Taste: These snack cakes looked from the picture on the box to be a lot like Twinkies, but with the addition of a wide stripe of chocolate on top, running the full length of the cake. It wasn't a full exterior chocolate coating like Chocodiles so they still closely resembled Twinkies. As a fan of Twinkies and a fan of milk chocolate, that sounded like a great combination to me! I bit in to find the expected soft Twinkies texture, with plenty of sweetness from both the cake and the creme filling, and it was nicely enhanced by the chocolate on top. Very good!Shop: Buy snacks at Amazon.comAroma: Smells like Twinkies, but with some chocolate too.
Taste: This box contained six individually wrapped candy bars, each fairly small. Each bar had a chocolate exterior with kind of a rough texture, and it appeared that the bar was a mix of crunchy things and milk chocolate. I initially thought it was maybe something like Rice Krispies, but the ingredients had various other things, including wheat and corn, that presumably constituted the crunchy elements of the bar. The taste and feel were quite good: lots of chocolate, but a light feel overall, less dense than a standard chocolate bar. It was hard to eat just one of the bars, but thankfully there were six of them, and three bars seemed to be a good serving size.Shop: Buy snacks at Amazon.comAroma: Good milk chocolate smell.
