Twix Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bar 1.79 oz (Pack of 36)

This isn't one of those fluffy, shallow posts about why we love chocolate you'll find strewn across the internet that are aimed at the kind of people which go weak at the knees for a Dairy Milk, a Galaxy, or dare I say it, a Reece's cup. To me to me the emotional desire for that kind of "chocolate" is more about the big businesses knowing how to get us addicted to sugar, fat and salt. What I'm actually talking about here is why we appreciate artisan chocolate, craft chocolate, bean to bar chocolate, or what I call "real chocolate".We could go down the scientific route here and talk about the that chocolate lovers apparently have different bacteria in their gut (nice!); how there are mood-altering compounds that affect your serotonin levels and the creation of ... MoreThis isn't one of those fluffy, shallow posts about why we love chocolate you'll find strewn across the internet that are aimed at the kind of people which go weak at the knees for a Dairy Milk, a Galaxy, or dare I say it, a Reece's cup.

The truth is that every week there will be another scientific study that says "chocolate is healthier than fruit" or it may "protect the brain from strokes." You'll even get the NHS discussing claims and counter-claims as what effect chocolate has depression.

Twix is a popular candy bar that features a crunchy cookie center, coated in caramel and milk chocolate. The brand is known for its sweet and satisfying flavor, and its convenient size makes it a great snack option for on-the-go. Twix offers a variety of different flavors and sizes to cater to different preferences, such as Twix Peanut Butter and Twix White Chocolate. Overall, I would highly recommend Twix to anyone looking for a delicious and indulgent candy bar.

Twix is produced by Mars so you're getting a quality product made from years of knowledge and experience. It was first introduced to the UK in 1967 before going over the sea to the States in 1979. It's extremely popular now in many countries, and I doubt I could find many people in the UK that haven't heard of, or tried, Twix.Twix are typically sold individually in 2 finger foil-wrapped packets for freshness. They've retained most of their classic appeal over time with the gold wrapper and they still have the same yummy goodness. They're made of a shortbread biscuit base, with a layer of caramel on top, and is then covered in smooth milk chocolate. There are now quite a few cheaper alternatives, such as by own store brands like Tesco, but none have quite the same ... MoreTwix is produced by Mars so you're getting a quality product made from years of knowledge and experience.

They're made of a shortbread biscuit base, with a layer of caramel on top, and is then covered in smooth milk chocolate. There are now quite a few cheaper alternatives, such as by own store brands like Tesco, but none have quite the same taste and appeal in my opinion, even though a chocolate covered biscuit finger is quite a simple concept.What I quite like doing with these in warmer months is putting them in the fridge; they taste lovely when they come out cooler and take a little longer to eat so you can savour the taste. They're great with a nice warm cuppa, but the flavour is also brought out quite well with a glass of milk (brings out the child in me a little bit, but it's a nice Friday night treat!).Twix isn't exactly extra special as it's quite basic, but it has a classic appeal and distinctive taste which is delicious.Overall, these are fairly simplistic in concept but retain a classic appeal and taste that's moreish and that can't quite be replicated by cheaper brands, even if they do come close. They are on the pricey side, however, for what they are, so they're not treats I tend to buy all that often these days until they're on offer.

This entire box was full of nothing but Left Twix bars. Personally I prefer the "delicious cookie bar" of Left Twix over the "scrumptious cookie bar" of the Right Twix. Some people say they can't taste the difference, but those people are uneducated hillbillies, from GA most likely. It's almost like saying you can't tell the difference between the "perfectly creamy caramel" on Left Twix and the "ideally smooth caramel" of Right Twix. I mean, seriously people, who can't tell the difference in "perfectly creamy" and "ideally smooth"?!?! ONE IS CREAMY! THE OTHER IS SMOOTH! Pull your head out of @$$! Now, when it comes to the chocolate, I have to admit, I do prefer the way Right Twix "cloaks their bars in flavorful milk chocolate" over the way Left Twix simply "cover's ... MoreThis entire box was full of nothing but Left Twix bars.

Now, when it comes to the chocolate, I have to admit, I do prefer the way Right Twix "cloaks their bars in flavorful milk chocolate" over the way Left Twix simply "cover's their bar in rich milk chocolate". Obviously the cloaking with flavorful milk chocolate is better, which is upsetting to me that it resides solely on Right Twix. If they could move this one superior feature to the Left Twix, you Sir, would have the best candy bar ever created.Now, if you are a fan of Right Twix, that's fine! It's America and you are free to love which ever Twix you want! But don't buy this box looking for a Right Twix, you won't find it here! I used to think that each package contained one of each, but that's false! This box is full of nothing by Left Twix bars, and that's perfect for a Left Twix lover like myself. That's why I gave this product a 5 star review, because Left Twix bars are the best, and this box is full of them!

I loved everything about this bar. I liked it more than regular twix and am happy I can still get it! It has more caramel and yumminess.

I bought this product after seeing it in Walgreens. I have thick naturally curly hair that tends to end up dry a bit frizzy. First time using any product is always trial error. First time I used it, I errored big time. Lol. I put it on my hair while still soaking wet didn't use my usual keratin oil I normally use when wearing my hair naturally curly. (I straighten my hair most of the time-just easier to deal with) Ended up kinda crunchy stiff. I knew immediately I had used to much product. So I used my water bottle, re-wet it a bit used my towel to squeeze some of the product out. Next time I used it, i squeeze dried my hair more, placed my oil on my hair waited a while then spritzed my hair with the Beach Babe. I combed it through my hair to ensure even ... MoreI bought this product after seeing it in Walgreens. I have thick naturally curly hair that tends to end up dry a bit frizzy.

I combed it through my hair to ensure even distribution flipped my head over scrunched it a bit. I didn't error this time. My hair looked fabulous! My curls ended up defined yet soft, stayed frizz free throughout entire day ( it gets humid here in Tennessee) the next morning my hair wasn't all crazed out. Which my curly hair on normal mornings is normally just madness. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has curly, even just mildly wavy hair. Even my friends with super straight hair have loved it after me advising them on how to apply it. I always have a bottle of this in my bathroom is my go to for easy hair days.

When I think conventional candy bars I usually end up going with Twix or Snickers. The good thing about Twix is that the US version is similar to the UK version I grew up with. I find them a little on the sweet side but oddly enough they contain less sugar (and more fat) than Snickers - perhaps the lack of protein makes them taste sweeter. If eaten with a cup of tea the sweetness is tolerable (i.e. reduced below the tooth-pain level) and they actually taste a lot better if pre-chilled. They don't contain partially hydrogenated oil, which means no trans fat (unlike Snickers, which like most candy bars contains a small percentage of trans fats but are allowed to label it as zero by the FDA if it's less than 0.5 g). Twix also doesn't contain egg whites, unlike ... MoreWhen I think conventional candy bars I usually end up going with Twix or Snickers.

Twix also doesn't contain egg whites, unlike Snickers.I had a preconception that Mars Inc. was not going to be all that great in terms of sustainability and social responsibility and was surprised to find that they are actually leading the field when you compare them to the other gigantic multinational chocolate and snack makers. Not to say that they are anywhere close to the standard of smaller companies like Equal Exchange or Alter Eco, but they are ahead of many similar-sized companies such as Hershey. Nothing about the packaging on Mars products suggests that they are making much of an effort on the social-environmental fronts but interviews with Kevin Rabinovitch, global sustainability director at Mars, and data on their website shows that they are making a big push on these fronts. You can see all of their extensive targets and progress made towards these targets on their site (search for "Mars targets and progress"). Here's some progress made between 2007 and 2013: Mars factories reduced waste sent to landfill by 66%; fossil fuel-based energy use was reduced by 6.5 percent; GHG emissions went down by 5 percent; water use was reduced by 14%; Recycled content in packaging is now 41%; palm oil is now 100% certified. Actually, their palm oil is all RSPO-certified, but this is by no means a perfect system, so they aim to move to truly sustainable palm oil, with fully traceable sources, by the end of 2014. It doesn't look like they will achieve some of their 2015 targets but at least they set ambitious targets and are being transparen't about their progress.30% of the cocoa bought by Mars is now certified (by UTZ, the Rainforest Alliance, and/or Fairtrade International). This is not bad progress since it was reported to be only 1% in 2009. Some individual products (such as Maltesers) are completely Fair Trade certified. The price of cocoa has been increasing, but the farmers who supply many of the large companies have actually seen their share decrease. According to the Guardian, growers in West Africa are likely to receive just 3.5% to 6.4% of the final value of a chocolate bar compared with 16% in the late 1980s while manufacturers' share has increased from 56% to 70%. Besides the impact on pricing, certification is also crucial for ending the chocolate slave trade.Mars was the first of the huge chocolate makers to make a commitment, in 2009, to not source cacao connected with child slave labor (by 2020). The other big chocolate makers eventually followed, making similar statements. Child slavery is predominantly an issue in West Africa where children can be sold by relatives or abducted from neighboring countries, and are forced to work long days under difficult conditions, harvesting cacao pods and missing an education in the process. Also, Mars aim that its offices and factories will use no fossil fuels and emit no greenhouse gases by 2040. All good targets, but you'd still have to ask yourself do you want to buy products from a company that aims to be carbon neutral and not benefit from slavery when there are companies already achieving these goals. Alter Eco, for example, is already carbon-neutral and aims to be carbon-positive eventually by planting trees through the Pur project. I think the bottom line is that if you (or your kids) have your heart set on a Twix-type bar (rather than straight chocolate) then Mars looks like a better choice than many of the comparable companies out there like Hershey and Nestlé.None of the standard Mars products are certified organic. Organic certification does make a significant difference when it comes to chocolate -- more pesticide is used to grow conventional (non-organic) cacao than almost any other crop. For example, Lindane (a neurotoxic organochlorine pesticide that bioaccumulates through the food chain) is still used as a pesticide in some regions despite the health risks and has also been detected in many conventional chocolate bars. Besides the risk to the consumer, conventional (non-organic, non-shade-grown) cacao farming can be very bad news for tropical rainforest

irst off, the packaging is great, eye catching shiny gold. It makes me feel like I'm about to buy something priceless, and the cookie bars with caramel and milk chocolate inside are really just about as good as gold. When I was a kid, other than maybe a Kit Kat, this bar was my first exposure in getting multiple chocolates in one package and I always felt like I got more for my money buying a Twix. Also when you have a sibling, having two chocolates makes life a lot easier when trying to split something.As for the cookie bar itself, that name is apt. The bar is based around a semi-crumbly cookie with a layer of caramel on top, followed by a casing of milk chocolate. When you bite into it you'll find yourself first peeling away the soft caramel from the rest of the ... Moreirst off, the packaging is great, eye catching shiny gold.

The bar is based around a semi-crumbly cookie with a layer of caramel on top, followed by a casing of milk chocolate. When you bite into it you'll find yourself first peeling away the soft caramel from the rest of the bar, but then chewing down into a caramel chocolate goo followed abruptly by a cookie crunch. While the beginning of a mouthful may be filled with cookie chomping, you're left with a near perfect mixture of caramel and chocolate. When described it may sound like two conflicting experiences in a mouthful, but its not, the cookie and caramel / chocolate mixture compliment each other wonderfully, and this is a bar where I find myself enjoying each mouthful as a multi-faceted experience. Is it reading too much into things to say the cookie and caramel / chocolate combo is another extension of the twin theme for Twix? Yes , it probably is; but these are the things that come to mind when trying to explain how a mouthful of Twix just manages to work in every respect.

The Debate Rages On!!!

You’ve all seen the commercials: Left Twix vs. Right Twix. The choice. The mystery. The inherent moral dilemma. When I found myself pondering this important existential question, I realized this is a question much bigger and important than any one individual. This is a question of good vs. evil. A question of moral vs. immoral. Does the crispy, chewy, chocolaty deliciousness of the LEFT Twix lead you down a road of overindulgence and depravity, or does it lead you into a life of service to others, gratitude, and the betterment of humanity? Or does the crispy, chewy, chocolaty deliciousness of the RIGHT Twix lead you down a road of overindulgence and depravity, or does it lead you into a life of service to others, gratitude, and the betterment of humanity?

Twix is great, broken or not

Twix makes a solid product, but this one was damaged before purchase. One of the two stix was broken, but it didn't affect the overall functionality or taste. It fit into my pie-hole just fine, and I very much enjoyed the balanced presentation of the milk chocolate, caramel, and cookie. For my next purchase I will likely double check the bar integrity, even though it didn't affect the outcome. It's just nice to get undamaged product when buying new.5/5 despite the structural issues.
