No, it\u2019s not the cholesterol caused by the candy\u2019s saturated fat. I\u2019ve been a fan of the chocolate, caramel, and cookie crunch combo since its debut in the US. When I was growing up, if any house in the neighborhood passed out Twix on Halloween, I\u2019d get some in one costume, do a mid-All Hallows Eve costume change, and return to the house to get more. That adoration is still with me today, because I find myself eating all the Twix from Mars candy assortments, leaving the Snickers and Milky Way as scraps. So these Papa Johns Twix Papa Bites are a no-brainer, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-58881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts2.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The dessert or horrible idea for a meal combines Papa Johns\u2019 fresh dough with bits of Twix Cookie Bars.

After inhaling three pieces, I wondered if this would end up being my horrible idea for dinner because I wanted to eat them all, despite the item looking like the worse-case scenario for a microwaved Hot Pocket. But I didn\u2019t give in to temptation and left the rest for another day. Okay, another hour.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-58882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts3.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts3.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts3.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts3.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s chocolatey. It\u2019s caramel-y. It\u2019s doughy. But it\u2019s not cookie-y, and that\u2019s a big but to me. A large part of Twix\u2019s appeal is its cookie crunch, and these Papa Bites lack that. There\u2019s a grittiness that I assume are cookie bits, but they\u2019re so minuscule and have been sitting in melted chocolate and caramel that they don\u2019t provide any crunch at all. They make so little of a contribution that I could tell folks that these are Rolo Papa Bites, and they would probably believe me.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-58883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts4.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts4.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pjtwixpapabts4.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, an order comes with caramel dipping sauce, but only used it with a couple of pieces.
