I think that Cybele, who writes Candy Blog, gets a lot of her candy samples from convenience stores, which are more likely to stock the limited edition varieties of bars than the average grocery store. It just so happened that, while on a little bit of a road trip, I spotted this Limited Edition Triple Chocolate Twix in such a store.
The bar had the same milky, sweet chocolate covering that most Twix bars do, but also had a layer of chocolate caramel on top of a chocolate cookie. The cookie went wonderfully in the bar. It had a good chocolate flavor and was very light and tender, especially when compared to the much firmer cookie that is usually included in the candy bar. The caramel did not seem all that chocolaty when eaten alone, but it really tied the chocolate coating in to the chocolate cookie. When taken as a whole, the bar was excellent. It was lighter and more addictive than the standard Twix, with a good balance of chocolate and sweetness. It's hard to say how long a limited edition bar will stick around once it has been released, but this flavor is clearly a winner, so let's hope it is available for more than a couple of weeks.

The Triple Choc Twix is an occasional delight in the UK - I remember the first I ever had was bought in a small newsagent in Anfield Road the day the first Gulf War started; we'd been up all night watching the news, and as dawn crawled round, nipped up the shop to buy the papers and they had a small display of these rare delights.
The white chocolate ones, however, are nicer.

Does anyone else remember Twix's flirtation with cookies and cream? I seem to recall there being other flavors, and I miss them all.

We had those in Australia a while ago, and they've stopped selling them (as far as I can tell). It's a real shame because I missed out on them completely (feel free to send me some :D)

I found this delightful treat at Target in my area. I called the TWIX people to have them put it in all the stores around my area. I asked them how long it was going to be available, "I have no idea." was the comment. This has become a FAVORITE Chocolate bar for me.
