Twix Chocolate Bar

Twix is a chocolate bar consisting of a biscuit topped with caramel and coated in milk chocolate. It was first produced in the United Kingdom in 1967 by Mars Limited and introduced in the United States in 1979. The name 'Twix' is a portmanteau of 'twin sticks'. In mainland Europe, it was initially called 'Raider' until 1991, when the name was changed to match the international brand name. Twix is manufactured in multiple countries, including the United States and the Netherlands, to serve global markets. The primary owner of Twix is Mars, Incorporated, a privately held, family-owned company headquartered in the United States.
