Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?
Guess again. In honor of Israel's 60th birthday next week, Osem is creating a new version of the Israeli Classic Bamba Junk Food -- Bamba with creamy chocolate nougat inside.
Sorry people, it sounds totally gross.Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael טובה הארץ מאד מאד
There is no way to improve Bamba--it will always be gross.
ReplyDeleteBamba was definitely not the reason I made Aliya and will not be included in my "Sixty Reasons I love living in Israel, coming up on Yom Ha'atzmaut".
ReplyDeleteAhh, but how I love Reeses Pieces! You can get them at mega for about 10 shekel.
I hate the greasy film that Bamba leaves on a kid's hands and mouth. This gross creation muust leave them even stickier.
ReplyDeleteJust because Bamba is basically peanut-butter infused styrofoam packing peanuts, doesn't meant that...oh wait, never mind.
ReplyDeleteI still like them somewhat. I would LOVE to try this special edition!
This stuff would kill me.
ReplyDeleteha! I saw this at the super an hour ago. I had a small bag in my cart, but then put it back. Couldn't bring myself to get it.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of regular bamba though.
i love bamba. there's something particularly satisfying about it. And no, it's not just a pregnancy thing.
ReplyDeleteI find it hysterical that they sell it in health food stores in America, like it's a healthy snack. :D
did i miss the full disclosure 'actualy eatind anything to do with peanuts will kill me so i may be biased here' ?
ReplyDeletepeanut butter and choclate is a great combination but im afraid the texture the corn adds might ruin it. used to love bamba til i had kids.
i would describe bamba residue (a term i think i mightve just coined?) as being crumby and greasy but not necessarily sticky.
happy 60th
Silly Americans,
ReplyDeleteBamba is the best snack food there is. It's light, it's fluffy and it's peanut buttery. Can't get better than that. Wise potato chips don't even come in a close 2nd.
I like Bamba.
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate.
sounds like I just might like this new stuff.
peanuts dont deserve the abomination that is bamba.. god bless those high protein low carb little treasures of all people gym-addicted..
ReplyDeleteanyway - as revolting as this new culinary monster may sound.. im frikkin gonna have to try for myself.. :)
bamba is strangely addictive.
ReplyDeletesometimes (really more rarely than sometimes!) when i'm feeling particularly reckless, i make my kids the israeli equivalent of a fluffernutter for a snack -- chocolate spread and peanut butter. i call it a reeses sandwich!
Faith disclosed: did i miss the full disclosure 'actualy eatind anything to do with peanuts will kill me so i may be biased here' ?
ReplyDeleteNo Faith, you didn't miss it. But yes, you're right, I'm totally biased and the stuff will kill me in under a minute.
You can start the underground guide to understanding the Muqata blog :-)
