Whatchamacallit Cereal Bars ~ Knock-Off

Dudes.  We’re in trouble.  These babies are addicting.  My kids came home from cooking class with plates full of these (last week it was the Mozzarella Sticks.)  After taking just one bite, we headed straight to the neighbors to give away an entire plate.  The last thing I needed was to scarf 3 plates of Whatchamacallit Cereal Bars, 2 was enough.  So, I think most of us have tried peanut butter bars, as well as caramel bars… Whatchamacallit combines the two, and you have to try them!

I have a special place in my heart for the actual Whatchamacallit candy bars.  When I was little, my family went to Hershey World.  While touring the factory, an employee pulled me and a few siblings aside and asked if we would be part of a special experiment.  It reminded me of that creepy dude on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who whispered in the kid’s ears, except not creepy at all.  We were brought to a private room and were given several forms of Whatchamacallit bars and were asked our opinion on the taste of each one.  Fun, huh?!?  So, I like to tell myself that the heavenly goodness the people of the world experience, when they bite into a Hershey’s Whatchamacallit Bar, is due, in part, to my valuable 10 year old opinion.  You are totally welcome.

Alrighty, so granted, one is a candy bar and the other is a cereal bar, so don’t yell at me that they’re not exact.  But, the taste is pretty darn close, if you ask me.  Hope you like them!
