3 Musketeers has always been known as “a lighter way to enjoy chocolate®” but hey… who’s counting calories on your birthday?

They’re about the same calories as everything else.

It’s not often that 3 Musketeers mess around with new flavors, but when they do? Results are pretty good! Marshmallow 3 Musketeers, Coconut 3 Musketeers, Hot Cocoa 3 Musketeers, and Mint Dark Chocolate 3 Musketeers are just some of the 3 Musketeers that I’ve enjoyed in my non-blogging years.  However, it’s been at least half a decade since they’ve rolled out a new flavor, and they’re rolling out their big guns with a new 3 Musketeers Birthday Cake.

Or at the very least… they successfully convinced me to buy a candy bar that I 1000% would not have  otherwise.

Though it looks like the same turd it always looked like, inside 3 Musketeers Birthday Cake is a new vanilla-flavored nougat with colorful sprinkles.

But wait… vanilla-flavored nougat? Isn’t that kind of what a regular 3 Musketeers is?

For the most part, that is exactly what 3 Musketeers Birthday Cake tastes like. This just a sweeter version of the original. A funfetti cake wrapped in milk chocolate this is not.

This really doesn’t translate to terrible news, even if it will disappoint the most hardcore of birthday cake lovers. I find myself preferring this version as the sweetened nougat’s whipped texture draws some parallels to a vanilla cake frosting. My first impression is that the nougat is a little thicker and less fluffy than the OG 3 Musketeers, though I don’t have one on hand to compare because I literally never buy 3 Musketeers unless they’re fun, stupid flavors.

Bottom line – there just isn’t enough birthday cake flavor inside to compensate for the milk chocolate on the outside. The result is a good-tasting, slightly nuanced, and slightly more colorful version of 3 Musketeers.

Already a big fan of 3 Musketeers? Then Happy Birthday, you skinny little thing you.
