Snack Review: Chex Mix Turtle Bar

I have to admit. I have a slight obsession with Chex Mix. I’ve tasted pretty much every product they’ve made, and continually stock my cupboards with Chex Mix brands. So when Chex Mix came out with these new snacks in bar form, I was actually excited.

I couldn’t wait to get my paws on this product because not only did it have Chex Mix, it had lots of other delicious-looking items mixed in as well. I was actually suspecting there would be a party in my mouth. But sometimes having high hopes is just a guarantee for a big let-down.

The Chex Mix Turtle bar has caramel-covered Corn Chex pieces, Wheat Chex pieces, chocolate, peanuts and pretzels. When I first pulled the bar out of the package, I noticed how sticky it was. This was due to the bottom layer of caramel that is on the bottom of this bar.

Now, I love my snacks, probably more than the next guy, but I don’t like snacks that leave residue on my fingers, which is just what this bar did. I like my snacks to be clean, not messy. Why? Because if it’s messy, I tend to shove the whole thing in my mouth before it gets all over me, thus ruining the perfect snacking experience.
