Luckily the new folks at Yankee Pop, an online American import store can help you out with all your American goodie desires, set up only recently they offer a whole range of American chocolates, candy and other delights for you to get your teeth into.
The 3 Musketeers Coconut Bar is just one of many products they offer and I couldn't wait to try it out - to me Milky Way has a touch of nostalgia towards it; it was always what my Mum used to buy me after I had my swimming classes when I was a child and whenever I bite into one it always brings these memories flooding back. I was looking forward to seeing not only how the American counter part faired up; but also what they brought to the table in terms of the coconut flavour.
When my bar arrived in the post, I was worried it had snapped in half, but opening it up it was clear that the bar was 2 separate style chunks, coated in a milk chocolate covering and instead of the usual light creamy vanilla centre that is often seen in Milky Way instead it was a chocolate coconut whipped nougat centre.
The flavour clearly states artificial but it wasn't overly so; I mean you can tell it's not fresh but it wasn't a horrific tang and had more of a subtle flavour to it. This definitely isn't like a Bounty, there's no pieces of coconut scattered throughout the bar and the whipped soft texture was a lot better than the drying feel that a Bounty brings.
It is quite sweet; it's obviously not a high range chocolate bar but if you're looking for something sweet and a bit different and you want to try out some American chocolate then sure give it a go.
I probably wouldn't go rushing out to buy one but it's certainly worth a try.
Taste - 5.7/10 - Sweet, light coconut flavour, nothing amazing but still tasty enough.
Texture - 6.5/10 - Light whipped centre.
Appearance - 6.9/10 - The packaging is nice to look at and gives good detailed information in terms of nutritionals etc.
Price - 7.2/10 - This is only £1.09 from the Yankee Pop website; definitely not too expensive to give it a go!
Overall - 6.6/10 - Would probably satisfy that chocolate craving and suitable for the masses.
