Our Honest Review of the Long-Awaited Snickerdoodle Twix

We’ve been waiting for it for nearly six months—the new Twix flavor has finally arrived. Once again, Twix has reached into the cookie jar for inspiration. Previously, they’ve come up with Sugar Cookie Twix and Cookie Dough Twix, and now they’re offering Snickerdoodle Twix. Yes, everyone’s favorite cinnamon and cream of tartar-flavored cookie is getting the left and right treatment. But is it any good? We got an early taste of the new Twix flavor to find out. 

New Twix Flavor!

Snickerdoodle Twix

Pros: It doesn’t taste like a regular Twix. It definitely has a cinnamon flavor, which comes through especially well on the finish. I even got a hint of tang, just like you would get from a snickerdoodle. And I’m not sure if it was the power of suggestion, but we did feel like the cookie part of the Twix was softer and more crumbly—like a snickerdoodle. I’m impressed they managed to make a Twix taste not just like a Twix. 

Cons: While this new Twix flavor doesn’t taste like a classic Twix, I wish it did. The cinnamon comes through on the finish, but it ends with a bitter taste that lasts. And there’s not enough salt in the cookie or the caramel, so everything just tastes sweet, unlike a classic, balanced Twix. Also, I gave a taste to my colleague Ariana without telling her the flavor and she commented that it definitely tasted peanut buttery. I revealed that there was no peanut butter involved and let her know this was a Snickerdoodle Twix. But even with that knowledge, she swore she tasted peanut butter. Weird! That said, Twix, please bring back Peanut Butter Twix and leave the snickerdoodles alone.
