Kcal 167 Fat 12.8g Fat(sats) 10.8g Carbs 26.9gDescribed as a 'caramel flavoured bar' this wasn't your standard chocolate bar. Although I could in one sense see the resemblance to caramel in colour, it was actually more of a half way house between milk chocolate and white chocolate.
In regards to it's ingredients the bar was very high in sugar which meant it was exceedingly sweet in taste. The thin nature of the bar stopped thisfrom becoming such an issue and prevented it from being either sickly or over powering. I felt that the melt was nicely paced and despite the flavours mainly being sugar rooted I thought the taste had a very pleasant creaminess to it.
Overall this was a good alternative to your standard chocolate bar but not quite challenging the upper tier of the Chocolate Mission ranks. When it comes down to it, the bar does taste really quite nice with it's sugary creamy taste, though one slight let down is the size and I was admittedly left still feeling a little peckish.

hi jim,
i like caramacs but as you say on one hand they could be bigger but then they might be too sickly lol
i can taste soem caramel in there though, not sure id say it was a mix between milk and white, it would have a more faint cocoa tatse wouldnt it id say imo a bit like the nougat in double deckers lol
what ive never understood is why McVities have never got together with Nestle and use caramac on their Gold bars - they use there own version ad its not as nice lol
cheers

Alan They used to do the Caramac Kit Kat's didn't they! Never tried them myself but I hear they were pretty good.
Good idea on the Gold bars... I cant see that collaboration ever happening though!!
As for a Caramac Chunky bar .... hmm I don't think it would work - way too sweet. Hmmm I really fancy a Caramac now
Jim
they did lol i think i tried them once but wasnt too sure of the combination of caramac n wafer, it didnt quite work for me.
lol i know, its shame coz caramac would work better on the gold bars - companies have teamed up before tho, when theyve put 'now with X's chocolate' or whatever so its not a complete impossibility.
i agree a chunky caramac would be too sweet but maybe a slightly bigger bar as you suggest may work
lol i nearly bought one earlier but ended up buying - a massive Lion bar - not sure if you've seen them theyre twice the size called Big bite or something, along with chunky kit kats and yorkie bars!

Alan I would never rule out a McVities and Nestle collaboration but I think it is probably unlikely ... I wonder if they have ever done anyting before!? A United Biscuits and Nestle collaboration hmmm who knows eh!?
I have seen those bigger Nestle bars knocking around! The Kit Kat Cunky Peanut Butter XL looks one hell of a prospect ... reminds me of the thing I ate last night actually ...you will have to waite and see what that was next week ;)
Cheers
Jim
i dont know lol i wonder if theyve ever even thought of it lol would make sense wouldnt it lol
im away next week from tomorrow so will have some catching up to do when i get back!
cheers
alam
Alan no probably not!! Have a good time away!
Jim
hey jim
how wierd that we were talking about putting caramac on mcvities Gold bars - on the article i put up on the frys peppermint cream review a woman rememebers a caramc McVities digestive from the 60's - so they did work togetehr for a time lol strangely tho i'm sure ive had a caramac digestive - maybe im just imagining it!
Alan Yeah I did see that on the article ... lol the 60s is a good 30 years before my time so I unfortunately can't comment on the Carramac Digestive .... sounds one hell of a great idea though!
Cheers
Jim
it certainly does lol im 26 so its way before my time too. i might be thinking of the caramel digestives, havent had one of those for yonks!
cheers
alan
