Ice cream Snickers bars are outta this world. What is it with Snickers? All the non-standard Snickers stuff (ice cream bars, Easter eggs, etc.) has wonderfully viscous caramel - like a Carmelo Bar. Normal Snickers bars have caramel that seems stale and shitty by comparison. Very dry.

I'll still take an actual frozen mini/bite-size snickers over snickers ice cream any day.

I never really understood frozen candy bars, especially snickers. They're rock hard and impossible to chew.

The temperature enhances some elements of the flavor while dulling others - I personally find something that's overly sweet that I normally can't stomach because it's too cloyingly sweet is much more tolerable when frozen. Now that said however, I don't eat it straight out of the freezer, I let it sit out for 10-15 min first to soften a little bit. (Maybe 5 min for stuff like Snickers and Reese's Cups that have a thin chocolate shell - but like Hershey's Miniatures are at least 15 min)

Yeah man, let them sit out for a bit and soften. You don't have to rip one open right out of the freezer! Khane needs to learn to exercise some self control when it comes to food.

Billings, MT just got the first Popeye's in Montana and is about to get the first Chipotle. I didn't know until today but they are owned by a former MT congressman so all the people who voted the other way are shitting on them on Facebook. I don't give a fuck I just want some spicy fried chicken.
People are waiting an hour and a half in line at Popeye's for fast food chicken. True story.

Why not just put em in the fridge instead of the freezer if you need to thaw before eating?

Unless your fridge is faulty, it won't hit the right degree of cold. Fridge is better than room temperature though. But Frozen and par-thawed (not fully thawed) is best.

Remember the only stuff that hardens to the point of discomfort is the chocolate (and sometimes caramel gets a little too tacky) - any type of filling, nougat, peanut butter, cherry cordial center stuff, etc all stays relatively soft even frozen.

You misspelled foodie (with no lower threshold)

Sidenote/New Discussion: New chain I just tried recently since the move last night was Beef O'Brady's a sports bar chain that I wasn't familiar with in Maryland - they really blew me away with the quality of their food, amazing stuff for a sports bar.

Hah, yeah I love the marketing on various bars of that size that show you how to twist the wrapper to save it for later. Motherfucker, I bought the large size because I'm gonna eat the whole thing at once, otherwise I'd have bought the smaller one.

Speaking of, those new Butterfinger Cups or whatever they are called are really good. They don't stick to my teeth like a normal Butterfinger does either.

Twix is a god-tier candy bar. Doesn't get better than that. A couple may be as good, but none outright better.

I'm partial to Milky Way as my favorite candy bar. Though I don't eat a whole lot of candy bars.

There's a Beef O'Brady's near my grandparents' place in Florida. The wings are definitely respectable.
