> [@DorkVader](#): > > It lacks the richness and fullness of chocolatey peanutty buttery richness it once had. It tasted thin, weak, like muddy water coffee made with cheap used grounds instead of rich full flavored coffee made with quality fresh grounds. Interesting. I had exactly the opposite reaction. It tasted more peanut-y and more chocolate-y to me than the original, and I literally had them side-by-side. I mean, it’s all subjective in the end, but I find it odd that people think the new version tastes stale compared to the old. Literally opposite for me. I guess if you eat these bars frequently, you are probably not going to like any change. Butterfingers were one of my 5 favorite candy bars, but I rarely ate them more than twice a year, so perhaps I’m not as married to the old flavor. ---

I’ll cast my vote for, “Hated it.” Pisses me off. If I could get a 5th Avenue or Clark bar around here, I’d be OK with it, but it’s Butterfinger or nothing. Tastes a bit bitter to me. ---

Weird I had a couple fun size bars from Halloween and didn’t notice a change. Same flaky messy chocolate, did those get updated yet? ---

I bought a bag of them for Halloween, I thought they were still pretty good. It seemed like they had a little more “snap” vs “crumble” when you bite into them, but I can’t say I noticed much difference in the taste.
