Title: Kitkat Caramel
Post by: oldspice on October 06, 2004, 08:05:32 am

As there are so many new bars around this year but I am dieting, I keep buying them for the family and then snatching a bite myself (this was suggested to me by a Forum member who did not think I should miss out).


Thus, I had a bite of Kitkat Caramel and I found it to be far too sweet for me. My tastebuds are obviously changing as I am eating less sweet things. I have never liked sickly bars anyway and i am afraid I find this too much.


Same goes for the Seville orange one. As for KiKat Lime ........I could re-name it KitKak. No offfence to all you Kitkat fans.

I have eaten enough Kit Kat caramels now to have sickened me off them.


In all honesty, they are too sweet. It was fun while it lasted.

If you like wafer, caramel and chocolate you just cannot do better than a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer. They are just glorious. And the dark chocolate variety are great too. Not to mention the tea cakes. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

I love those Oldspice! My mum nearly always has some at her house...


Are the teacakes the marshmallow type things? If so, they are lovely too!!

If they just didn't have that nasty biscuit (yes it is) base.


Lidl do a similar product with a wafer base covered in dark /plain chocolate. I like those better.

Choc chick where did you get them? Milka chocolates are lovely, I used to bring back lots of their different bars whenever I went to Germany. I know they sell a few of them in shops over here but mainly just 2 flavours. Actually, I did get some Milka hot chocolate powder a while ago, it was being sold off cheap.

I got them from 'Sweet from Heaven' at Thurrock Lakeside. They had just gone past their sell by date so they were only 99p or something. They were really nice. Had a biscuit base, then marshmellow and then covered in chocolate. Only managed to get one as the rest were eaten by my dad!!!!

The Tunnocks Tea Cakes have a lovely creamy marshmallow centre and - sorry Paulham - the base is just magnificent! How can you not love it? I never buy them now of course because it's so hard not to eat the whole boxful.

It stems from my childhood, I guess. You always ate the rubbish part of the food to then slowly savour the part you really liked.


Mallow Vs biscuit= no contest.

Incidentally, you should see the boxes my colleague who inspects Tunnocks, brings back.

Caramel wafer Vs Caramel Log?


No contest, the toasted coconut on the outside wins every time!

I agree Tunnocks teacakes and caramel wafers are Ding Dong!

Yes, the Caramel Logs are terrific too. And do you know, they are one of the very few products that has never changed over the years. The taste, the texture - even the wrapping - are just the same as they ever were when I first came across them in my primamry school tuck shop in 1969! Am I wrong?

And I've never had one so I can't offer an opinion.  I did see them in Sainsbury's the other day so I'll get some next time I'm there.

I just had my first Tunnock's Caramel Wafer - pretty good too.  Sainsbury's used to make something similar years ago - I think it had the natty name of 'Sainsbury's Caramel Wafer!'  Used to have them in my lunch box at school.
