3 Musketeers Mint

I have never been a huge fan of 3 Musketeers, but I recently saw a commercial for the 3 Musketeers Mint with dark chocolate and got myself a bar. From looking at the wrapper, apparently the Mars Company wants to emphasize that this bar is “45% less fat” than your average chocolate bar since it is printed not once, but twice. Don’t be fooled, chocolate is still chocolate and this 3 Musketeers Mint bar still has 150 calories.

Inside the wrapper, I was surprised to find two bars instead of one. I don’t know the purpose of why they chose to break the bar into two halves, but it is great for portion control if you decide to eat one now and the other later. Or, if you’re sharing with someone, you can each get an equal share of the bar. Biting into the 3 Musketeers Mint, the first thing I noticed was how this bar stayed true to the 3 Musketeers brand and kept its fluffiness. For this mint bar in particular, the fluffiness adds to the bar’s deliciousness as it keeps the mint flavor from overpowering the chocolate. So you are left with a dark chocolate bar with this light fluffy mint flavor.

Overall, this is a great mint chocolate bar. I think the mint fluffiness is perfect as the mint is not too strong, but still present enough to give the minty cool sensation that I love. I bought the bar for 54 cents at my local grocery store, but I did notice that this bar is a lot thinner than your average bar of chocolate. So does that mean it is “45% less fat” because it is a smaller bar? Regardless, I hope this 3 Musketeers Mint with dark chocolate bar is here to stay, for I will definitely be buying more.
