Advantages: wonderful combination and taste Disadvantages: moreish, dull wrapper
...The Twix wrapper, like most Mars products is understated. It is predominantly gold with the word “Twix” in red letters across the middle. Along the side I am told that it is “foil sealed for extra crunchiness”. The wrapper describes the bar as “milk chocolate (35%) covered caramel (32%) and biscuit”. It contains no warnings about nuts or anything like that.
The wrapper is easy to break into which presumably is also essential to enable the Twix to ... ...good sized, square, fingers of chocolate. The chocolate on the surface is rippled, giving the fingers a somewhat rugged appearance. The smell is predominantly a chocolate one but it is not a very sweet chocolate smell nor particularly strong. There is also a distinct buttery, biscuit undertone.
As I mentioned earlier these are one of my Dad’s favourites so I do know what to expect taste-wise having snacked on the odd Twix at home. The first bite ...

Advantages: Great taste, texture, cheap, availability Disadvantages: Not as good as other chocolate bars
...all so familiar smell of Mars chocolate, almost identical to that of a mars bar. So yes the smell of these are quite nice. Now its time to tuck in- my favourite part.
There are many ways to eat the twix. I like to eat each bar differently- the first one I like to disect and the second I like to munch away on without paying much attention. The twixx bar is in 3 layers, or 4, depending on how you look at it. The first layer is shortbread biscuit, ... ...kids lunchboxes or partys. So Mars have done a very good job at targeting all audiences and this is perhaps why twixes are so popular to this day.
'''5 Sense Summary'''
*Sound- No sound
*Texture- smooth chocolate with slight ripple effect ontop,tough caramel, crunchy biscuit
*Sight- 11cm x 5cm milk chocolate bar
*Smell- subtle smell of chocolate
*Taste- very nice, buttery shortbread, chewy sweet caramel and milky chocolate.

...bar, Twix is made by mars and has been around for the longest time (since 1967 to be precise). Now most of you guys on here will not have been around then let alone be able to remember it but I for one can and I still remember my delight as I took the first ever bite of a Twix bar. They became my instant favourite and even after all these years and the arrival of ever more delicious sweets to the market they remain one of my first choices today.
... ...are many if not all mars products but I find the ice cream version to be far too sickly although it does remain a certain resemblance to Twix taste it is not nor ever will be a replacement to a Twix bar for me.
The other thing Twix has in its favour is availability, I have never and I mean never went into a local store, newsagents or supermarket and not been able to purchase a Twix. Some other sweet`s can be hard to find with some stores preferring ...

...Twix is part of the Mars Confectionary stable of chocolate; it includes the Mars bar, Milky Way, Snickers, Maltesers and Bounty. The Twix bar was introduced to the market from its Slough home in 1967, it has with the help of consistent and effective advertising become a household name and a bar most people have tried and enjoyed as sometime in their lives.

...to find out about the Mars Company, where Twix comes from. HISTORY OF MARS (from www.mars.com)
Frank Mars and his wife, way back in 1911 decided to work on producing butter-cream candies. He and his son then decided that it would be a good idea to try and produce something consisting of chocolate and malted milk. The result? The Milky Way! However in Europe it was actually known as the Mars bar. They then went on to produce Snickers, M&M's and the ... ...know that the Mars Company produce other things including Whiskas pet food, and Uncle Ben's rice? Anyway, back to the Twix. The Twix we know is a wonderful classic, consisting of golden caramel, layered on top of crunchy biscuit. I managed to then find out an interesting fact about the make up of the Twix from the website. It was a challenge for the producers to be able to put caramel (full of moisture) on top of a biscuit (which is obviously dry!). ...

Advantages: If you fancy a bit of sweetness, go for it Disadvantages: At 14g of fat you might not want to! lol
Hmmmmm, I'm on a diet and sitting here at 10.30am scoffing a chocolate bar. Not good. Oh well, might as well get an op out of it - perhaps the typing will burn the calories off??? No? Ok then. :o)
For me, choosing a chocolate bar isn't a case of rush in and grab anything, pay and scoff. Nooooo, I don't like raisins and have aquired an aversion to wafer of any description with chocolate so to choose a bar that suits takes a while. But not this morning. ... ...inside the shop - I didn't want a bar of solid chocolate (too hot outside), I fancied something sweet but biscuity at the same time. *Rolf Harris impression* 'Do you know what it is yet?'

Advantages: Great combination of chocolate, caramel and biscuit base. Disadvantages: I prefer cadbury's chocolate, Sickly
...a chocolate bar made by Mars which consists of a sweet biscuit base with a thick layer of caramel which is then covered all over in milk chocolate. Twix has 2 fingers of this yummy combination in the wrapper. It’s available to buy from local shops and supermarkets for about 56p. I believe you can also buy these in multipacks and lunch-box size which contain just one smaller Twix finger. Twix has been released in many countries which has included ... ...Chocolate, Choc ‘N’ Orange and many more flavours. A lot of these were apparently released in the UK but I don’t ever remember seeing any other Twix bars other than the standard bar which is available to buy now.

Twix comes in plastic foil wrapper which is gold in colour. It has ‘Twix’ in red, bold writing across the front and also shoes a small picture of what Twix looks like. On the front if the packet it also states there are ...

...at the edges like other Mars products. 'Twix' is written in spiky red writing with a white outline which contrasts well against the gold. The only change is the addition of two CG but realistic looking Twix fingers, poking from behind the ending 'X'; one is bitten to show the caramel biscuit interior. I really love the packaging; it's stylish and different. How many metalic wrappers, apart from a Cadbury Crunchie or Nestle Yorkie, are on the market?
... ...nice. It's the normal unique Mars chocolate but this smells sweeter than that of a Mars Bar. Perhaps the malty nougat in a Mars Bar disguised the sweeter smell . It's hard to just bite the chocolate off from a Twix without getting a bit of ether the caramel or the biscuit because the chocolate layer is very thin. After having done my best to purely nibble off the chocolate from the edges (which was plesantly sweet and chocolately despite the lack ...

...I have a Bounty, a Mars or a Twix. God I hate making a decision like this but out comes my 45p and I key in H02 which then makes a Twix drop down the shute. I am rather excited as I lift this little gold treasure but also a bit gutted as I now only have 55p left of my pocket money……….

You know that bit that comes with the op details on the ciao latest lists? The bit where you get to see at most half a sentence of the op as a teaser?
What practical good does it actually do, apart for sometimes show up newbies for having no grammar or punctuation?
Anyway, at least theediscerning has waffled past that cut-off point, and the op can actually start.

There was once a Ciaoer who was game -
Online, theediscerning was his ... ...any other style was too tame.
The makers have very lightly browned
The plastic wrapping, or even surround.
If you care for these bics
Look for the word 'Twix'
In red, that's how they are found.
It's chocolate that is first into view.
Inside is biscuit, and caramel too.
There's a lovely crunch
As you start to munch
And the caramel deserves a good chew.
There's three or four mouthfuls per stick,
As they're long and slender, and not thick.

I usually buy the Twix twin bar at 58g which incidentally are on offer a Tesco from 30/5/07 until 26/06/07. Not a great offer but an offer nontheless.

There is a KINGSIZE (well OK, I don`t buy that one it is far too big) at 50p.

This review is about the chocolate bar Twix, it has been out in the world for ages, it is a great snack to have when you are feeling a bit pekish. It is black chocolate-coated biscuit, which is crunchy, and delicious. It is a great chocolate bar to have with your lunch maybe, or a snack in between lunch and dinner.

Twix comes in a yellow wrapper, which covers one stick of Twix. The bar Twix is only a stick, in each single bar, you can get special ones which have 2 sticks, which means it is a bigger pack.

What more could you want?

When I say "distinctive", people will know what I mean.
