Below are the winners of the Snickers Charged! If I don’t hear from a winner within the next 24 hours or they live outside the U.S. I will re-draw tomorrow and update here.

I used a random number generator for the drawing so without further ado:

Melissa Resnick, who wrote: “breakfast of champs”

Janet F, who wrote: “I would love to try this!!”

Shilo Beedy, who wrote: “I never knew Snickers had that style of candy bar, I would love to try it.”

Vanessa Hunter, who wrote: “Ummmmmm…….I want candy!!!!!”

Tamara Leonard Merritt, who wrote: “Snickers is THE BEST candy bar. I would love it to give me a charge too ”

The winners have all been emailed so if you see your name above but haven’t heard from me, feel free to drop me a note to double check that it’s you (if you didn’t receive the aforementioned email).

Again, if winners do not respond within 24 hours a new name(s) will be drawn.

Thank you everyone who entered and please keep an eye out over the next several weeks for my next contest!

As usual I have a bunch of Snickers Charged ready to be sent off to five lucky winners! If you remember, I really liked this candy bar and while I am loathe to part with them I’m hoping you’ll like them as much as I do!

This contest will run through Monday May 19, with a winner picked May 20th. Five winners will be drawn randomly from all entrants and will receive one Snickers each. One entry per person please! Duplicate/multiple entries from one person will all be discarded. And yes, I can tell!

All you need to do is leave a comment here. That’s it! Make sure you leave a valid email address in the email line of the comment form (it will not be displayed, and make sure you don’t leave it in the comment itself) so I can get ahold of you if you win. Like past giveaways, this is only open to those in the U.S.

Good luck!

I’ve been looking for these everywhere and finally found a box last week!

Snickers Charged is a limited edition 1.83oz bar that includes 60 milligrams of caffeine as well as taurine and B-vitamins in addition to the milk chocolate, peanuts, caramel and nougat of a regular bar.

The packaging, which I assume is supposed to portray power and energy, is silver with a charging rhino. My first impression was that it was leaning a little too much toward a power bar look, something I’m not interested in, so it didn’t appeal to me much at all. If it weren’t for the mention of caffeine on the box and wrapper I probably would have bypassed them altogether!

Anyway, I really enjoyed the bar itself! I’ve been disappointed with past limited edition chocolate and candy bars, but I liked the Snickers Charged. While I’ve never been a huge Snickers fan – if given a choice at the checkout or candy aisle I’ll usually go for some Reese’s – and it’s been a while since I’ve had a regular Snickers, it tasted pretty much what I remember Snickers tasting like in general – a, well, satisfying mix of smooth chocolate, peanuts, nougat and caramel.

I didn’t find it to have a metallic taste or bitter aftertaste and while caffeine doesn’t affect me to the point that I walk around wired I did notice a bit of a pick-me-up not longer after I was finished. In all, I really liked the Snickers Charged and think I might pick up another box next time I’m out before Mars yanks them from the shelves!
