A Mounds bar is not a sprinkle! A Twizzler is not a sprinkle! A Jolly Rancher is not a sprinkle, sir. Perhaps in Shangri-la they are, but not here!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, is a Twix bar a sprinkle? Did 7-Eleven break the convenience code, or do they use a different rulebook than the Kwik-E-Mart?<\/p>\n<p>I guess a better question is do you care?<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t care. You just wanna know if a donut sprinkled with Twix pieces is good. I\u2019ll kill the suspense right here. Yes. Of course a donut covered in Twix pieces is good.<\/p>\n<p>Do you like heavy donuts? Your entire enjoyment of the 7-Eleven Caramel Bar made with Twix Donut might hinge on that question. This donut was almost as big a mouthful as that name.<\/p>\n<p>I personally like really dense donuts, so this was right up my alley. If you wanna know what the texture was like, think of two chocolate frosted Dunkin\u2019 Donuts violently mashed together. This is a heavy piece of pastry. The fact it\u2019s oblong and hole-less definitely added to that density.<\/p>\n<p>Sticking to that comparison, this basically tastes like a chocolate frosted Dunkin\u2019 Donut with caramel added (Note to Dunkin\u2019 Donuts: Sell those.) <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/7-Eleven-Caramel-Bar-Made-with-Twix-Donut-2.jpg?resize=550%2C734\" alt=\"7 Eleven Caramel Bar Made with Twix Donut 2\" title=\"7-Eleven Caramel Bar Made with Twix Donut 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"734\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The caramel is painted on top like a standard icing, and definitely tasted authentic to a Twix. I will say that it did get a bit overshadowed due to the chocolate drizzle and candy pieces that were caked on top as well as the dense dough, but it was still tasty.<\/p>\n<p>The Twix bits, which looked like pretzel pieces on first glance, did their job just fine. I probably could have even used more of them. The Homer Simpson approach of just tossing an intact bar atop the donut may have worked better. Instead of chopping Twix up, I would have liked five or six mini Twix on top \u2013 one per bite. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/7-Eleven-Caramel-Bar-Made-with-Twix-Donut-3.jpg?resize=550%2C734\" alt=\"7 Eleven Caramel Bar Made with Twix Donut 3\" title=\"7-Eleven Caramel Bar Made with Twix Donut 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"734\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I thought for sure there would be some kind of caramel or chocolate filling, but I cut it open and was proven wrong. That may have been overkill, but I can imagine some people yearning for a little something to cut the dough.<\/p>\n<p>The donut had a pleasant scent, but everything in a 7-Eleven bakery cabinet smells the same over time.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend the 7-Eleven Caramel Bar made with Twix Donut for sure. I\u2019d also recommend picking up a Twix and chasing each donut bite to really hammer home the Twix experience. Why not? You\u2019ve been good all week.<\/p>\n<p>This is a winner for 7-Eleven in my eye, but it might be too heavy and too skimpy on the Twix pieces for some people. Still, if you\u2019re stopping in for a morning coffee, this beast will hold you over \u2019til lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, come again.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; Not available.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b>  $1.69<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> N\/A<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> I really like dense, chewy donuts.
