The Cookout Snickers milkshake aims to be a liquid candy bar, and the fan reviewer who expected it to fail found nearly a whole candy bar at the bottom of the cup. The 32.4 oz cup carries 720 calories and 19 grams of protein, seventh most on the menu, and typically costs $3.99.
Why did a skeptical reviewer give Snickers 11.5 of 17?
The reviewer at cookoutmilkshakereviews.com expected little, doubting that caramel, peanuts, chocolate and nougat would survive a blender. The shake surprised them: it tasted noticeably of peanut butter, scored full marks for texture (2 of 2) and left nearly a whole candy bar at the bottom of the cup.
Where do the other reviews land?
| Source | Verdict |
|---|---|
| The Daily Meal | 29th of 41; caramel, chocolate and salty peanut notes, best eaten with a spoon; add fudge, caramel and peanut butter for the full bar |
| The Talon (2018) | 19th of 43 |
| Tripadvisor reviewer, Morristown, TN | Lists Snickers with the Reese's Cup and Heath Bar shakes among favorites |
| TikTok promotions | Pair a Snickers and Butterfinger combination at the same $3.99 |
The Daily Meal's critique is that the shake does not taste enough like the bar, and its fix is more sauce. The fan scorer's surprise is the opposite: more peanut butter than expected.
Where does the protein come from?
The peanuts. At 19 grams, Snickers has more protein than any other candy shake except Reese's Cup at 24, and more than M&M's at 17 or Heath Toffee at 15. It reaches that number with 720 calories, the second lightest of the four.
| Candy shake | Calories | Protein | Protein per 100 cal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reese's Cup | 894 | 24 g | 2.7 g |
| Snickers | 720 | 19 g | 2.6 g |
| M&M's | 755 | 17 g | 2.3 g |
| Heath Toffee | 701 | 15 g | 2.1 g |
Does the Snickers shake contain peanuts?
Snickers bars contain peanuts, and the shake carries them in its salty notes. Our allergen chart lists milk and asks you to confirm mix-ins, so anyone with a peanut allergy should skip it.
Where does the Cookout Snickers milkshake land?
In the middle. It is a rich, heavy shake with more peanut butter than its name suggests, and the best spoonfuls come last. Think of it as a dessert to scoop, not a flavor to sip.
