What is that thick layer in the middle of a Coffee Crisp? Flavoured white chocolate? I honestly have no idea.
Whatever it is, it’s missing from Coffee Crisp Stix. I would have thought that this would make this thing taste less like Coffee Crisp and more like a generic wafer bar, but its identity is relatively intact; it definitely has the distinctive flavour of its namesake.
I basically tastes like a lighter, more wafery version of Coffee Crisp. It’s tasty in most of the same ways, so suffice it to say, if you like Coffee Crisp you’re probably going to like this (and if you’re not Canadian and have no idea what Coffee Crisp is — don’t worry, you’re not missing out on anything too mind-blowing).
I’m pretty sure the exterior is actually mockolate and not chocolate (it’s pretty waxy), but it’s thin enough that it’s not really a big deal.
As for the salted caramel, I didn’t notice much of a caramel flavour, but there’s definitely a mild saltiness that does a nice job of complimenting the bar’s sweetness.
