These are Tesco's version of Twix's and although they were alright, they just weren't quite as good as the brand named ones. You can buy these in a Mini Bar pouch which has the other Tesco versions of Chocolates such as Snickers, Mars Bars, and Bounty's or you can buy them in a Snack Sized pack. In the Snack Sized pack you get 7 of these and they cost about £1.10.

Packaging is alright for these. They are individually wrapped and they are all wrapped together in a longer pack. The colourings on the pack are a medium/deep brown and it has the writing in white on the pack. There is the normal picture of the item which has been half eaten and it looks alright on the front.

Now to the Bar. It is a hard layer of Crunchy Digestive type Biscuit. The Biscuit tastes a little Salty, and pretty Malty. The Caramel on the top is a darker brown colour compared to the Twix one and the Caramel seems a little thicker as well. It is all wrapped in Milk Chocolate. The Milk Chocolate is sweet enough, but it doesn't taste that Milky to me. It has the taste of cheaper non brand named Chocolate in my view and that's why it isn't quite so good. It is pretty sweet though, and that is good in my view.

I normally don't eat these straight from the fridge, as I find the Caramel is too hard this way, but they are nice enough at room temperature.

Each Snack sized pack has 285 calories and 13.3g fat, so perhaps a little higher than a standard bar of Chocolate considering the pack size.

These are not my favourite in the Tesco Chocolate range, as I like the Wild N Whippy ones the best, but I would say these are my 2nd favourite as they are sweet enough, and sicky to deal with your sweet tooth.

A cheaper alternative to the brand name, but not that much cheaper if you compare them both.
