocolate aka Abuelita. One bar has 180 calories.

Wonka Exceptionals Scrumdiddlytumptious Chocolate Bar

The Wonka bar is back. During the last few years the only place to find the Wonka bar was Best Buy and even there I have not seen it in months. The Wonka bar is a real chocolate bar by Nestle. Elegant bar and sheen. The bar contains small pieces of chocolate and toffee. The toffee is buttery and the peanuts flavorful. Nice mix of flavors with the milk chocolate.

Grade: A- (Nice update to the Wonka bar. Too bad no Golden Ticket was inside)
Calories 170 per serving. Three serving per bar.

Nestle Goobers

Day 47.
Goobers are an interestingly named milk chocolate covered peanut product made by Nestle. Found mainly at the movie theater. The chocolate and peanut combination goes well with buttery popcorn. Goobers were created in 1925 by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company which was acquired by Nestlé in 1984.

Nestle Sno-Caps

Day 28.
Sno-Caps are another movie theater candy box. These have been around for many years but something about the name just never appealed to me. Sno-Caps are nonpareils. What you may ask is that? According to Wikipedia, Nonpareils or hundreds and thousands, are a decorative confection of tiny sugar balls, traditionally an opaque white but now available in many colors.

Logo: Semi-Sweet Chocolate Nonpareils.
History: Sno-Caps were introduced in the 1920s by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1984. (W)

Appearance: Small chocolate chips covered with tiny white balls. The box contains quite a few nonpareils separated from the chips.
Aroma: Aroma of dark chocolate
Texture: Soft chocolate with crunchy nonpareils. Eat them quick cause they melt in your hands really quick
Flavor: Tastes like semisweet chocolate chips. Dark chocolate taste but with sweetness.
Calories:180/serving. Two Servings of 1/4 cup.

Rating: C+
Comments: Interesting candy. It tastes like chocolate chips used for baking. I wasn't too crazy about the sugar balls. I might try to make chocolate chip cookies with these...maybe the sugar balls will melt and coat the chips.

Nestle Baby Ruth Crisp

Day 21.
I reviewed the Nestle Crunch Crisp a week ago and wasn't too impressed...gave it a C so I am hoping this Baby Ruth meets KitKat works better.

Logo: Baked wafers, Caramel, Peanuts and Creme.


History: Created in 2007 by Nestle.

Appearance: Two chocolate pieces. The peanuts show through the chocolate. Unlike the Crunch crisp the rows of creme and fudge looked good. No greenish tinge. The caramel and peanuts lie on top.
Aroma: Nice peanut aroma with hints of chocolate and caramel.
Texture: Crunchy crisp wafer. Nice chewiness.
Flavor: Combination of peanuts, caramel and a tiny bit of chocolate. This bar contains no cocoa butter, only cocoa. You can taste the original Baby Ruth inside.
Calories: 250 cal/package. 1.76 oz.


Rating: B
Comments: For some reason its works much better with the Baby Ruth rather than the crunch. I would eat this again.

Nestle Crunch

Day 15.
The Nestle Crunch was one of the most popular candy bars in my neighborhood in the 1970's. I would chomp away on half the bar and then let the chocolate melt in my mouth till only the crisped rice remained and then crunched away before taking another bite.

Unfortunately I currently I do not have a picture of the actual bar. I usually cannot wait to get home before I start eating my chocolate bars. I will add the missing pictures later and try to not eat the my blog subject so quickly.


Logo: Milk chocolate with crisped rice.

History: The Crunch was created in 1938 by Nestle. One of the founders, Henri Nestle, a maker of condensed milk is credited with the invention of milk chocolate by combining the milk with chocolate liquor. (4,5)



Appearance: Nice slightly brown bar scored into 4 sections. Cross section reveals nice brown chocolate with crisped rice mixed in fairly evenly.
Aroma: Nice chocolate aroma with dark undertones.
Texture: Nice snap when bitten. Chocolate is creamy and smooth but doesn't melt as fast as I remember from the past.
Flavor: Very nice chocolate flavor with an hint of dark chocolate. Excellent combination with the crisped rice which when solo had a very mild chocolate taste.
Calories: 380 cal/package. 2.75 oz. Made in Brazil.


Rating: A
Comments: One of my favorite candy bars now and when I was a kid. Excellent milk chocolate bar by Nestle!

100 Grand

Day 9.
One of my favorite candy bars of all time. As a child (actually I still do) I would eat the chocolate shell before devouring the caramel. Delicious combination of crisped rice, caramel and chocolate.

History: Created in 1966 by Nestle as the $100,000 Bar. (4)



Appearance: Nice sheen. Two small bars of appearing smaller than most other candy bars.
Aroma: Sweet chocolate aroma
Texture: Chewy and nice stretched caramel ribbons with crunchy bits of rice! Nice slightly firm chocolate shell.
Flavor: Rich caramel taste complimented by milk chocolate. A very good mixture of ingredients.
Calories: 190 cal/package. 1.5 oz.




Rating: A
Comments: Worth every grand! The two small bars left me wanting more. They should make a 200 Grand!

Nestle Crunch Crisp

Day 5. One of my favorite chocolate bars of days gone past is the Nestle Crunch. After adding the crisp, I figured this would be a Kit Kat/Nestle Crunch mixture. Consisting of baked wafers, crisped rice and chocolate creme this reminded me of the old chocolate creme cookies.

History: Created in 2007.

Appearance: It was in two pieces but the cookie had a slightly green touch to it...very weird!
Aroma: Smells like weak cocoa
Texture: Crunchy crisp wafer. The chocolate melts in your hands.
Flavor: Not very chocolatey with artificial tasting creme.
Calories: 190 cal/package. 1.34 oz.

Rating: C
Comments: Weird looking wrapper and not very chocolaty. Good idea but I would have added more milk chocolate and more crisped rice.

Bit-O-Honey

Day 2.
History: The Bit-O-Honey was invented in 1924 by the Shutter-Johnson company and has been owned by Nestle since 1984. (4,5)

Its hard to find the bar version nowadays but many places still sell the packaged bite sized pieces. The trick to the Bit-O-Honey is always feel the bar before you buy because when old they can get very hard but fresh ones are delicious and low in fat according to package but oh so high in sugar. Yumm!



Appearance: Light tan color. Bar is divided into segments and has small imperfections.
Aroma: Light honey and almond aroma.
Texture: Super chewy and smooth especially once you get going chewing on it.
Flavor: Nice mixture of honey with a little almond.
Calories: cal/package. 1.7oz

Rating: B
Comments: Great tasting.
