Managed to get my hands on the new orange flavoured Twirl bar which was released today. AIBU to drive to all the local supermarkets and buy the lot?! So delicious 🤤

Saw a jar of marmite and peanut spread this morning..Envyyukk.....not sure what that's got to do with a twirl bar though😀

Lidl do a version of an orange aero
Orange aero is available at Aldi

So now that is Co-op for the twirls, Lidl and Aldi.
How many supermarkets is too many?

I just went on the hunt and found them in my local budgens. Plan was to eat half now and half after dinner but I seem to have accidentally scoffed both in one sitting whilst barely drawing breath 😳

Contains palm oil hence inedible shit.

The orange lindor bar tastes just like chocolate orange used to before it went baaaad

The mint one is yum too

It's weird that this is such a a popular combination that more manufacturers don't do it.

takeasadsongandmakeitbetter · 04/10/2019 15:37

Can't wait to try this!
Also a big fan of the Aldi bubbly orange chocolate bar... I buy 3 a week and keep them hidden from DP and DS so I don't have to share Blush

Literally just finished eating one. Disappointed massively. The orange isn't that strong in it and the chocolate isn't as melty if that makes sense.

PigletJohn · 04/10/2019 15:43

"just finished eating one"

one what?

GladAllOver · 04/10/2019 15:45

Contains palm oil hence inedible shit.
Not just palm oil but they are experimenting with other odd stuff as well. Have a look at the ingredients on the wrapper. A
nything to reduce the proper cocoa butter and the cost of making it, and sod the nasty oily aftertaste.
It just isn't Cadburys any more.

@rivergreen LOVE the Lindor bars. Could eat a million of them. Also love the orange, mint and hazelnut Lindor truffle balls ❤️❤️❤️

Orange matchmakers are the best! Not tried the Twirl yet.

Jimmers · 04/10/2019 16:06

😭😭 @Ellabella989 they haven’t got any!!!

Ellabella989 · 04/10/2019 16:11

@Jimmers hopefully it won’t be long until everywhere is stocking them. It took me ages to hunt down the new Cadbury gingerbread bar a few weeks ago and now they are readily available everywhere

I can’t find either the orange Twirl or the gingerbread one. Grrrrrr.

Ellabella989 · 04/10/2019 18:24

The gingerbread only comes in the large family size of bar. It’s really nice didn’t particularly taste of gingerbread to me. Was a bit more like a Crunchie flavour

I only have dark chocolate occasionally, my absolute favourite are Twirl or Wispa bites. Also like the new Tony's stuff in the red wrapper, tastes like choc used to taste

mnthrowaway2099 · 04/10/2019 19:12

I sort of want to try it, but I feel like limited edition/fancy versions of standard chocolates always end up being naff! Eg the white twix. I can already sense the disappointment.

WillowherbRose · 04/10/2019 19:16

Not good

Too sweet, not chocolaty enough and definitely not orangey enough Sad

Bezalelle · 04/10/2019 19:17

I'm going to need a million one of these.

Nutellalovesme · 04/10/2019 19:23

Somebody on another thread said the orange twirls are only available in Birmingham.......Obviously that can't be right can it?

Deathraystare · 04/10/2019 19:26

I am with you Bright Yellow Daffodill - I do like Jaffa cakes and orange matchmakers but loathe anything else choclate and orange - Terry's Orange - yeuch! Twirls are lovely without ruining them thank you!

Ellabella989 · 04/10/2019 19:52

Has anyone tried the orange Bournville?

Aldi have got big orange Aero bars in at the moment.
Orange Twirls aren't very orangey Sad

Oh @Deathraystare I quite agree. I used to always end up with the abomination that is a Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas ("It's not Terry's...it's mine" - no, you keep it love). I smiled politely then put it in the foodbank box.
