\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

I think the Walmart cashier was flirting with me when I bought this new Twix White. She smiled and made a little joke that I\u2019m \u201cnot supposed to eat white after Labor Day.\u201d <\/p>\n

That\u2019s actually what she said.<\/p>\n

While I applaud her for not being a total mope, and while I did<\/em> give her a courtesy laugh, that didn\u2019t stop me from gazing at the self-service registers longingly. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d made my first blunder of the day; hopefully Twix White wouldn\u2019t be the second.<\/p>\n

Twix, which everyone knows stands for \u201cTwiggy Sticks\u201d have been available in the U.S. since 1969. Outside of a previous limited run in 2005, the white chocolate variety hasn’t been available until now. Just don\u2019t get too attached, because these are also labeled \u201cLimited Edition.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest Twix commercials have informed me I\u2019m supposed to pick a winner between the Right Twix bar and the Left Twix bar, so I ate them with that in mind.<\/p>\n

Upon opening the package and taking a big whiff that basically smelled like nothing, I opted to go with the Left Twix cookie first. Yes, Twix insists on referring to itself as a \u201ccookie\u201d instead of a \u201ccandy bar,\u201d which for some reason bugs me to no end. You\u2019re a candy bar, Twix. Own it. <\/p>\n

The texture of the Left Twix was exactly as I expected — perfect. Twix is one of my favorite candies texture wise, because of the delicious and easy to chew layer of caramel. I never have to worry about it getting stuck to my teeth because it immediately mixes with the crunchy cookie center and the outer chocolate so well.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

The White Chocolate coating had a standard white chocolate flavor I\u2019d tasted in the past, but it was actually milder than I expected. Without that instant punch of chocolate, I feel like I definitely tasted the cookie and caramel a lot more here than with a normal Twix. <\/p>\n

This might sound crazy, but between the caramel, the cookie, and the mild white chocolate, there was a slight saltiness in each bite. The white chocolate\u2019s sweetness didn\u2019t really shine through until the very end, and the aftertaste was still pretty weak.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure white chocolate, especially the kind used here, has enough flavor to carry a Twix bar. I guess I like my white chocolate to be overly sweet. I\u2019m talking \u201chave two bites then take a break\u201d sweet. There isn\u2019t as perfect a marriage of flavors here like there is in a regular Twix. Overall, I found the Left Twix to be pretty boring.<\/p>\n

The Right Twix however was in-cred-ible! Wow! I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing over at Right Twix, but good lord was this \u201ccookie\u201d fantastic!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just kidding. Those commercial are dumb. They tasted exactly the same — boring. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a shame too, because this was one of the freshest Twix I\u2019d had in a long time. Not since Mo, Sol, or Lem stole George Costanza\u2019s Twix from that car dealership vending machine have I had a Twix this fresh, and I eat a lot of em. I already bought a bag of Mini Twix to give out to trick or treaters on Halloween. The bag won\u2019t survive beyond October 25th. Believe me.<\/p>\n

While these weren\u2019t a huge hit for me, I do appreciate this slow burning trend of white chocolate-izing our favorite candy bars, and I really hope it continues until there are none left.<\/p>\n

In the end, Twix White pales<\/em> in comparison to regular Twix. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d appreciate a courtesy laugh for that one.<\/p>\n
