Nestle Crunch Cappuccino Stixx
I was actually a little worried that this was a product that had come and gone and these were remnants, but these had an expiry date of May 2008, so for just a buck (they’re $2 or more at the grocery store), I figured I should give them a go. (I’ll admit I’m still confused because they’re not listed on the Nestle-Stixx website.) (This is the same Dollar Tree where I stood there wondering why there were two different package designs for Goetze’s Caramel Creams ... then I looked at the expiration date, some were perfectly fresh and new, the others expired in early 2006. They were both the same price. Seriously, why would I buy the old ones, except perhaps as a wrapper collector? I bought the fresh ones.)
The official definition of these on the package is milk chocolate covering a wafer filled with cappuccino creme. I think they’re positioned to be a calorie-controlled portion, as they’re only 90 calories per stick. Honestly, I didn’t expect much. I expected sweet milk chocolate and fake coffee creme. However, they smelled pretty good. Like a good hot mocha. The crisp of the wafer tube was good, bland but with a slight cereal taste. The inside cream had a strong coffee essence to it and some actual bitterness. I welcomed that light bitter bite to go along with the sweet chocolate. This is what Coffee Crisp should be like ... good coffee flavor, not too sweet with some light crunch and real chocolate. I ate them. I ate them all. Related Candies

“I ate them. I ate them all.”
Haha, I’ve thought that enough times—sometimes with satisfaction and sometimes with horror.
Ohhh they look amazing
I think I’ll buy them and maybe have them with some hot chocolate. I think they’ll go well together!!
