Flaky Flix Finx

Um, yeah, the title makes perfect sense. I was going to say Flaky Flix Sucks (but with an F and, well, that just wouldn't be prudent). Anyway. Mother's cookies, which I think is owned by a Taiwan company (I kid you not), started making Flaky Flix again.




These USED to be one of my favorites (they have a vanilla center and a chocolate fudge center, I preferred the chocolate fudge). I bought a box and wow did they suck (with an S). They changed the recipe and now they're barely edible. The chocolate is waxy. There's no fudge flavor to the supposed fudge inside. It's quite pitiful. Luckily, there's a more than adequate surrogate, thanks to Nestle.




These things taste much like the Flaky Flix of yore. Sure, there's some difference, but they have the fairly intense chocolate fudge flavor with the crispy crunchies on the outside. Great stuff. This is my favorite way to eat chocolate, by which I mean the chocolate being part of a pastry or cookie (is a cookie a pastry?) or cake or a candy bar-cum-cookie.

Thanks, I thought maybe I was crazy a year ago when Flaky Flix resurfaced and didn't taste the same or good at all. I loved Flaky Flix and am so disappointed they are gone.
It was kind of strange, they disappeared for months, and then returned only to be awful. Then all Mother's cookies were gone.
Now Mother's is back, but no Flaky Flix yet.

I will give that newer Crunch bar a try, but I'm not a fan of Nestle's Crunch bar. I prefer Hershey's chocolate over Nestle.
Speaking of, do you remember Hershey's Bar None candy bar? Was the chocolate lover's candy bar. It was wafer like and was delicious. Of course they terminated it. All that I love gets the axe. Reese's Nutrageous is gone. That's what I get for loving it.

I do quite concur on the Bar None bar. That was some good eats.
