3 Musketeers MintBack in the day, 3 Musketeers was my favourite chocolate bar (sometime between Crispy Crunch and now, when I'd prefer to eat chocolate). When I saw the 3 Musketeers Mint package waving its "New!" flag at me, I took a closer look. When I saw that it had a dark chocolate coating (hilariously, I misread this as "toasting"), I decided to give it a try.

The package claims that there is 35% fat than a regular 3 Musketeers, and I think that might be because there is 35% less chocolate bar. Actually, to my surprise, there were two smaller chocolate bars about the size of two "fun size" bars (I've often wondered who is having fun with that size). The chocolate certainly appeared dark. We were off to a good start. 

First bite: Okay, no. The thing that makes a 3 Musketeers is its fluffy filing. The mint filing had a consistency closer to something that contains coconut (thicker, less fluffy), which is never okay to me. It's bright white colour did nothing to discourage that feeling. Also, the mint was inexplicably mild. I signed up for mint. Why wouldn't I want to taste it?

Second bar: I left it sit a while, then returned to it. By that point I discovered that the mint had a long-lasting, though not unpleasant, aftertaste. It's a bit like you brushed your teeth then had a wee bit of dark chocolate. 

Overall, I do feel like they could have been more upfront two bite size bars business. The consistency of the filing is a little off. Not a bad bar, really.
