Sixth sense

I have a sixth sense.  Basically I can find awesome candy anywhere we go.  It's a gift.
The latest find is something I had never even imagined, but exactly what you need in your life.


COCONUT TWIX!  

I literally made a scene when I saw the spread of new, limited time, candy bars.  I immediately walked over and grabbed a handful to take home with us.  My candy partner in crime, Ben, was equally excited but reminded me that we may not need the entire display of candy bars.  Although my "what if I never see it again!" panic was setting in, he is usually right so I settled on a couple.

When we got it home we waited a few minutes {see we're not entirely insane}before breaking into the new find.  I was a little nervous to give it a try - not wanting it to ruin the goodness potential that it obviously has.  I wondered if it would just be coconut flavor hidden somewhere or would there be an added strip of coconut.  And if there was an added strip would it be flaky coconut goodness like the coconut kisses or would it be boring wanna-be coconut like the M&Ms.  After explaining my fear to Ben he insisted that maybe I should just open the package so we could give it a try.

It was delightful.  No flakes, no wanna-be coconut, just coconut flavored caramel.  {Which I could have found out if I would have actually read the package instead of debating the options for 10 mins.}  The cookie and yummy milk chocolate remain untouched and just as satisfying as you would expect a Twix to be. The caramel has an added coconut flavor which isn't over-powering or too subtle.  It was melt in your mouth awe-some. Thumbs up to Mars for the fun summer time treat.  Now, I should probably go back and get more...
