Coffee in chocolate though??? Until now I would have been hard pushed to name any sort of coffee flavoured chocolate bar - let alone a good standard one. But don't worry the good people at Mars have saved the day in the form of the limited edition Twix Java. The Java replaces your conventional Twix caramel layer with a good lashing of coffee flavoured caramel. Similar to the Twix PB I reviewed earlier this month the bar does not have the standard Twix shortbread biscuit but has the 'cookie' base which is basically the same but just chocolate flavoured.
Before opening the bar I was a tad worried; I was expecting a strong aroma of Coffee but this was not the case. The bar had a slight sweet smell from the chocolate but that aside there no indication of coffee whatsoever. Upon biting into the bar this all changed and the coffee flavor comes through strongly against the delicious chocolate and cookie base. The coffee flavour is distinctive yet manages to remain sweet and not bitter like I think some people would expect it to. Simply delicious!
Its a hard decision but im going to rate this just below the Caramel bars which are currently winning on the chocolate mission. The reason for this is down to the chocolate. Although the coffee flavour is absolutely genious the chocolate coating isnt the best chocolate around - if this was a bar coated in Dairy Milk or Galaxy we would be having a new leader right now!
Overall this is a great tasting bar that I cant compliment enough; I urge you to get hold of one its that good. It takes pride of place in the top bars.

i havent had a Twix in years, though I'm kinda keen to try one as apparently the biscuit was altered around 2000 lol. Does anyone remember the coc n orange twix? i liked both, being a fan of choc and orange but they were a limited edition too, in 1990 and 1999.
cheers

Alan I can vaguely remember a choc/orange Twix though I swear it was a bit like the Twix Dark and only sold in those single finger supermarket packs!??? Maybe that is me talking rubbish!
Jim
lol well it did come in normal two finger packs if i remember rightly but the biscuit was chocolate with an orange flavour and i think the choc was a bit darker too, as you say sorta more like a twix dark with a hint of orange lol for some reason i tend to be a bit dissapointed with some variatons on things the flavour never seems to be as stong as i expect!
