LE OhHenry! OhCanada!

I found a display case of these at a Shoppers Drug Mart, still 2 months early for Canada Day. My first reaction upon seeing the wrapper was "Not another maple flavored bar". There was already a OhHenry Maple released for a short while some time ago - a fan of, I was not. But hey, it's a Canada theme, so maple it is! Oh, we can't forget the caption on the wrapper, what does it say... Red and White in Every Bite... intrigueing indeed...
The taste, I can say, is similar to the OhHenry Maple - sweet nougat, caramel, lots of peanuts, covered in milk chocolate. But ohh does it look different. The nougat is red, and the caramel (which I thought at first was marshmallow) is white. Despite my brain expecting to be crunching into a chocolate covered peppermint stick, it was all OhHenry goodness.
There must be a "color the filling" trend going on, what with green Shrek3 Snickers and now red/white OhHenry!
Oh and I was feeling pretty patriotic while eating this cool
