Everyone know Twix bars from the Mars company; you see it in the grocery store, you eat the minis at Halloween and out of your dry cleaner’s candy dish. But, have you ever really thought about the rich chocolatey history or recall the brief experimental flavors of the ’90′s?
Flashback if you will to the early 1990′s when the Mars company decided to go beyond the classic caramel and peanut butter staples and welcome in: Cookies and Cream Twix and Fudge Twix. Now we won’t even get in to the other experimental flavors from overseas (Mint, Orange, Triple Chocolate, Coffee…the list goes on) but for that were in to experimenting you would have enjoyed the Fudge and Cookies and Cream flavors. I know I did! So let’s break it down, Fudge first.
Fudge Twix was a mouthful, I remember the thick chocolate sticking to the roof of my mouth like the Peanut Butter Twix, but without the pleasant aftertaste. Even as a chocolate lover, the Fudge Twix almost proved to be too much. As Caramel being the all-time favorite, I found that fudge filled Twix was simply OK.
Cookies and Cream Twix, however, fast became a competitor for the favor of all time with caramel. Back then, the cookies and cream flavor in a candy bar was pretty revolutionary. Not like now where it’s fast become a regular flavor, but then it was like getting Oreo cream filling smashed in with the goodness of Twix. Consuming Cookies and Cream Twix became a favorite past time. And not just for me, as there are several online petitions out there encouraging the Mars company to once again bring back the goodness of Cookies and Cream Twix.
Short, but sweet, was the run of the Fudge and Cookies and Cream Twix varieties. If you remember the hey day of these treats, let me know what you thought!

I dearly miss the Cookies N’ Cream Twix. I remember the pool I used to go to when I was little had all four flavors for awhile. Apparently, I am the only person I know who remembers when there were the two other flavors. The Twix letters were blue on one label and on the other they were brown. I had to go searching for the truth because no one believed me! I really want the Cookies N’ Cream one back. I remember the fudge, but it was kind of a take it or leave it.

You are not alone! Sign the petition and let’s bring back Cookies n’ Cream Twix. I could live off that one and Caramel.
July 23rd, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I remember when all four flavours were available: caramel, peanut butter, fudge, and cookies n’ cream. My all-time favourite candy bar, hands down, was the cookies n’ cream. I wish they would bring it back! I agree with both of you–bring it back! And, Jessie, I have had that same response…barely anyone remembers the cookies n’ cream when I bring it up…

Just thinking about the cookies and cream Twix makes me very nostalgic. I emailed them today, requesting Mars to rethink the Twix offerings. http://www.twix.com

I agree that cookies and cream were the best flavor. I have been looking for them for years. It would be great if they brought them back. I’m glad there are people with good taste that want to have some tasty candy back that reminds of us of our childhood.

I noticed that Mars is doing “retro” packaging for M&Ms, the candy itself is the same, but I would so love to see chocolate companies go “retro” with their flavors too!

I LOVED the Cookies ‘N’ Cream Twix Bars. They were soooo good. I can’t believe they stopped making them, because I’m seeing now that it isn’t just me who misses them. I really hope they bring them back. There’s really no reason not to. They could sort of do a trial run where they said it was a limited time only thing, just to see how the sales would go, and then they could be sure that people would buy them. I think at this point they’d sell better than the caramel Twix.
Another candy bar I miss was when they did a limited time deal for the 101 Dalmations movie. It was a white chocolate candy bar with little crunchy chocolate candies in it. I don’t know if anybody else remembers that one.

Vaguely. I can’t say I ever tried it though. Unfortunately the i-petition on bringing back the Cookies n’ Cream Twix doesn’t seem to be doing much.

My all time favorite is the Peanut Butter Twix. The chocolate cookie is SO MUCH better than the vanilla cookie in it. It seems to be popular where I live in the States cuz I always see almost empty boxes on shelves in the stores. The Caramel one is ok, but gets boring after time. The “oldies” Cookies N Cream and the Fudge ones weren’t that “special”, just another couple of flavors passing thru life.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
i LOVED THE COOKIES AND CREAM TWIX… Please bring it back!!
September 18th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
AGREEED!
September 18th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
I AGREE 100%!!!! BRING BACK COOKIES N’ CREAM TWIX!!!!!
September 30th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Thank you for posting this!!
I loved the Cookies and Cream Twix bar. I was sooo sad when they stopped making them.
To me, the Fudge Twix was way too sweet and not remarkable.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I thought I was the only one that remembered..lol..I want cookies & cream twix back.

November 19th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
i remember when i was little and i tried the twix cookies n cream i thought it was so delicious… the company should bring it back
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Agreed! I could really go for one right now!
December 12th, 2009 at 1:12 am
I miss the Cookie’s N Creme Twix very badly, it was my all time favorite candy bar i havent had one since I was 11 or 12 years old I have called the Twix company many times to request them to bring it back but they just will not seem to ever bring it back it was a lot better then all the other Twix flavors I think if they were to bring it back now it would sell a lot better then the Java Twix. It has been gone for many years now and it is just not looking very good for them bringing it back but i wish there was some way.

i am constantly talking to people about the cookies n’ cream twix and i have had MULTIPLE people tell me i am crazy and that it never existed! i am soooo glad to hear that other people know of it and i SOOO wish they would bring it back!!!
March 1st, 2010 at 12:45 pm
The last time I had a Cookies & Cream twix, I was about 7. I still think about that candy bar til this day and I’m 26 now. Please bring it back. Why’d you take it away in the first place?
April 9th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
I LOVED the cookies and cream twix!!! I was also very young when they were sold so they must have been amazing to have made the impression that they did on me. I have actually dreamt of finding them for sale and buying all the boxes in the store so that I would never have to go with out them again. Funny but true. Hope they come back one day so my own daughter can try!!
June 20th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
I miss the cookies and cream twix. I became alergic to chocolate and could’t have it for several years. Recently I tried chocolate and for the first time in 10 years I am able to eat chocolate again. I have been asking around for the cookies and cream twix and butterfinger bbs. They were the best! To bad they don’t have either anymore.
June 28th, 2010 at 7:47 am
I found a little blue clippy thing while going through all of old kitchen things from the basement. It looks sort of like a plastic barrette and inside it says twix-it..
Wondering if anyone knows what this is. Thanks
p.s. I love twix.
August 6th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Twix Cookies and Cream were awesome. Easily the best Twix variety I have ever tried. I can’t believe the company stopped making them. I am obviously not alone in my opinion by reading the other comments. Maybe it was just not marketed heavily enough, because if you ask the average person today they don’t even remember the Cookies and Cream or Fudge varieties ever existed. Once again they were great.
August 15th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
I was about 9 the last time I had one it was my favorite. I have been waiting way to long. Bring back cookies n cream twix.
August 18th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Every once in awhile I will ask someone if they ever had one or even remember the cookies and cream flavor and most of the time it’s a no. Not for me, I remember it like it was yesterday and honestly miss it a lot! I just looked it up and couldn’t believe it was only around for one year (1990)! Not sure why, because I personally thought it was the best flavor barr nunn! Anyway, it would be really awesome if Mars would bring it back to stay.
September 16th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Bring back Cookies n Cream!!!! That was my all time favorite Twix. Everytime you get a favorite they always stop making it. Like alot of peole who commented there are some who dont remember the other flavors but the cookies n cream was the best. At least bring it back for a limited time
October 18th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
Super pout! I so loved Cookies ‘n Cream Twix. There are people out there that don’t believe me or think I’m confused when I say that it was the greatest Twix. Most people don’t even remember them. But oh I still dream of going roller skating on Saturday night and getting a Coke and Cookies ‘n Cream Twix and everything being perfect in the world. D*mn Mars for not bringing it back!!!
October 21st, 2010 at 10:24 am
I know! And it was just announced that Twix is unveiling a Coconut Cookie Bar April 2011. Screw that! I want Cookies’ Cream Twix!

November 2nd, 2010 at 11:52 pm
I remember eating these when i was little and these are easily the most memorable treat i have ever eaten. Im pretty sure they werent only made in 1990 considering i was born in 1988 and wouldnt recall eating candy at 2. I remember visiting my grandma in hawaii when i was young and would go to the corner store and get a cookies and cream twix bar. Then I came back to california and I could never find them again and I remember asking people if they recall ever eating one and they thought i was confused about a actual cookies and cream twix bar. And btw Sarah i also had a dream about buying a cookies and cream twix bar again a couple years ago and i was devastating waking up the next morning and realizing once again they know longer exist. MARS DO THE RIGHT THING!!!
November 2nd, 2010 at 11:55 pm
And If they really unveil a Coconut Twix i think i might lose it i cannot stand coconut!!!!!!!
I am prolly going to have another twix nightmare =(
December 23rd, 2010 at 10:25 am
yes…bring back cookies n creme twix. it was the only one that i liked. i dont care for any of the other twixes.
March 4th, 2011 at 1:01 pm
i thought i was the only one that remember cookies n creme twix..everyone i ask has no idea what i am talking about! I LOVE THEM!!! they need to bring them back!!
March 13th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
I remember those days. I used to get all four at once because I liked them all. Now since the Cookie N Cream as well as the Fudge Twix are gone ,but certainly not forgotten. I’ve been looking for a good chocolate shortbread recipe to make my own CNC and Fudge Twix.
March 14th, 2011 at 11:55 am
Now that’s a great idea. Twix is showing no signs of bringing back the coveted flavor no matter how much I whine.
March 21st, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Cookies and Cream twix was a favorite of mine.
The fudge was Ok. Heck, A fudge twix would be a treat right now.
I would pay 100$ for a cookies and cream twix (frech)
I wonder how sick you would get from eating a vintage in wrap cookies and cream twix.
That would probably bring some chump change on eBay just for the colloectors value alone.
Imagine the scientific tests we could preform on it. Eventually the Cookies and Cream Twix could be cloned for all to enjoy

I just posted on fb how I want cookies n cream and a friend of mine was very sure there was no such thing. so I googled it to prove my point. Im glad to see all of you miss them too!
August 25th, 2011 at 6:15 am
Please bring back the Cookies n Cream twix. I miss them and they are one of my favorite candy bars.
September 28th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Hands down Cookies n’ Cream was the best Twix in Candy bar history. Everyone who feels the same way I do needs to go to the Twix website and e-mail them and tell them to bring it back or we as a whole will boycott the Twix brand 4EVER!!!
October 17th, 2011 at 9:20 pm
I can remember going to Georgia Southern University. In the Foy building which was the music building they put this delicious candy bar in for us. So, I tried it and IMMEDIATELY had my favorite candy bar. It got to the point that a group of about 6 of us FOUGHT to get the last one or as many as we could. We finally convinced the vending machine guy to put in two rows of it.. then three.. then FOUR! IT was always sold out before he had a chance to come back the next week to fill it up. I have seen on facebook a page to bring it back. YES PLEASE!!! bring my favorite candy bar back
October 23rd, 2011 at 6:49 pm
[...] Fruit-flavored non-chocolate Halloween treats get no respect: Only 3 percent of all adults surveyed listed fruit-flavored non-chocolate treats as their Halloween favorite. The winning treat combination? Chocolate with peanuts or peanut butter topped the list at 39 percent, followed by a chocolate and caramel combination as a close second (30 percent). Phew, good thing TWIX bars come in classic TWIX® Caramel and TWIX® Peanut Butter. Conversational speaking does not fit with research writing, and what the hell happened to cookies n’ cream twix? [...]
January 14th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
I am so glad I found this…I was starting to think maybe I was crazy and that the cookies n cream never existed and maybe i just dreamed it up. Every time I ask someone about it I feel like a total idiot because everyone acts like it never existed! I will look at this petition for sure because i would love for them to bring it back. The caramel twix is my favorite candy bar, but if they had the cookies n cream i would definitely choose it over the caramel.
