Limited edition chocolate candy bars are fun. They're often recombinations of chocolate, nut, caramel, nougat and other common ingredients. You would think candy manufacturers would run out of ideas for these bars, but it is a tribute to their creative staff that new variations keep emerging.

The Thingamajig bar blended what tasted like chocolate breakfast cereal and peanut butter; and while it did contain a few things I'd have rather done without (hydrogenated oils, maltodextrin, barley malt), it wasn't a bad mix.
