Yesterday, I fulfilled a desire I’ve had for many, many years – I bought Skor and Heath candy bars at the same time and did a taste comparison.
I don’t know why it took me so long. Maybe I was afraid of having two candy bars’ worth of calories all at once? That doesn’t seem right. I mean, I’ve eaten a LOT more calories than that in one sitting.
Whatever the case, I finally did the taste test. It was disappointing. They tasted nearly identical to me. Skor had a slightly darker taste, as if the toffee had been cooked a little longer. Other than that, they were very similar in all other aspects – chocolate, texture, sweetness…
I will say that I am glad to have finally done it, but the next time I eat 439 calories all at once, it won’t be two toffee bars.
For science!!
I’m glad you did this for us all, Brad. The next step is to smash the up and put them in ice cream. That’s a taste test I’ll help with. 😀
