Heath Milk Chocolate English Toffee Bar

OFFICIAL SNACK REPORT
Sanctioned By WASAW Snack Committee

Reviewed By: Paddy O'Poppycock

Location: CVS

OFFICIAL NAME OF SNACK:
HEATH

PRICE: $.60

WEIGHT: 1.4 oz.

DESCRIPTION OF SNACK:
Two flat chocolate-covered pieces of English Toffee.

SSI RATING (SNACK SATISFACTION INDEX - 1-10): 6.3

UPSIDE: Toffee is substantial -- the chocolate is delicious but does not overtake what makes the Heath bar what it is - toffee.

DOWNSIDE: Aftertaste. Has toffee always had a coffee aftertaste? Lingering taste seemed a bit more bitter than other toffee candies, such as the thinner, longer Skor bar.

 

1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Milk chocolate
Sugar
Dairy Butter
Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil

LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Chopped Almonds
Salt
Natural and Artificial Flavoring
Soya Lecithin

PACKAGING:

Does a good job of saying, "I'm made of English Toffee, so respect me." Unfortunately, unless I'm seeking out a Heath bar, I won't bite. This blah brown and bronze wrapper doesn't compete well with other candy bar packaging in the ever-growing candy aisle.

DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

Coffee lovers, yes. Toffee lovers, yes. The rest of you, well, I recommend just buying a McFlurry, Blizzard or a Mister Softie Artic Twist with Heath bar topping. This is the only candy bar I know that actually tastes better in ice cream.

WHICH SOUTH PARK CHARACTER WOULD LIKE IT BEST?:

Suckubus.

HOW CAN THE PRODUCT BE IMPROVED:

Lighten up on the aftertaste and on the brown in the packaging. Keep up the good work with the ice creamcombo . No one ever asks for Skor bar topping in their Dairy Queen Blizzard. It's Heath or it's not worth it.
