Did we not just have a massive amount of chocolate yesterday? I thought we'd be tired of chocolate for a little while, but NOPE!
Today we're doing a Twix Candy Bar taste test! And this taste test is sponsored by... Mama Karen! She sent the kids some money for the summer to do something fun and we thought that a taste test and an outdoor toy would be something fun.
So today, there's 4 different Twix Bars that we're going to try!
The Original Twix bar with Caramel (Left Twix only please), Twix with Creamy Peanut Butter, Twix White Chocolate, and Twix Cookies and Creme. I know that I've seen a Dark Chocolate Twix Bar too, but from what I can tell, it was released in 2017 and isn't available any longer.
I cut each bar in half to get a good look inside.
I'm glad they've added that clarification to the package. "Contains Absolutely NO Right Twix". Good thing. Left Twix all the way.
I cut each bar into fourths and now we're prepped.
Pictures completed, now it's time to eat them!
Alli, you're the first to pick today. She's going with the newest addition to the mix, Cookies and Creme!
The bottom is a chocolatey cookie versus the regular cookie. And instead of caramel or peanut butter, there's a "creme" filling along with cookie bits on top.
I do like the Oreo style cookie on the bottom. The creme on the top is a little bit more dry than say an Oreo, but it's still tasty.
Ian picked our next Twix bar. It's the Creamy Peanut Butter Twix. And I know it says Creamy, but it's a little dry too. Still, I like the taste of peanut butter and chocolate, as evidence by my Reese's taste test with 53 different Reese's products we tasted.
For our next flavor, we're going to try Twix White Chocolate.
Theresa - It tastes like nothing...
Alli - It tastes like caramel though.
So Theresa is not a fan of white chocolate. I understand. It's creamy but not chocolatey. And caramel is the secondary flavor here. Not peanut butter or creme.
This is our final flavor. The traditional Twix bar. Please make sure they're from the Left Twix factory. They have flowed caramel on the cookie and then bathed it in chocolate. Right Twix just cascades caramel onto the cookie and cloaks it in chocolate.
Alright everyone. I'm going to count to 3 and then everyone put their finger on their favorite Twix Bar.
1...2...3!
And the results are... Wow. I would not have guessed that. Everyone likes something different!
Theresa - Original Twix
Alli - White Chocolate Twix
Ian - Cookies and Creme
Joe - Creamy Peanut Butter
Thanks Mama Karen! This was a delicious taste test! Now we all know our favorites!
