Time Out Wafer is tasty for what it is, though I think calling it a candy bar might be a bit of a stretch. If you’ve ever tried Loacker — those wafer cookies that come in a rectangular block — then you’ll know what to expect here. This is basically like that, but coated in a thin layer of chocolate and individually packaged.
And that layer of chocolate is thin; you can tell just by looking at it. It’s so thin that it’s semi-transparent, partially revealing the wafer underneath.
But then the bar weighs in at a scant 112 calories, so if you’re looking for something that isn’t too substantial (which would make it the opposite of the Reese Peanut Butter Oh Henry I recently reviewed), this should fit the bill.
It’s enjoyable enough, with an airy crispiness along with a mild sweetness and nice chocolatey flavour. But despite being composed of roughly the same components as a standard Time Out bar (wafers and chocolate), its connection to that one is fairly tenuous. It isn’t much of a substitute if you’re hoping for a lighter version of a Time Out.
