Time Out Wafer – Does this Count as a Candy Bar?

Time Out Wafer

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.
