Twix cookie bars are a modern day miracle. They can be found in both the cookie and candy aisle at your local supermarket, easily making it one of the most recognizable chocolate bars the world over. Twix is a simple, but delicious combination of crunchy, crispy cookie, smooth, chewy caramel and rich, decadent chocolate. The package features two bars, which makes it unique and easier to share with friends (if you are the generous type).  I love how multi-textured a Twix bar is. The cookie has a nice pleasing crunch to it and adds an almost buttery taste to the whole affair. The caramel is smooth and slightly sticky on my tongue and the chocolate is yielding and melts just a little with the heat from your fingers.

Twix is available in both the caramel and peanut butter versions, the latter of the two being my personal favorite – what can I say? I’m a sucker for anything with peanut butter! The peanut butter Twix bar is almost identical to the original caramel bar, with the exception that the caramel is omitted to make way for sweet, salty peanut butter. The peanut butter is sandwiched between the cookie bottom and the chocolate top and sides. Twix has had a toehold in the candy world and I think they always will. So whether you think of yours as a candy or a cookie, it’s delicious either way.
