Tuesday 31st January, 2012 - Twix

THE CARAMEL IS BACK, YO!


The classic Twix is biscuit topped with caramel, coated with milk chocolate. The name comes from the words 'twin sticks', and these were first produced in the UK in 1967.

The amount of caramel in these is generous, and the chocolate is quite nice. However, it's the biscuit in these that lets the experience down. It's very bland and dry, I think. If there was something else other than biscuit in it it would be much nicer, but then it would be an entirely different chocolate bar. Also, I know a lot of people are fond of these, and I don't think they'd be too happy if these changed!

Twix used to be called Raider in many parts of Europe, though this was changed in 1991 to fit in with international branding. There's lots of different ways you can eat these (as laid out here), but the best way, in my opinion, is to chill it a little, then nibble off all the biscuit until you're left with just the sweet, sweet caramel.... mmmmm *Homer Simpson style drooling* ^_^
