What is 3 Musketeers Birthday Cake?
It’s the first new 3 Musketeers in, get this, SIX YEARS! A birthday cake variation that doesn’t include chocolate innards but instead it’s packed with vanilla nougat speckled with colorful sprinkles. It’s still all enrobed in rich milk chocolate.
How is it?
You know how chocolate is kind of an overpowering flavor when paired with most things? That’s no more evident than here as the chocolate outside very much takes control of this candy bar. The inside is very nice texturally, but tastes somewhat too milky milk chocolate with an incredibly sweet aftertaste. Birthday cake? Hardly so.
I decided to remove the culprit and try the white speckled interior on its own. By the way, the so-called sprinkles, while fun and a nice touch, are more like small colored flakes that don’t add any new texture. I was hoping for big honking sprinkles.
Now without the chocolate, I did get an intense sweet vanilla flavor that comes through in the nougat, and it is more akin to what I associate with a birthday cake flavor. To be honest, though, I felt like I was using a ladle to transfer the contents of a canned jar of vanilla frosting to my mouth and had to pace myself to finish both bars.
Is there anything else I need to know?
This bar is exclusive to Walmart at the moment and will be available in minis soon as well along with more retailers in early 2019. Fun history fact: 3 Musketeers got its name because the original candy bar had 3 bars with different flavors – Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry.
Conclusion:
If you love eating frosting from a jar or have a fancy for super sweet milk chocolate, then make sure you pick up 3 Musketeers Birthday Cake as you will likely enjoy it. Otherwise, buy yourself Funfetti cake mix with vanilla frosting and dip the finished product into some melted milk chocolate. It will save you a lot of time by not having to track down this flavor and you’ll get a much better end result.

and hoping for a coffee and milk flavor
I hate 3 Musketeers bars, but that is a genius idea. As long as it doesn’t have real coffee in it, sign me up!
well more milk with a esseace of coffee but go full force coffee i have add a tea and milk bar for people who hate coffee with bitter passion
Does Walmart have this yet? I was in two walmarts and I could not find it anywhere. I looked all over the store for it. It says they have it online but I don’t know where it would be in the store.
Check the candy in the checkout aisles. I was at a Wal Mart Marketplace store, and they had the bar there. I would also check any end caps/displays that have candy. Good luck.
This would have been great with Betty Crocker Rainbow Chips inside…so much better than Funfetti sprinkles.
When I first read this review, I thought it was going to be an actual birthday cake, not just birthday cake flavor. xD Mmm…3 Musketeers would be so good in cake form!!
