The Twix Snickerdoodle chocolate bar has been announced by the brand as its latest flavor of the quintessential treat that's expected to catch the attention of consumers this summer and beyond.
The chocolate bar features the signature cookies, caramel and chocolate that the original is known for, but has been enhanced with a cinnamon-sugar caramel swirl. These ingredients combine together to achieve the familiar flavor of snickerdoodle cookies that are commonplace at holiday get-togethers.
The Twix Snickerdoodle chocolate bar is being added to the brand's permanent lineup and will arrive on the market in July. The product plays on the existing flavor profile of Twix bars, but gives it a slight refinement to create something completely new yet familiar at the same time to respond to consumer demand.
