Advantages: Chocolate, caramel and shortbread, whats not to love?

Disadvantages: Lots of calories and fat!

My new chocolate bar of choice from the vending machine at work (number 46 if you're interested, sad that I know that I know...)


A Twix is two shortbread fingers topped with chewy, smooth caramel and then coated in thick milk chocolate...mmmm.

The wrapper has changed slightly over the years but always remains gold and shiny with the iconic Twix writing in red and white.
The bar is 58g and the calories and fat info are given per 29g so they're presuming you're a strong willed person and can eat just one finger at a time! I wish I had that strength.
The fact it is divided into two equal fingers means little to me, for some better people it would mean this would last them for two snacks/breaks but not me sadly.

A Twix is 35% milk chocolate and 32% caramel, the rest is shortbread (and probably additives)
Obviously a Twix isn't the healthiest of snacks as its a bar of chocolate and sugar! One finger contains 143 calories and 7g of fat (more than 25% fat that is!)

I love the combination of textures in a Twix; the shortbread is very crunchy, the chocolate creamy and the caramel sticky, it is unsurprisingly one of the sweetest choc bars available so only suitable for those with very sweet teeth!!

They are made by Mars so the chocolate isn't Cadburys but still a pretty tasty milk chocolate and its a nice thick layer all around the two fingers, the caramel is not hard (except if you freeze it which believe me is a tasty way of consuming Twix's!) and melts in the mouth or the cup of coffee I usualy dip mine in, you get about the same thickness of caramel as you do shortbread. The shortbread is quite a plain flavour and is there mostly for the texture in my opinion.

The main taste for me is definitely the caramel, its sickly and sweet but all 3 flavours and textures work in lovely, sweet harmony in my opinion.


A classic chocolate bar which is definitely in my top 5 (I think!)

A bar costs 50p from the vending machine at my work and around the same from supermarkets, you can buy them in multi-packs which works out cheaper per bar but I don't trust myself with a pack of 6 or 12 of these in my fridge!

Summary: Yum
