The first Twix I ever had was from a train station vending machine in Germany and I was smitten. But while the US version is delicious, it’s not the same.
These Belgian cookies, especially the chocolate covered ones, have that same ‘je ne sais quoi’ I remember.
(I know these are wheat-based — it’s been years since I’ve actually had any, but they’re too good to discourage others from eating and I haven’t yet done a very thorough check of the new TJ’s gluten free cookie options. It’s also possible that they’re imported from Europe, like many of the foreign treats at Cost Plus like Swedish ginger snaps with pumpkin dip, and don’t rely on US wheat, which seems to be particularly hard on digestive systems.)
