Poundland Twin Peaks Milk Chocolate Bar (like Toblerone!)

A while back, Poundland announced they would be launching their own honey and nougat chocolate bar similar to Toblerone called Twin Peaks, "inspired by the Wrekin and Ercall hills". Yeah right Poundland! It's obviously "inspired" by Toblerone and apparently Poundland ended up in trouble with Mondelez over the bar, hence why it's taken so long to appear on shelves. But they've settled their differences and the bar is now in Poundland for a limited period - featuring a turquoise wrapper to make sure no one confuses it with Toblerone, looking similar to Poundland's store logo.

The bar weighs 180g - 20% more than a small Toblerone which is 150g, and more than Toblerone used to weigh before they bizarrely changed the block design last year. It's described as "Milk chocolate with almond and honey nougat (10%)" and is suitable for vegetarians.

The main difference of course is the shape - "inspired by the Wrekin and Ercall hills" - it has a little dip in the centre of each piece. Thankfully there is no huge gap in between the chunks like in Toblerone bars.

But how does it taste? Does it recreate the classic honey and almond nougat bars flavour?

Sadly it doesn't. Its not a bad bar of chocolate at all, and is very satisfying to bite into, with some nice honey nougat crunchiness to chew on. But the chocolate doesn't have that distinctive rich "Swiss" flavour Toblerone does, it is clearly a cheaper version. However as far as knockoff chocolate bars go it's really not too bad and is good enough to justify buying instead of Toblerone, considering you're getting more for your £1 and the blocks aren't annoyingly spaced!

Overall, this bar is pretty decent and great value if you're on a  budget and want more chocolate for your money. I can imagine it selling well, that's if it sticks around - word has it these are only available in limited batches for a short time. Stock up while you can!

  2. Bought one yesterday,long anticipated sadly disappointing. Sorry despite Tobelerones new lightweight and big gaps, I'll still be having to buy it.
    Twin peaks to my taste is sickly sweet and the volume of little "bits" is too high. Won't buy another.Sorry

  3. Pros • Applicator is reusable • Self-regulating heat source • Comes with additional temperature sheets Cons • Synthetic urine isn’t premixed • Very pricey synthetic pee kit • Focuses on temperature too much The Urinator Powdered Urine kit comes with its own reusable applicator, and that alone is worth the price of admission. Moreover, though, this brand is what you might call a specialist when it comes to regulating the temperature of your synthetic pee. The kit comes with a self-regulating heating system, which means that you won’t have to worry about getting the right temperature for it; the Urinator does it for you. But if you want to be extra sure, the brand includes some temperature strips in the package to help you check the exact temperature of your synthetic pee. This is where Toxin Rid’s kit shines, it targets all 3 of these channels; the kit consists of pills, detox liquid, and fibre. Which are meant to be taken in tandem.
