Snappers, Terrapins and More
August 2013
If you can imagine a treat with the three most important food groups – crunchy, salty and sweet – combined into one, then you’ve envisioned Snappers. Made with pretzel crisps, creamy caramel, and milk chocolate, the gourmet snacks are The Milk Shake Factory’s twist on turtles, a familiar chocolate sweet. Sold for $8.99 exclusively at Costco’s east coast and mid-Atlantic stores, Snappers are not only irresistible; they’re also easy on the budget.
The Milk Shake Factory, founded in 1914, is still run today as an old-fashioned ice cream soda fountain. Offering 55 flavors of milkshakes and an array of gourmet chocolates, the Edward’s grandchildren carry-on their grandparent’s legacy and have expanded upon it by creating Edward Marc Chocolatiers.
In our official taste testing, the Snappers tied with Edward Marc’s terrapins. Terrapins are a decadent indulgence of handmade caramel on a bed of Texas pecans covered with rich milk chocolate. Pricier than the Snappers at $24, you can justify satisfying your sweet tooth by purchasing the pink version and donating 20 percent of the sale during October to Susan G. Komen.
