While browsing Valu$ at Tampines 1, I spotted the SNICKERS Peanut Brownie Bar on the shelf. That one discovery quickly snowballed into grabbing a handful of different SNICKERS bars I hadnāt tried yet.
Why Valu$ Might Be the Best Place for Cheap Treats
Sometimes the best finds happen when you’re not even looking. As I walked past the confectionery aisle, the SNICKERS Peanut Brownie packaging stood out like a beacon. Even better? The pricing. At Valu$, the original costs just $0.65, and the specialty flavours go for only $0.85 cents each. Thatās a steal, especially when you consider that the same bar goes for $2 at NTUC FairPriceāand they donāt even stock the full range of flavours. Compared to other major supermarkets, Valu$ is indeed a hidden gem when it comes to scoring confectionery deals.
I also realised something: prices at Valu$ arenāt uniform. Neighbourhood outlets tend to be a little cheaper than the ones in shopping malls, and the product range varies from store to store. Still, itās worth a look if you enjoy stocking up the pantryāeven if you donāt find these SNICKERS bars, youāll probably leave with something else because the shelves are packed with goodies.
SNICKERS Showdown: The Hits, Misses, and Must-Tries
SNICKERS Original
The SNICKERS Original remains the gold standard. Sweet, nutty, and delightfully chewy, it combines milk chocolate, peanuts, caramel, and nougat into one satisfying bar. My husband demolishes these during his triathlon training sessions. I keep them handy for those moments when blood sugar dips unexpectedly.
SNICKERS Peanut Brownie
The SNICKERS Peanut Brownie delivers exactly what its name promises. This variant transforms the familiar formula with a proper fudgy brownie texture. Much more chocolatey than its predecessor, it offers a richer, chewier experience with genuine brownie depth.
SNICKERS Berry Whip
SNICKERS Berry Whip attempts to marry classic SNICKERS with berry-flavoured nougat. The strawberry flavour comes through subtly, though it tastes somewhat artificial. It’s not terrible, but it won’t replace the original in my shopping basket anytime soon.
SNICKERS Almond
Swapping peanuts for almonds should work brilliantly in theory. Unfortunately, the SNICKERS Almond variant falls flat because the nougat tastes artificial. TheĀ almonds themselvesĀ are fine, but the overall execution misses the mark.
SNICKERS Butterscotch
SNICKERS Butterscotch cranks up the caramel flavour with a rich, toffee-like taste. It’s properly sweet – so much so that finishing an entire bar solo becomes impossible. Perfect for sharing or saving half for later.
Not an Everyday Snack
TheseĀ chocolate barsĀ represent excellent value, especially from discount retailers like Valu$. Whilst I wouldn’t recommend constant consumption for sedentary lifestyles, they make brilliant occasional treats. For people prone to low blood sugar episodes, SNICKERS bars are perfect emergency snacks.
Final Verdict
TheĀ SNICKERS Peanut BrownieĀ emerges as the clear winner amongst the variants I tried. It maintains the essence of what makes SNICKERS special whilst adding genuine innovation. The original remains unbeatable for consistent satisfaction, but the brownie version offers something genuinely different.
Stock up on theseĀ chocolate treats if you spot them at value shops. They’re brilliant for those moments when you need a proper perk-me-up, and the SNICKERS Peanut Brownie variant deserves a permanent spot in any chocolate lover’s repertoire. š
