Milky Way Simply Caramel



when i saw this bar reviewed on Candy Blog i immediately began searching for it everywhere i went. luckily it didn't take long to find (maybe three days? i didn't say i was searching frantically, just searching). i was excited to see what kind of caramel we're talking about here, would it be like a Caramello, or closer to a caramel bite? i got my answer:

it's actually kind of a cross between the two. the caramel is richer and smoother than a plain old caramel bite, but it's not the gooey, oozing caramel that's inside the Caramello. it has a buttery flavor, not too intense but not muted or bland, and not too sugary-sweet. at first glance it seems a bit intense with so much caramel, but the ratio of chocolate to caramel is pretty good and i don't really miss the nougat at all. i usually prefer a denser nougat than Milky Way has anyways. in general i've preferred the special Milky Way varieties to the original, and the Simply Caramel bar is no exception (although i still like the Midnight better).
