Fruit and wafers works, but you really have to chose the fruit wisely. Even if you pick a good fruit to match with a wafer bar, balancing the flavour is important as well. The problem I have with some fruit flavoured wafer bars is that the texture and flavour of the wafers seems to take away from the fruit flavour. If they work together it's a beautiful contrast, but it can be disastrous too. Fortunately the folk at Manner have been doing this kind of treat for decades, and they do a pretty good job at getting the balance just right.

I truly have mixed feelings about wafer bars. Some of my favourite candy bars and cookies are wafer based bar, but some of my least favourite candy bars and cookies are also wafer based. It really is an ingredient that can go either direction. The weird thing is I'm not really sure what makes for a great wafer based bar, I just know a good one when I eat it. Fortunately the folks at Manner make a good bar, and that's what I have to eat today. While it's not as good as their regular bar, it's still pretty tasty.

On a recent trip to the Philippines, I discovered what might be the greatest collection of Tang flavours offered anywhere in the world. I’ve tasted some pretty fun flavours of Tang in my life, but most places that sell a lot of Tang tend to offer 2 or 3 standard flavours, and maybe one or two unique flavours. In the Philippines however, they sell no less than 10 or 15 flavours, and it seems like they sell them at all times. Best of all, they offer these flavours in small single serving packages. One of the biggest problems I have in sampling new flavours of Tang is that I often have to buy a ..read more

  I think wafers might be the most popular cookie that's put into candy bars. There are just so many of them out there, with some doing really well, and others... well. It's weird because some of my least favourite candy bars use wafers and some of my favourite bars also use wafers. It seems like such a simple ingredient to use, so it makes me wonder what makes for a good wafer based candy bar and what makes for a horrible wafer based bar. My guess is it's not just one thing, it's probably a lot of factors that go into making a great wafer bar. Check out my latest review that features on ..read more
