    Bought one in my local shop not too long ago.. not tried it yet!

    marsTwixFino.jpg

    Details here:
    Chocolate giant Mars Inc has launched a "lighter" version of its Twix bar in the UK.

    Available from next month, Twix Fino will have a third fewer calories than the standard Twix, while a wafer will replace the biscuit in the original chocolate bar. Twix Fino contains 94 calories per piece.

    All I can tell you is it's VERY light in weight... the replacement of biscuit with wafer does make it a helluva lot lighter.

    Meh it's a Twix version of Mars Delight really.
    Not impressed, it's so light it's practically empty and very little caramel stuff in the middle.

    Mate of mine got one the other day and gave me a bite.
    It is very much like a Mars Delight, but without the good bit in the middle.
    Tastes a bit like cardboard..

    Haven't been eating chocolate lately...but was in boots today and couldn't resist picking one of these up. What a waste of money, I'd have been better off eating air. Tasted of nothing. Was like it just crumbled in my mouth and disappeared.

    Its a diet bar as opposed to a luxury bar really, there main way of bringing down the cals was just to fill it with air and whatever that wafer stuff is.

    It's rubbish. Give me the real twix anyday! The reason it has less calories is because there's less of it!

    First and last time tonight that I will be having one of these!

    What is the point, the biscuit base is one of the major selling points of a normal twix. With the Fino they have taken out the best bit, waste of space!!
