Review: Keebler - Fudge Shoppe Jumbo Peanut Butter Sticks

Keebler's Fudge Shoppe Peanut Butter Sticks now come in a new Jumbo size. Each fudge-covered wafer stick with peanut butter filling is individually wrapped and can be bought in a box of six for a retail price of around $3.49 with a sales price ranging around the $2 mark.

The elves at Keebler didn't work too hard in their tree for this one. It most reminds me of a Kit Kat Big Kat; it's just a larger version of the original. But since they are individually wrapped, it's easy to pack them as a snack.
What sets a Jumbo Peanut Butter Stick from a Big Kat, besides the peanut butter filling, is the wafer. The Jumbo Peanut Butter Sticks makes use of a lighter, less dense wafer that isn't as crisp and gives it a different mouth feel than a Kit Kat.

There's also more wafer and less chocolate than a Kit Kat which makes sense since one is a cookie and the other is a candy.
It tastes fairly good but a little bit generic in ingredient quality. Still, it's fairly light chocolaty, peanut butter snack. I would have preferred just a tad less sugar (the main ingredient) and a little more salt to better bring out the peanut butter. I'd like a peanut butter Kit Kat better though, if Nestle ever ends up making those.
