Twirl Mint (Candy Mail) By @Cinabar

I know caramel is very much the in flavour at the minute, but take a look abroad, where they are increasing many interesting varieties of bars. I am particularly jealous of the mint flavoured goodies. I imported these bars from an import candy shop because I really wanted to give them a try, and limited edition UK Twirls aren’t very common here, unfortunately. This bar originated in Australia, but it does look much like the UK version, except for the addition of lovely mint.

I opened up the pack and found two Twirl Mint bars inside, with just a light mint and chocolate aroma. They do look smaller than the UK ones, but I’m not sure if that is my imagination. I gave one a try, and the bar was crumbly, but unlike a Flake, it held together thanks to the milk chocolate coating. Always a good texture with a Twirl, though. The flavour was a delight, creamy, sweet milk chocolate with a refreshing burst of peppermint all mixed in. It was well balanced in flavour and fresh, a proper delight to eat. I do like mint chocolate, and I realise I have to search around for it, especially as we seem to be in caramel season once again.
