Twix is a Chocolate snack or Candy Bar made by Mars, Inc. consisting of a Cookie centre topped with Caramel and coated in Milk Chocolate . Being somewhat smaller in cross section than other candy bars, Twix are typically packaged in pairs. Twix was introduced in 1979 . Twix was called Raider in Austria , Belgium , Denmark , Finland , France , Germany , Greece , Italy , The Netherlands , Portugal , Sweden , Switzerland and Norway for many years before its name was changed in 1991 to match the international brand name. This name change was met with scorn in Germany . The Slogan ''Raider heißt jetzt Twix, ... sonst ändert sich nix'' ("Raider is now called Twix, ... nothing else changes") has become a Metaphor for botched attempts to make something look more modern by giving it a new, Cool name. FLAVOR AND PRODUCT VARIANTS Peanut Butter Twix is also available with Peanut Butter replacing the caramel.
