Call the Nestle Crunch hotline at 1-800-295-0051. Sit through the welcoming little spiel and the English/Spanish option, and then wait about ten seconds. You’ll get a whole new set of menu options. Press 4, and then 7. After listing to option 7, back out (by pressing 9) and check the rest of the options as well (I thought 7 was the funniest).

Which was your favorite?

Another trip to Sam’s, another box of candy bars! This time I found the Nestle Crunch Crisp, and much like the Snickers Charged I liked it well enough.

I’m not a fan of Nestle chocolate much anymore. Like Hershey I think the quality has gone downhill over the years though there are still the occasional treats from both that I’ll pick up when I get a craving. A Nestle Crunch is one of those, though I prefer the mini bars because a regular sized with the sub-standard “chocolate” is too much.

Anyway, the packaging for this one features an ad for American Idol, and considering the time frame I picked these up American Idol was still in its recent run, so at least they’re not expired! The bars are 1.74 oz and the wrapper has the familiar blue of a regular Crunch bar with a URL to forthekidinyou.com.

The bar is two crispy vanilla wafers with chocolate creme sandwiched between them. The outer covering of chocolate also contains the crisped rice bits of a regular bar.

The chocolate creme actually made the bar for me, though, I think. It had a strong chocolate-like flavor (and I say flavor because chocolate isn’t listed on the ingredients list, if you can believe it), that balanced out the bland chocolate of the outer coating (which ended up all over my fingers even at a room temp of 70 degrees).

Overall, I liked it and the kids liked it. I still can’t finish a full bar because of the over-punch of sweetness, but there’s no fear of it going to waste around here!

I also tried a Nestle Crunch Stixx while I was at it. The center of this one was solid chocolate and the coating was chocolate with little Crunch bits. However, with both products the outer coating melted extremely quickly, and that was just while holding it to take a bite so I think I’ll pop the rest in the fridge and see how they hold up that way (hopefully they don’t get too hard).

Yum on both products! I got mine on sale for about $1.60 per box, regularly around $2 a box.
