One piece of proof I have is that it&#8217;s not beneath Mars to slightly tweak a Twix to generate a new variety. See: Twix Salted Caramel. <\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s circumstantial evidence, and I might be watching too much Law &#038; Order.<\/p>\n<p>The product&#8217;s press release says the new candy bar combines the classic Twix cookie bars with a cookie dough-flavored layer sprinkled with chocolate cookie bits, all of which are coated with milk chocolate. <\/p>\n<p>The use of chocolate cookie bits instead of tiny chocolate chips is what initially made me question the cookie dough layer and wonder if it&#8217;s the same one from the older Twix variety. Because when it comes to cookie dough-flavored products, it&#8217;s usually the combination of something that replicates the sugary dough and bits of chocolate or something that tries to emulate the taste AND feel of chocolate, and that&#8217;s not what the cookie dough layer in this Twix has.<\/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\/2022\/08\/twixcd2.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Twix Cookie Dough Closeup\" title=\"twixcd2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I eat the layer on its own, I don&#8217;t think of cookie dough. Although, to be fair, I don&#8217;t immediately think of cookies and creme either. It does have a sugary, vanilla-ish flavor with bursts of chocolate from the dark bits, which you could convince a jury via taste or appearance that it&#8217;s either cookie dough or cookies and creme. <\/p>\n<p>But the bar, when eaten whole and not layer by layer, does convince me that it&#8217;s cookie dough-flavored. However, it&#8217;s not the black and off-white layer that makes me think that way. It&#8217;s the crunchy cookie bar, and because it tastes like it provides all the dough flavor, I feel Mars reused its cookies and creme layer for this candy. <\/p>\n<p>I rest my case, Your Honor.<\/p>\n<p>My verdict: Twix Cookie Dough is a delicious candy bar with a noticeable cookie dough flavor. Although I have my suspicions about it, they shouldn&#8217;t prevent anyone from trying it.<\/p>\n<p>(<strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twix Cookie Dough will be available nationwide in December 2022. Samples were sent to 1,000 Twix fans who entered a drawing in June to try the candy bar early. And some of those folks sold their samples on eBay, which is how I got my hands on some. And because I got them from a seller on eBay who had to ship it across the country, they look like they might&#8217;ve stared for a moment at the Ark of the Covenant after it opened.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> More than one should pay on eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 1.36 oz bar<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 pack\/2 cookies) 200 calories, 11 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 95 milligrams of sodium, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 17 grams of sugar (including 16 grams of added sugar), and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have no substantial evidence, but I have a feeling the new Twix Cookie Dough might be a Twix Cookies &#038; Creme but with a classic Twix cookie bar instead of a chocolate one.
